Rhiwbina and other local hubs are among the most popular among adult and child users, according to survey results released by Cardiff Council.
When asked which library or hub they are likely to use most often, Central Library Hub was the most popular answer among adults, with Llanishen second, and Whitchurch third. Other top-rated North Cardiff hubs were Llandaff North & Gabalfa in fourth and Rhiwbina sixth. Rhydypennau placed eighth, Radyr 12th, and Tongwynlais 22nd.
Among children, Llanishen placed top and Rhiwbina second, with Radyr equal fourth, Llandaff North & Gabalfa equal eighth, Rhydypennau equal 10th, Whitchurch 17th, and Tongwynlais equal 18th.
More than two million visits were made to Cardiff hubs and libraries last year, a council strategy shows.
Almost 16,000 new members joined the city's library service, 1.9m book loans were issued, more than 78,000 new books were bought and 175,000 children and adults attended events in hubs and libraries in 2023/24.
More than £20m in previously unclaimed benefits and more than £1m of one-off payments were identified by the advice team supporting citizens in the city, some 6,607 people attended training sessions and more than 105,000 people received support from the Into Work Service in hubs and libraries.
Of those surveyed, 96% said the hub met their requirements and 97% were satisfied with hub staff.
The council's Hubs and Libraries Strategy 2024-29, which will be considered by the council's cabinet on Thursday (20 March), sets out the vision for hubs and libraries to deliver high quality services and support to meet the needs of each community.
Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities, Cllr Lee Bridgeman, said: "Our hubs and libraries are very popular in the communities so it's been important to listen to people's views about what they want to see us deliver in their local facilities.
"We're grateful to everyone who took part in the consultation about our services, particularly our younger customers who had the chance to have their say. Their views have helped shape the key aims that underpin this new strategy on how we plan to continue to provide vital services to communities over the next few years."
