Review: Wellington City Library
Thanks to Sally from Wellington for this review!
The best accessible establishment is the Wellington City Library/Civic Square in Wellington. There are numerous designated disability carparks located in front and to the side street of the library, and in the library’s basement carpark. You never have to travel far from the car to the library or the Square. Two sets of lifts take you quickly to any of the three floors of the library and a lovely little cafe which sells the most delicious food. The library is well set out, wheelchairs can move around the library with ease. Many of the computers are set up on low level desk and are easily accessible.
The accessibilty of ramps around the Civic Square adjoining the library is great as it means wheelchair users can attend many of the wonderful events that take place at the Civic Square. The bathrooms in the Square are wheelchair accessible – the basins are set are low, plus the main front door is always open so there is no struggling with having to open doors. On a sunny lunch time afternoon, if the mood strikes you, you can go along one of the numerous ramps to the serene waterfront, the park, the national museum, or catch a show at the local theatre.
