Chaat-a-box - Epsom and Ewell

Now reopened after Covid19 lockdown. The returned books are quarantined, and you sanitise your hands. Friendly assistants will help you locate books. Adjacent cafe not open.

I have been a member of this library since my trip to Epsom in 2001. They have recently computerized their system, allowing for easy book check-in and check-out. The library staff is readily available to assist when needed. In addition to a wide selection of books, there is a designated children's area for storytelling, computer terminals for printing, and an information desk outside the library. There are also information booths and seating areas where patrons can enjoy a coffee or something to eat from the café next door. My favorite dish to order is the cheese omelet with salad and chips, as it is very filling.

This restaurant has excellent service with friendly and helpful staff. They have a variety of computers available for use, with printing services if needed (for a fee). Additionally, there is a wide selection of books and DVDs, including a section for children.

This library is excellent. It amuses me to see how many people complain about the noise of children. A library is a family-friendly environment that is open to all. The notion that libraries should remain silent is very outdated.

This restaurant is extremely loud with toddlers running around. It would be beneficial to have a separate designated area for them.
