We stopped here to do family research. The have excellent records on the area. The staff was very helpful locating family records that we were searching for. They also provided additional places that we should visit that would have even more information.

On each occasion we have visited the library, thus meeting many members of staff, the service and attention we received were second to non.

We went in to see the WW1 letters and post cards and were not disappointed. The library is an incredible building, very architecturally pleasing with huge stained glass windows. Staff are very nice as well, friendly and smiling :)

A great library in a good location. My oldest is 9 and has been going to the library for story time since she was 8 months old. Brilliant for kids with computers and cushions in the children's library.

The wonderful staff at the Carnegie Library assisted me in my family history research before and during my visit to Ayr. Everyone was so accommodating and helpful. Thank you so much!

We used the computers at Ayr library to check emails etc and pay some on line bills. You can access 2 hours on the computers daily free of charge. We also used the local history reference section to research the area to plan our 'what to see' activities (sadly we found in Scotland that the Tourist info centers seem to be more of an advertising enterprise rather than providing good info like they used to). Staff where very helpful and the building itself is beautiful.

I've frequented Carnegies IT suite on a few occasions now to get assistance scanning docs and emailing them to prospective employers. The staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. A brilliant service!

Ancient building and mostly well maintained. No chance of getting lost and well signed to explain different areas and services offered. Sadly the days of being quiet in the library are long gone with the staff being the worst culprits although only doing the job. No Cafe.

Love this lovely old building full of character and books. Staff are extremely helpful if you want to order books or DVD there is no charge for ordering books

An excellent source of local information with friendly and helpful staff - computer access to let you access the web for further information, and a great selection of books to choose from. This is a great place to spend a few hours, even if it isn't raining outside.

The staff was helpful - it was our first stop for research. Ian from Stewarton (the attendant at the desk) was full-on into helping us. He found an 1800's newspaper ad - back to when our descendents left Scotland for the U.S. - that helped explain why they may have wanted to leave. The library building inside was quite beautiful. I have great photos of wonderful stained glass to illustrate the Carnegie influence but TripAdvisor doesn't allow for uploading photos of this type of property :-(

Was told about this library at the B & B where we stayed. We walked over one morning and the ladies on the second floor were so helpful. They helped me at a computer and actually got me some family info I'd been searching for for years. I now have my Scotlands People card so I can research from home. They were so very helpful.

Fantastic place for book worms, lots of great books. Choose from fiction, non-fiction, adult or childrens books. Please be quiet when you enter. If you would like to visit this library there is a car park very close by, and there are lots of nearby shops to cater for all your needs. Fantastic place for book worms, lots of great books.

We took the kids in and they enjoyed finding some interesting books which were in good condition.
