Northern Aurora Posted September 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2022 It has been awhile since we have been on the Equinox, but I have found that libraries still exist on S-class ships since they are in space off of the central elevator bank. Hopefully someone will confirm regarding the Equinox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge56 Posted September 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2022 The library still exists on Equinox and has books in a number of languages. I walked through it to get to my room after dinner tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineoclock Posted September 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I loved the library space on Equinox - such a peaceful place to sit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted September 6, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2022 On our last few cruises the library has been there but the selection was slim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted September 6, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Love the library space on Equinox. Library on Silhoutte may have been turned into interior cabins during "revolution". Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have, however, apparently stopped stocking the library with new books so the selection on most ships is pretty slim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted September 6, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Glad to know Silly still has a library. I bring my own books, but it is a great place to read. A few months ago I was lucky enough to spot a book I had never read by a very popular author. Certainly don't count on that happening again any time soon!

mkblinzler Posted September 15, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I bring my own books also but if I finish a book I will put it in the ship library for anyone else who wants to read it. Maybe I should throw a few in my bag that need to be donated and drop them off at the library so someone can enjoy them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way everyone gets to bring a couple of books & there will easily be 10 books to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexmiller Posted September 16, 2022 #14 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Glad that the S class ships still have the libraries but the M class ships have lost theirs - although I assume the Infinity still has her library since she has not yet been renovated. Edge class ships were built without libraries as so many people use electronic readers - however, there are a lot of us who do prefer the feel of paper, and last I saw, there were portable book carts in Eden filled with books passengers have left to trade, like one of the "free libraries" people have installed in their front yards😄. And on the M class ships, several of the wall cubbies in the Rendezvous lounge have been given over to passenger book trade areas. Although I always bring books with me, sometimes I blow through them more quickly than I'd planned so the on-board libraries, even the teensy book carts or wall cubbies, are very welcome.

GORDONCHICK Posted September 16, 2022 #16 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I may have to go through my boxes of books and pack some to donate! We always take our own books, and I can and do read just about anywhere. But my husband loves to read very early in the morning in the library.
