joan 880 Posted March 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Does the library have a good selection of new fiction novels? Since it is now part of a tea Room, it doesn't sound like it would be very large. We are use to sailing on Holland which Has an extensive library with big leather chairs and large print book sections,etc. would rather not bring books if the library has some decent ones to read. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted March 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I don't recall the library on the Grand as being very large. If there have been changes I doubt it got bigger. I take electronic books on my phone and/or tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted March 27, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Typically the libraries on Princess ships do not have much of a selection of new books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted March 27, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2016 The Grand Library has more books than other Princess ships that have the library and internet combined. Not sure if the Grand has large print like Holland does. Don't think any of the Princess libraries compare to the Holland ships that have the big libraries.

Roatanfans Posted March 28, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I remember the Grand's library as pretty unimpressive if you are looking for a book to read- I would plan to bring my own reading material if I were you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiahFly Posted March 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 28, 2016 When I was on the Grand, the "library" seemed so insignificant that one would miss it if you didn't know it was there. Better off taking your own books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted March 28, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) It's across from the Crown Grill. Has table and chairs. Don't get the tea there at tea time, they charge. Free in dining room at tea time plus more food. Edited March 28, 2016 by Belle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 28, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2016 As a library, the one on the Grand is not impressive. The only Princess ship with a decent library is the Pacific Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about Island now, but Coral and Island were outstanding, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joan 880 Posted March 29, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It sounds as if we are bringing our reading material on board with us. Thank you all For your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted March 29, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 29, 2016 As a library, the one on the Grand is not impressive. Are you referring to the current library which is part of the Leaves tea room or the former library which was in a small room by itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted March 29, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Does the library have a good selection of new fiction novels? With the advent of tablets that have the capacity to hold many books, the use of libraries on cruise ships has declined as many passengers bring their Nooks, Kindles, etc. with them. But even before then, Princess libraries had essentially no recent books, fiction or non-fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
