About Walthamstow Library
- 📚 The Walthamstow Library is an impressive Edwardian building known for its beautifully crafted exterior, which creates a sense of grandeur and authority. However, some reviewers feel that it lacks the charm of a modern library.
- 🏠 The library is well-maintained and clean with friendly and helpful staff, according to one reviewer.
- 💡 Some reviewers believe that the library has the potential to be fantastic but falls short due to a lack of professional staff who can champion reading and make visitors feel welcome.
- ✔️ Positives highlighted include a dedicated children’s area, neatly arranged shelves, recent renovations that have improved the state of the building, a café, large study areas with plenty of natural light, and even a lovely fish tank.
- ✖️ On the negative side, some reviewers mention that there are very few staff members who they perceive as unwelcoming. They find it off-putting when staff members don’t make eye contact or engage positively when approached for assistance. Others express disappointment in what they see as bare walls without any efforts made to promote reading or cultural events/services.
