Botany Library

Good place to study. Fun to hang out after school. Kids happy, but it is dirty. Clean the seating areas.

Very nice library for studying . And a large meeting room for big gatherings to study in groups. Really clean and also plenty of computers for internet access and printer for printing etc. There's a nice seating area by the windows too if you are reading. And a playground area too for small ones in the corner. Few books as well. Looks like easy to check in and out for books. Also above mall close to eateries when you are done and need some food fuel.

I have had consistently poor service at this library from staff who refuse to assist with the new holds pick up system.nnFirstly, a staff member refused to help, saying that I should get email notifications I do not, and they did not rectify this, another staff member also said that I should know the shelf number for holds, when this is not displayed on the library website and I did not have a smartphone with me.nnSecondly, I have witnessed fights and bickering between staff who are not attentive to the customers at the counter. The facilities are clean and I enjoy the selection here, but I am put off by the rude staff. I would like to acknowledge the lady with the beret and the young man, who by contrast, have been kind to customers.

Great library and very clean and helpful staff. BUT it is so noisy in there. Not whispers but people speaking on top of their voices. Even in the quiet room, there is not enough signs to remind people it is a quiet room and they still have loud conversations and laugh loud. Its so distracting.

As an author, I constantly need new environments to write stories. Since settling in Auckland, this is my first try at Botany Library, for spending time on my writing. Perfect, peaceful, well set up and awesome place. Thank you staff.
