Every year thousands of students spend hours and hours holed up and hibernating in libraries across NSW studying for their HSC. Whilst libraries are a fantastic place for students to study, we are all probably aware some are better than others!
Serious hard-core study requires the right environment – you want to avoid the crowds, the noisy kids running around, find a comfy lounge and be free from distractions just to name a few requirements – essentially you need to choose the right location and the right library for study success!

Library Review
| Feature | Review |
|---|---|
| Facilities? | *Free WiFi *Public access computers |
| Specific services for HSC students? | None |
| Pros? | *It’s well situated for some people, being only a 3 minute walk to the train station and buses. *There is also of plenty of books to relax with if the student needs a break. |
| Cons? | *The library is extremely noisy, due to children running around constantly. Coupled with that is the fact that it is right next to a child centre, making it difficult to keep the noise levels low. This can make it hard to study. *Another problem is that its a very small library, and as such can be a bit cramped when it gets a bit busy. Surprisingly, quite a few students enjoy coming to this library, but only seem to do so, to chill out. Staff can get very unfriendly because of this and the amount of children. |
| Best place in the library to study? | *In all honesty we would suggest outside the library, as you do not hear the children being loud inside. Can be distracting to those who don't listen to music while studying. *If a person does want to study inside, there are smaller, more secluded areas to the side of the library. |
| Overall rating? | 3/10 |
Our top tip: If you study at Carlingford Library, (which you shouldn’t), you will have to deal with a bunch of small children running around and being loud.
