We go every week with my son who is 9 months old and he loves the space in the children's library and the comfy rocking chairs. Great activities for children of all ages. Great range of books for him.



As an adult user this has been a fabulous resource. Used as a student and member of the public. Choice of textbooks and availability brilliant. The choice of fiction is worth the visit alone. Very often get new books from there. We can easily spend a whole day there. And the some of the staff know my son by name and greet him�Great customer service...I could go on. It's our favourite place to go in the city.

We at Worcester TheatreMakers are delighted to work here every Saturday running our drama workshops. The staff are always kind and helpful and the facilities are superb.

Visited today with 6 children aged 3-6... Really brilliant morning! The staff were fantastic & couldn't have been more welcoming & helpful - thank you.

The Hives is a state of the art library. I love studying there as I will always get help from the staff.

The Hive is awesome. The only let down was when someone nicked all the Games Workshop books, must've been desperate for those Warhammer yarns. Think they've replaced them now, though. It is top.

Just had a fantastic morning at the hive doing the traveller trail, listening to Romany traveller stories and of course reading a few books. So lucky to have this on worcester.

I'm relatively new to Worcester and on a whim thought I would pop in to the library on Saturday with my 4 year old to take a look at a couple of books...two hours later...eight books under our arms I was dragging her away.

What an absolutely amazing place. Great / vast selection of books, chill out spaces to encourage excitement in reading and NOT a librarian in sight with a frown at the ready or pursed lips ready to say... shhhhhh, in fact quite the opposite.

Great place, great people just simply amazing.

Thankyou to all that work there and the great inspiration that created such a fantastic place.

I'm really new to Worcester so I don't really know anyone here. I have just had a baby 3 weeks ago and have been going to 'baby bounce' and 'baby latte' which have been fantastic. I have met other mums and also got invaluable advise from Janet who runs the 'baby latte' breastfeeding group. The Hive is a fantastic place to meet people or just chill with a coffee in a relaxed atmosphere.

I love The Hive, we moved here from London about a month ago and i'm sure i've spent half my time here. My 2 year old book worm absolutely loves the humongous range of children's books, she loves running round and playing on the rocking chairs and the those lovely little reading nooks. We both love all the events that they run as well.

I like doing work there as there are plentiful places to work in peace, the resources are fantastic and the cafe is really lovely and very reasonably priced.

Highly recommend.

I have used The Hive as a UoW student for a couple of years and I love it. Brilliant selection of literature, helpful staff, comfortable seating and a good number of PCs. It's nice and quiet, which is good when you're studying, but it feels relaxed and quite homely. I like the fact you can eat and drink there too. Good views and fabulous architecture. All in all a brilliant place to be.

Hollie McNish was fricking AMAZING! She was warm, funny and breathtaking in her delivery of her wonderful poetry that really struck a chord with all of us. Fantastic evening - thank you

Great library for academic study as well as an excellent archive service. I rate it very highly.

Great building, staff & service...

First visit to The Hive and I was so impressed. Not been in a library since Foregate Street. Very easy to join, helpful staff, nice coffee area and using computer was fantastic. Only saw level one and looking forward to a further look round.

Fantastic service from the local history team yesterday afternoon. Very kind and helpful. Thank you.

Books! Happy National Library day... The best place to be, a second home indeed that has everything one can wish and brilliant staff! Thanks ... At a point, my everyday spot!

A great library a huge range of books of course. Very friendly and dynamic staff . very user friendly environment.

The hive is a great place, the staff are so good helpful and friendly.

Been going for a few years now, do get some fools in there but they soon get sorted out by the good staff.

I want to thank them for all the help they give me and nothing is hard for them.

kicked me out for talking even though there no one around me banned me for 7 days because i arguied so you carnt even have a say fucking disgrace
