Are there any visually appealing libraries nearby?

Other than the State Library and the City of Sydney branches (Green Square, Darling Quarter etc), anyone know of any other aesthetic local council libraries, university libraries open to the public or… more

The UNSW library in Kensington is pretty striking, architecturally. Worth a look if you're that way inclined. Might not be "humble and understated," though. More… imposing.

That's a good point! I hadn't thought of the UNSW library – I always associate it with frantic exam cramming, not aesthetics. But you're right, it is quite a building. Imposing is a good word for it. Maybe a bit too much for a relaxing read, though? I prefer something a little less…monumental.

Maybe it's just a case of inconsistent management across different locations. A busy Saturday night in a high-profile restaurant near the kitchen... yeah, that sounds like a recipe for disaster. It wasn't just your bad luck; it's possible they're chronically understaffed. Shame, as the food's usually pretty good.
