I love the library, l use to use it all the while, but then l became housebound, just phoned and asked if my son could pick some books for me, .They said yes, how good is that for service. ItsI a good place for peace and quite while you work on computers as well. If you need help they are there for you. Brilliant!

The Pork Pie library was built in 1939. It is a Grade II listed building, which was originally designed by local architectsSymington Prince and Pyke, it bears a striking resemblance to the St Barnabas Road library in Leicester. Both buildings were thought to have been influenced by the Central Library in Stockholm and Arnos Green Tube Station in London.My memories of it stem from living nearby, down the Wigston Lane and walking up the hill to borrow and return books in the 1950s.

The staff and facilities are superb but myself and 2 other users bemoan the depressing atmosphere as a result of there being so much empty space and not enough books.The librarians should have classical music playing in the background to provide a semblance of ambience!

Been a regular at the library for years. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.They have a wide selection of audio books.
