As a newbie to Adelaide I have been having a busy time enjoying everything Adelaide has to offer. One of the best things I have done so far though is to join several local libraries, which can actually be a destination in themselves. You'll find one in every city council, but where can you find Adelaide's best library?



Libraries are not only great places to borrow books and DVDs, but libraries of today are real community hubs incorporating resource rooms, IT facilities and great events that are mostly free. If you've got kids you might know a great toy library, or maybe you've found one with great internet facilities.

Campbelltown Library has a good selection of books and DVDs. There are many computers for surfing, and some great relaxation areas as well. You can even 'borrow' an ipad to use within the library. One of the best parts of the library is the childrens book area, where an enormous tree is incorporated into the design of the room complete with interactive with light features for story time. Lots of other kids programmes are run in this area as well including 'Wriggle and Giggle' which is a rhyme time group for babies and toddlers. So if you've got young kids perhaps Campbelltown is the library for you.



Burnside Library is incoroprated into the Burnside council complex, which is handy if you need to pay your council rates or have a document witnessed by a Justice of the Peace. Burnside Library has an excellent selection of books including lots of new arrivals and some great areas where you can read or leaf through magazines. There is free public wifi throughout the building which you can log into once you join up, not to mention a great little cafe where you can get a cup of coffee after all that reading. You can also check out the notice board for a range of community events. If you like being close to shops or a cafe, then Burnside Library might be your top pick.

So, you can see that libraries have changed from the boring, quiet places that they used to be and are now lively spaces that are a pleasure to visit. So let us know which library you think is the best, as we begin looking for Adelaide's best library.
