Summit library

[DonnaK]

Where is the library on the Summit? Is there an attendant? How is the selection of books? Does the library have a shelf where people can take/leave paperbacks?

[cruisestitch]

All ship libraries are hit or miss. The selection may be great or terrible. There is no attendant. There should be a "take a book, leave a book" area.

Hit and miss is courteous. The library is take-a-book, take-a-book. We bring extra just to leave, but to no avail. By second of b2b they are all gone with nothing new. Always have to leave signed copy of a certain book.

The library is located midship. I think it's deck 8 and is called "Words" on your deck plan.

It runs on the honor program. It's hit or miss when it comes to your favorite volumes.

I would not rely on the ship's library collection, which seems to keep dwindling with each cruise as more and more people are turning to e-books these days.

 

If there is a book you really want to read on a cruise, it would be a good idea to bring your own copy.

 

If an extensive library with a librarian is an important cruise ship feature for you, I would suggest Holland America.

Thanks for all the replies.

 

I will bring books to read, along with some extras to leave in the library.

If you take a book and enjoy reading on the balcony at night be sure to have a book light because the balcony lights if they have them don't operate after certain hour.

 

If you have a E reader you will also need a light unless it is back lite.

Hi...I want to say the library is on deck 7 or 8?.......I was on Summit

earlier this month and I know I passed by it several times. My cabin

was on 8 and maybe that is why I noticed it?...if I was on the mid-ship

elevators the library is right there.

Deck 8 and 9, we think.
