+  en: This library is right outside of the Chatswood station and the area is full of Asian restaurants and big malls. There are plenty of tables and chairs around but during the day, most of the seats are taken by the local highschool students (edit - I realized it's exam week when I went). There are quite a few kids who are casually chatting but not in a loud manner. There is a glassed corner near the entrance where you would be slightly more comfortable taking calls. Also, if you need 100% privacy and quietness, they have one bookable phone booth. It is free for the library members but it would cost you $2.50 / 30 mins if you are not a member. You can talk to the staff to book a spot.

 review:
   en: This library is located right in front of the Circular Quay station and wharf, so the access using public transport is great. The reading rooms are full of workers and students but it is a quiet room so if you have to take calls, you have to move to the common space where there are couple of sofas but not desks and tables. The reading room also doesn't have power outlets so you have to bring a mobile battery for longer hours.

+  en: This library is filled with highschool kids and college students who are studying / nomad workers. The google review says it's not a good library but for sure it is a great spot to get things done :) The desks were available in the morning but quickly fills up in the afternoon. There are plenty of outlets even with direct USB-A and C sockets next to it. The downstairs is a food hall where you can grab some Chinese or other Asian food. The square in front of it is clean and beautiful too.

   en: This library has plenty of seats and outlets to choose from. There are quite a few people working with their laptops open so seems like a normal thing to do. Wifi is not the fastest but stable. One thing that was annoying is that they probably block ports other than 80 or 443, so you can't SSH, connect to Postgresql DB, connecting to VPN, etc. For taking calls, if you go towards the kids area, you might feel more comfortable talking since there are kids who are also loud. However, there are signs that says no loud talking on the phone so not the best place when you have a day full of meetings. The out door benches are also available and the wifi speed doesn't drop too much even if you're seated outside. There's a supermarket right next to it so you can go grab some drinks if you need any. Edit - I could bypass the restriction by using Obfuscated Servers with Open VPN (TCP) protocol on NordVPN.
