    I love the tall shelves.
    Sarah G.

    I couldn't have asked for better service. It was a super quiet Saturday in the library, so I felt extra taken care of by their staff. Note: the current main picture (elegant, white building) on this page may not be of this location. This library is a boring, brown, 1-story building, as shown in another photo. Yelp is featuring the wrong photo lol. This is a City library as opposed to a County one. You will need a separate library card for city/county as they are not related. I also registered for computer access, which may come in handy some day. I came in for a specific book I found they had on their website but it was only available as a Reference, not to check out. I sat in the library to gather knowledge from this book and enjoyed the spaciousness. There are not as many study tables as could probably fit on their floor. The topmost bookshelves are super high up for a person of my 5'3" stature. Their Reference section is actually quite large for a smallish library. At the check out counter is a basket of coupons for groceries if you'd like to take some. They also offer free parking passes for CA state parks. This was a very pleasant experience.

    Is it me at the library

From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by gorgeous stained glass windows and thoughtful touches everywhere you look. There are several inviting reading and learning rooms, plus a dedicated children's section that's perfect for little ones. Outside, there's a small but lovely garden with plenty of seating; ideal for enjoying a book on a nice day. I especially loved discovering the board where anyone can post a book review. It's a great way to engage with fellow readers and get new recommendations. My husband and I make it a point to support local businesses and community resources when we travel; signing up for a library card and following their event calendar is one way we connect with each new place. This library is truly a treasure, and we highly recommend stopping by whether you're a resident or just passing through!

My fiancé loved how busy the library and gardens were just at 10am opening time, seats filled, people typing away with their morning coffee planning their day out. I saw how the library assisted people from all words of ages and backgrounds, especially children and I look forward to bringing my family to this library. This would be my home library.

The space is bright, organized, and thoughtfully designed and every section feels purposeful, from the cozy reading nooks to the tech-friendly study tables. One thing that I find here that is truly awesome is their bookstore. For me, I've bought several books here that I used for scraping in my travels and I absolutely love coming here to buy books for cheap that I will just end up scrapping. You'll find most books are no more than one dollar and amongst all the local public library bookstores that are offered, I have found this one, the largest and the cheap cheapest. Love it! Just be mindful, they only accept cash when making payments. In addition, you can print things out, but you will have to pay using cash only. The library also offers great programs with creative workshops that make it more than just a place for books, but a true community hub. You can find a monthly calendar located inside of different events that are ongoing. Parking can be very hard here when busy. I haven't figured out why they haven't opened the parking structure that's adjacent to it. It's been sitting empty for a months now. I always dread when I'm gonna be going to the library because parking is very hard here so just be prepared spaces are limited. It's one of those rare places where you can slow down, think clearly, and leave feeling just a little bit better than when you walked in. Bathrooms super clean!
