East Maitland Library

Tidy, modern, and well designed library, with a great range of books for all ages. Kids are spoilt with giant LEGO and duplo sets to play with, colouring pages prepared, and Storytime sessions

If only there was a quiet place to sit and study. It has to be one of the most noisy libraries I have been in. Fair enough these days places have to cater for all people but they have forgotten the needs of people who are looking for a quiet place to read or study. I found some of the staff friendly and other staff rude. Plenty of parking a d wheelchair access.

Love this place, great place to study or relax.Has plenty of lounges and chairs, has computers and printing services as well as a conference room and study room. They have a kids area, plenty of books and a great view of the native trees and park out the back.The staff are always very friendly and the free wifi is more reliable than maccas free wifi.Printing costs 20c for black and white printing, they also have colour printing and scanning.The downsides are that it is either freezing cold or boiling hot in there, come prepared.They have a cafe, I bought a hot chocolate once and it was close to $10 for a small cup...havent bought anything from there since.However, they do have toilets in the cafe which is useful and they sell farm fresh vegetables which are pretty decent tasting, I bought some corn for a cheap price.There is play equipment for kids in the park outback.There is a car park but it is sometimes full, especially if there is an event on like storytime or authors visiting, etc.All in all it's a nice environment if you need to get some stuff done or relax for a while.

Lovely library with friendly staff. Great for kids with big Lego blocks, nice floor cushions, arts and crafts, Lego and blocks at children's tables. There's an awesome community for baby book club (0-2) and story time (2-5). A playground outside too. For adults there's a good selection of books and community engagement activities such as plants etc. There is also a Cafe in the same building. Parking is often at capacity.

Lovely atmosphere and helpful stuff!

Couldn't find a novel. Three librarians searched and found it for me. Legend.

Friendly staffs, comfortable space, plus they've got beautiful cafe, best place to read

Highly recommended library. Situated in pleasant surroundings, its presented well with very helpful staff members. They are always cheerful and ready to help. Printing and a JP onsite are the additional handy services to look forward to. Activities for kids are always on.

We enjoyed storytime today! So many friendly librarians, welcoming all young, and the young at heart! Very engaging and helpful. We will be back!
