I personally like that they have a laptop lounge with an ample amount of plugs.

One of my favorite study spots!…read more The children activities can get noisy, but if you sit upstairs in the designated quiet area with a pair of noise canceling headphones, it's a perfect place to get work done. The natural light coming from the large windows makes long study days feel less confining. I feel comfortable leaving my belongings at my table while I use the restroom. It's a risk to take unless you ask one of the many kind people around to watch your stuff. There are also study rooms for rent. I haven't used them, but I'm happy to have the option. The parking lot can get packed quick due to the fitness center, nearby parks, and other library goers.

This is a nice, little, two-story library we regularly visit with our kiddo that is bright with…read morenatural light. It has seating nooks & a life-sized fake tree in the kids section that adds whimsy. STEAM bins can be checked out for in-library use. They also have sensory kits, adventure packs, & storytime kits available. An arts & crafts table offers changing simple activities like coloring. Though some of the seating is worn, the space always seems tidy. Staff at the front desk are welcoming, friendly, approachable, & helpful. The DIY check out & return systems are convenient & user friendly. There is a section of books & media for purchase. It's located at Mahany Park, next door to the Utility Exploration Center, which expands a nice family experience. There's plenty of parking for everyone using all the other parks & recreation facilities in the complex as well.

Public libraries are a gem in our society. Where else could you borrow tons of books and leave with…read morethem for free! The library is a place for more than just books! Events, classes, and more can be found here for free as well. Not into books? You can check out Blu-ray or DVD movies as well! The kids side of the library can be loud (it's on the left as you walk in). If you want quiet you should head off to the right. You don't need to wander far to find a quiet desk or table. The only thing I wish our Library had more of was parking. During events or busy days the parking lot fills up very quickly and you can find yourself circling for a while. The street parking is limited as well. I'd definitely walk, but we live to far away.

A good library, it looks to be older on the outside, but the inside is still pretty new looking…read more Maybe they updated it or something. This library is open everyday, so that's nice b/c none of the Sac Public Libraries is open on Sundays or Mondays. I can't believe this one is open even on Sundays, great for kids to hang out on a lazy Sunday afternoon. As I entered, there's the kids' area on the left side, it's like a separate wing altogether and it's nice and colorful in there. It's really big too, so kids must really enjoy that space and I saw quite a few kids there on a late weekday afternoon, maybe cuz it's summer time. Lots of kids books on shorter shelves and several kids' computers w/preloaded software for them. Back towards the entrance of the library you'll find the info/front desk where the librarians and assistants are available to help you find books etc. Then there's shelves of books and towards the back of the library, but still in the middle as you look in, there's a friends of the library book sale and an area where you can eat and there are a couple of vending machines so you can buy a snack and drink. There's even a charging stand with multiple cords for different phones if you need to recharge your phone. The right side of the library is where teens and adults sections are and there's a dedicated teens room, and a couple of study rooms as well as a huge and really nice study room named after some lady who's a local person of importance and the room is filled with old books and is pretty amazing to study in although it was kind of hot and stuffy in there so I just peeked in and didn't stay. Finally, towards the far right side of the library are all the circulating movie and TV DVDs and there were a ton compared to other libraries I've seen as well as CDs which interesting, is still popular here. And lots of seating and reading loungers, but mostly desk and chairs for studying. All in all this is a pretty nice and big library, older, but well-kept.

I was impressed by their children's area!! Gorgeous story mural, fun pirate theme with a life size mermaid and pirate! Lot of books and a big indoor play area!! Our toddler had a blast in their play kitchen with other kids, putting together age-appropriate puzzles, playing with transparent tiles, stuffies, dinosaurs and more! They have great summer reading challenges for kids! For example 1,000 books before Kindergarten. Your child places a spaceship on the library wall to track their progress and earns prizes along the way! if we were residents, we would sign up! I would definitely recommend stopping by and checking out this popular library! Your kids will thank you and the staff are really sweet and welcoming! SYOY! :-)

Five stars for customer service…read more I came to print an email attachment. 10 cents a page for black and white prints. Plenty of computers, internet, sections for kids (activities too). Internet computer use is limited to 1 hour. I didn't look at the book selection that closely but the library itself looks great for studying.

Its easy online now to look up a book and put a hold on a title you are looking for from any library in the system.

Visited September 18th in Oroville…read more This is my first time here and I needed a quiet place to do some paperwork. I noticed they had several computers as well as printers to use. They have a children's room towards the back and the place was clean except for the ladies bathroom that wreaked of Marijuana! I liked that they had a security guard on duty as there is times when I have drove by and saw some homeless people hanging outside. The staff was helpful and polite. They had alot of books to choose from and some people were even playing chess! Plenty of quiet areas to sit and do your homework or read a book! Plenty of parking and I got my paperwork done without distractions!

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." - William Edward Hickson…read more According to the classic 1836 poem by William Edward Hickson, being persistent is the key to mastering skills or finding new solutions to difficult problems. Well, doesn't exactly apply to me in this case here at the library, but we've tried coming here before and somehow it was always closed. Usually, it's because we forgot that it's a Monday or we were nearby on a minor holiday and forgot that the library is closed even for holidays where most people are working. In any case, this is one of the bigger and newer libraries in the Sac Public Library System and I finally made it to check it out. Pros: - big building. Inderkum High School is right next door, so it's probably place here to especially serve the students. - clean and well-maintained. I like the bright open environment. - lots of books, rows upon rows of book shelves filled. - kids area is sectioned off, safer for kids, maybe quieter for everyone else. - clean bathrooms, we felt they were safe enough for our kids to go by themselves. - big friends of the library bookstore that's actually its own space/room. Lots of nice used and even some new or like new books for very reasonable prices. Get one for yourself/your kids or as a gift. - tons of seating for reading. Comfy couches seats as well as serious study desks and chairs. - a couple of reservable (online) study (group, or self)/meeting rooms. Cons: - can get loud if nearby high school students come after school - can get loud in kids area during high traffic "toddler time" - not open, Monday or Sundays, to be expected though, across all of SPL All in all... Nice and quite new and worth a visit!

This is a pretty neat local library. They offer scheduled activities such as slime-making and other…read morehands-on events. These activities tend to draw a crowd, so it's best to arrive early if you plan to attend. On a typical day, the children's area is more contained and separated from the rest of the library, which helps minimize distractions. There is plenty of seating throughout the building, making it a great place to relax, study, or work, whether you're visiting with kids or on your own. They also have numerous tables and public computers available for use. You'll need a library card to check out materials, but signing up is free and can be done at the front desk. They also have games available for checkout. If you're looking for something specific, it's worth checking their website beforehand to see what's available. The library is clean, well-maintained, and the staff are friendly. One thing to note is that staff are not always nearby to address disruptive children, so keep that in mind. This wasn't our first visit, and it definitely won't be our last.
