For reasons | For reasons unknown, there is no online information about the cost of parking at Queensland State Library (there are a series of WWW links that ultimately do not reach the information!). However, as at April 2008, the carpark underneath the library costs $12 per entry (that is, whether you stay for 1 minute or all day). There are two other nearby carparks also run by the state government (under the Art Gallery/Museum and under the Queensland Performing Art Centre) with the same prices. Generally there is a person in a booth to take your money but at quiet times you may need to use the machine which takes coins, notes or credit cards. The area is very well-served by public transport (train, bus and ferry) -- see [http://www.translink.com.au/ TransLink] for timetables. | ||
Following the redevelopment of the library, the old cafeteria has been replaced by a privately-operated coffee shop. Some library users have complained about having to pay higher prices for fancier food so check the menu and prices before you order! There are other cheaper cafes and takeaways if you walk back towards the Southbank area. There are plenty of pleasant spots outside the library with fabulous river views where you can eat if you choose to bring a picnic lunch. | Following the redevelopment of the library, the old cafeteria has been replaced by a privately-operated coffee shop.
