Great place to study!…read more There are 3 floors but I get my steps in by walking up to the 3rd floor to sit down at one of the tables to get work done. I like this area because it is actually quiet and there are outlets right on the table. The wi fi is easy to access and is not slow. There are available study rooms to reserve. I would not suggest reserving one if you are looking for a quiet space (in case it does get loud in the main area) because the walls are thin and you can hear others speaking in the rooms next to you. I'd say that it is good to reserve for a group study session or if you need a whiteboard with the necessary dry erase markers. The location is really good because it's within walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants in case you need to grab a coffee before starting to study or need to take a break and get something to eat. There is plenty of parking in the parking garage!

Walking by the DVD section of the library always gives me flashbacks to the time when there was no…read moreNetflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc. I would come to the library to check out DVDs (first there were regular DVDs, then Blu-ray discs came out) and binge-watch them on my brand-new Blu-ray player. I thought I was cool. For some reason I was drawn to the piece of art at the end of the aisle on the wall. Someone had made little square origami pieces out of recycled comic-book pages, with a pebble in the middle of each square. What a creative idea that was. I don't talk to anyone because I do not have social skills. I was looking for a Harry Potter book, and the location pointed me to the first floor, where the children's books are (that was the only time I went into that section). I was never much of a reader. But within the last two years I have read so many books (30-40 books is a lot for me, okayyyy). Now I cannot go a day without reading a book. The restrooms are really clean--really, really clean. I used to dry my hands by waving them quickly through the air dryer. Now I go very slowly, as if my car is going through the last part of an automatic car wash, where the car moves slowly so the dryer can gently push the water away.

It was midway between cities, offered plenty of parking and a warm place in the "Friends of the Library" Bookstore for me to quietly evaluate a potential purchase. The staff was gracious in allowing us to do so at one of the tables. Beforehand as we waited for the seller to arrive, I saw a healthy buzz of activity with people arriving, returning books and using the library, many with littles in tow. As an avid reader, it felt good to see this. From my brief peek into the high ceiling main room, the library looked very comfortable. There's a small playground west of the library, but at the time of this review, was fenced off. Perhaps undergoing a refresh. Overall, a library with a pleasant vibe.

Through middle school, high school and even college. She's an avid reader so she loves this place!! She's also the reason I've been here multiple times, and yes, I do have a library card. Getting a library card is quick, easy, and free. Just fill out your info on the computers they have set up and they will give you a card. This place is large and spacious, plenty of places to sit and read, tables to work or study, and computers are available for use also. There is gift shop and cafe here along with conference rooms and very clean restrooms. There is also a second story here, like I said, very spacious!! So don't sleep on the San Leandro Public Library, if you do get a chance to go here, you will be pleasantly surprised!!

It was quiet when I was there, but you don't go to a library to make noise or listen to it. It seems like a newer building, at least that's my assumption dealing with them and it's nice. If I were on campus more, I'd have more to say about it, but from what I saw, it seemed pretty good.

The library is a bit older and is central to most of the campus. It has the same build style as the old Warren hall - which only becomes noteworthy as that tower was found to be seismically unfit. This can be unsettling if your sitting in the basement. Staff and librarians are helpful. Lots of enthusiasm and energy - they are in their element within the library walls. Quiet study spaces are possible to find as are group study rooms. Sure, there are some messy and noisy people around that can possibly be distracting but just move. There is enough space that your not confined to any one spot. Art work is present but you've got to be looking for it. There is a beautiful mural on the second floor by an incredible artist that graduated from CSUEB already many years back.

That is good.

Not to mention their teens and children's areas that are perfect for all age groups. The library especially is spacious and virtually meant for young children who want to roam around. Also for all the comic book lovers and enthusiasts, this library provides an enormous collection of comics with the likes of Garfield and Spider-Man from Marvel. What if you want to just borrow a movie to watch? Well, this library has a gigantic section full of movies! With fan-favorites such as the Tatanic and The Mask of Zorro to Batman Begins and Mary Poppins, this place has it all! All in all, it was a good visit and I enjoyed hanging out and relaxing with a book in one of the comfortable lounging chairs and also walking around to see what all this library has to offer. Check out my pictures to see how this library covers everybody for most everything you'd look for in a library, nice!

Mostly a meh kind of a library…read more Pros: - centrally located in Union City, serves the community well - kids section is nicely organized and used the small space well, colorful - lots of seating throughout despite how small the library is - teen section upstairs that exclusively for teens Cons: - old and kind of dusty and also musty smelling inside - really could use a general facelift/remodel/update - the noises and sounds really reverberate, making the whole library noisy, so the acoustics here aren't great - some of the chairs look too old and worn/dirty and could use some deep cleaning or replacing All in all, not a "bad" library, but pretty humdrum and nothing special.

Get yourself a library card to check out books, magazines, DVDs & I'm not sure exactly of what else. Some libraries offer check out of tools (if not the Manor branch, the Main library does! ie. stuff for camping trips). You can also rent out private study rooms for a certain amount of time. You can use their computers (forgot how long the time goes up to) & I also love that they allow free computer printing up to 20 pages. Make sure to keep track of your return date for items checked out. They have self check out machines- super easy, and have the clerks available to help you out if need be. Enjoy!

Went to Chabot for my son's AAU games and didn't see the 8x11 sign that said Head in Parking Only…read more The guy who is head of parking was rude when he approached me to tell me I couldn't back in when parking. I honestly said I didn't see the signs, and with an attitude he said there are 10 signs. Where I parked, none of the signs were near me. The nearest sign was about 25-30 yards away. My kids and I also walked to the main gym where they played their games before, and once again I was met by the head of parking. He aggressively told my boys they shouldn't be opening random doors looking for their games. I asked him, did I miss the signs again because this is where they played last time. He said no and said the games were in a different building. I said, to help everyone, signs would be helpful, this way he wouldn't be irritated telling other parents to look for the other gym. We walked over to building 2900 like he told us too, and he yelled at me, my sons and other parents from across the swimming pool, telling us we were using the wrong door. It could have helped if he told us where to go. The door we tried opening was directly under the 2900 sign. I yelled back at him saying we are at building 2900 like he instructed. He replied back we needed to walk around the building. When we finally found the entrance it was 2940. I found this gentleman, very rude and aggressive with his approach. I am not sure if this is how Chabot wants to be represented to people in the community visiting. if any staff member is reading this, the gentleman I am talking about is a large heavy set African American who identifies himself as the head of parking and he drives a gray Infiniti SUV. Even if he is not part of Chabot College, simply being on campus and introducing himself as someone in an authority position makes it seem he works for the college.
