It's a nice cute small library but I'm not sure if libraries have changed since when I used to go…read morebut everyone including the libraries here are just talking at full volume, people are talking on their phones, some were even blasting music loudly on their headphones to the point where I could hear them 10 feet+ away. It's not a great place to study or focus but if you're just looking for a place to hang out it's great.

Since the fire and re-opening the library still attracts people to come inside to check out books, studied, or nap (I seen someone catching up sleep but dare not to snore). The librarian was polite on informing what been going on with the library since it re-opening. I was informed about events the library are holding. I have one good question: why is this the only library that provides ear plugs?

I mean doing things digitally is convenient, but some things require a more tactile approach. That's why when Kensington Library was closed for months on end I missed my ability to thumb through the latest People magazine, browse the DVD collection, or ask the staff to hold a particular book that I was unwilling to buy on Amazon. Yep, going to the library post-COVID, whenever or whatever that looks like, is not to be taken for granted again. RELATED - Exploring this part of Contra Costa County?

On Thankful Thursday, 11/20/25, I have to reflect on all the libraries of my past that made me into…read morethe successful broadly educated person that I am today. Instead of doing a review for each library since it's been a period of time and changes obviously occur I am mentioning libraries I found useful in my growing up and college education process. Growing up I lived in El Cerrito and it was a comfortable walk with my mom and sometimes a sister or two to visit the El Cerrito Library. We each had our own library card and would pick out two or three books to check out. My favorite section the children's books. On occasion our family would visit the Richmond library for which my parents had a library card. My memories serve me that the Richmond library had records and movies that could be checked out. I browsed the books but rarely asked for one to be checked out for me. I did make requests for records that may not have been my parents choice. Once in college I became well versed at the Berkeley Main Library, the North Berkeley library, the University of California Berkeley library, the Boalt Hall Legal library, and the Contra Costa Court Reference library. I even spent hours in Sacramento at CSUS library. You probably can guess I was in need of all sorts of legal reference books to excel in classes, write briefs and papers. My thanks to each and every library as I passed all my law classes with straight A's. I have no idea of the quality of these libraries currently but I am THANKFUL that in the early 1970's all of these libraries allowed me access and were the quality that I depended upon.

What a special place. I haven't thought about family library events until recently after a few…read morefriends began sending me events happening in the area. We attended a Firefighter Storytelling Hour and it was so much fun. A few members of the local Fire Department came out on a weekend morning and introduced themselves, read a story, and we all sang "The Wheels on the Fire Truck". After, everyone had the opportunity to see/touch/take photos/and go into the truck with their respective groups. A wonderful start to the day. Checking out ccclib.org, you can categorize the library locations to find upcoming events/times. Today for example, there's a Therapy Dogs for Grown Ups hour. How fun! The staff is so friendly and there's lotsa parking/accessibility. Have you been to a recent event at the library worth sharing about? Would love to hear more as I begin this new quest of family fun!
