Very friendly staff, willing to help, lots of resources for anything from family history to hikes around the UK, lots of places to sit down and also lots of computers. The cafe also has fairly priced, delicious food and drink. There is also a gift shop with some local branded merchandise, great for sanddancers alike. There are telescopes on the viewing platform above to view the ships entering and leaving, there is an elevator so it is very wheelchair accessible. There is also an interactive table that has lots of photos of South Shields, a few quizzes and facts about lots of different things like space, overall lots of fun to be had within the library and lots of knowledge for researching a wide range of topics.
Very friendly and welcoming, my wife and I visited today for a quick bite to eat. Soup of the day, coffee, teacake and scones. Very enjoyable and good value. Would highly recommend The Word. Great library too!
