My line manager recommended that I visit Peckham library, as a new library in a deprived area, so that I could reflect upon how they reach their target market (which is similar to our target market).
I took this photo as I approached the building, which certainly stands out! I'm not sure how well this style of building will 'age', as I don't exactly feel it is beautiful, but time will tell!
They use a lot of front facing books, in the same way that I try to.
It felt a little like they had spent so much on the actual building, they didn't have much left for the interior. It felt very much like any other library I have visited in the last 20 years.
It was busy, so I tried to notice how people were using the space. Many of the tables had people working on their laptops, with some people reading.
The children's library was sectioned off in a glass-walled room, so the noise didn't infiltrate the rest of the library.
