    There isn't much available in Hemet, and this public library is a good resource for child-friendly…read moreprogramming on Wednesdays. I can't speak to any of the other resources as I haven't used them. However, the way the staff treat the people in the library leaves a lot to be desired, hence my 2-star review. Although the publicly posted hours state they close at 6 pm, beginning at 5:30 pm, there is an aggressive push to get everyone out of the library, with constant announcements over the loudspeaker, security guard patrolling the study areas, and the librarians also coming around and reminding everyone to leave by 5:45 pm. At 5:35 pm, I was told that if I didn't leave by 5:45 pm I would be locked in the library with my child overnight. I stated the library closes at 6 pm, and we will be gone well before that time. At 5:55 pm, as we were leaving, the security guard and the librarian came over to tell us we were there past closing. They definitely scared my child into thinking that would happen. Woof. The overbearing staff is a bit much. But if anyone is down for a sleepover in the library, it's me!!

    This is a pretty great library. The staff is so nice and helpful here. The kids area always has…read moresome craft going on. There's a big selection of books to choose from. The bathrooms are clean. You can get your passports here too. They have so many books in Spanish for kids as well. I see no reason to complain and nothing wrong with this place. We love Hemet public library !

    The library is pretty nice and has plenty of space to do work or homework. However, from my own…read morepersonal experience, there were several times when the wifi does not connect. I've used different laptops, thinking it was my personal one that was having issues, but I faced the same issue of sometimes having the wifi connect or running into "no connection". I escalated the issue to the front desk clerk numerous times, explaining the issue, and they responded that it sometimes happens depending on the laptop. If this is a recurring issue that other patrons have presented, it is rather disappointing that there has been no action. I would suggest having IT be present or train the clerks on how to resolve the issue, rather than continuously brushing it off. Overall, I really do enjoy the space and believe it is a wonderful addition to Redlands. I just hope they are able to resolve the wifi connection because it can be rather frustrating.

They offer different events, make sure to check out their websites and Instagram! I appreciate the people here, the building, and the architecture. It reminds me of the Harry Potter world and I even found Dobby inside!

As of June they have reopened their doors. Note they have changed phone numbers too! The one on Yelp is correct, google is still being updated. (951) 654-4470 is the number you want to call. Being new in town, I went in looking for books for toddlers and a summer program and just like any library they had both. The girls at the desk were friendly and helpful. If you're applying for a new library card, bring ID and proof of address if you haven't updated address on ID. They will take an utility bill. Simple. Check done The selection of books here is fair, dvds not so much. Books vary on subjects and some in Spanish too. You do have to consider is fairly small library. Don't expect to find every single book in mind. But nonetheless don't feel limited to only space and books found here. Being a county library, you can order books from any library to be brought here and simply pick up once items arrive. If you're looking for a room full of computers, that's not the case here. They have about 4-5 computers with access to the internet. Printing black and white is .15 cents and color is .65 cents a page. They have space designated for kids which is nice and clean but in my humble opinion should be stocked a bit more. Overall this library is small and would love for the city to consider expanding it in a near future as the size of the library compared to all the households in San Jacinto is not proportional.
