The Curve Slough

Sometimes you wonder if this is actually a library or a football venue do as you please. No staff around - students running the show with excessive noise - staff when available have no control. this place should be shut down

Do not call this a library, it is not one as such. On the inside of this curved building there are two floors designed for study. One is the none-quiet, social section with a selection of books to peruse from. Above it is the inappropriately named 'quiet section'. I'm entirely convinced whoever was assigned to design this building did so in a perfunctory manner as it is just not fit for design. The old library, if anyone remembers it, had a designated section for those who wished to embellish...

A great library with lots of space and friendly librarians, as well as continuously bringing in new books. I'm so glad that Slough has this resource.

I really want to like this place because I really believe in the core idea behind libraries, but the Curve just tries to be several things at once and fails at all of them. As a library it's let down by a lack of books- the selection is really very small and if you request one in from another library you have to pay a transfer fee. As a study space it's awful; staff do nothing about noisy people chatting throughout. As a building, the design sucks; far too much space taken up with staircases ...

Was in the Curve today in the silent study area and the employees chose 11 am in the morning to dissemble chairs desks and hubs. In addition, they also made the decision to take loud phone calls in the middle of the library. Normally the area is conducive to studying but I didn't understand why they could not do this in the times that the library is closed (after 5PM).
