Most of the staff are untrained, there is almost constant radio noise from security and staff radios, staff often have loud if not boisterous conversations with each-other - the few staff who know what they are doing are not always there - Then there are staff who simply try to fob you off when making any sort of enquiry - I have just left the library feeling utterly indignant after waiting in line to make an enquiry (after first being fobbed off when a staff member said there is no result yet of a review of an acquisition I applied for of a law book - she made this declaration without taking my name or library number) then when it got to my turn, part-way through my second attempt at enquiry the staff member started talking past me to another staff member, Really, I felt as welcome as space-suit-flatulence. I won't be going again, is it worth taking the train to Manchester? I'm going to find out. There is definitely an air of misandry, anti-white-racism and other distasteful undercurrents in this library.

Library is a good place, great building, centrally located, one major downside though is the study area, dont expect quiet. Expect groups talking loudly and some on their phones, for those that come to study in a quiet environment, dont. Some seem to treat the study area as a place to catch up socially.
Very good experience nice study area and i could plug in my laptop securely and very quiet loved my time and after study session went to aquarium. Plus very helpful staff.
Defiantly worth a visit with lot to do the for whole family including children's events the museum upstairs and the aquarium. Recommend!
Brilliant library. Loads to do for kids even has its own aquarium! If your in Bolton worth a visit...and it's free!
