Most of their computers aren't functioning well if it has internet then it doesn't have volume if there's internet connection then there's no volume or it's even slow. It's a clean place though quite and has many desks to study at your comfort

Perfect place to study, it's clean and quiet. Only problem is that they don't allow water inside the library

Nice and quiet. The wifi is not strong enough. It keeps disconnecting. Because of covid we're always supposed to have masks on and that is suffocating. They keep all your food and you're not even allowed to drink water, which is weird.

Absolutely horrible, first of all they didn't have a discussion room available for a group task. Second of all the power mysteriously switched off , and no it was not load shedding. So obviously the people who were using the PC's couldn't work anymore. The people that were left were people who were using hard copy books and studying, the staff at the library were rude and were rushing to go home because of this mysterious power outtage , they chased us out , even told us we were packing up too slow, they couldn't keep the library open for those who had no need for electricty and they had a generator because some of the lights were on. The last straw was when we were scanning documents to send in as we were writing a test that needed to be mailed. The security guards kicked us out of the outside premises where we were working because they needed to go home. This was around 13:00. Rubbish library , rubbish staff , if I could I would give them a zero. Would not recommend. I'm so traumatized. I will never be returning there again.

It is very beautiful, clean and well-maintained. Everyone's well behaved so there's no worries when it comes to noise or disturbances. There's more than enough seating/studying plans, a vast collection of books both academic and otherwise. The librarians are very friendly, remain ready to assist for every and all inquiries. I'm definitely going to be a regular here ????

It's good, however the management for the time allocation of the computer need better care
