The male librarian is very helpful when I want to ask him on how to make a copy. The female old librarian is gossiping about Asian people and making fun at them. The young teenager is making fun at the Asian populations. Other people are gossiping about other person's life after 4pm. In general, the quality of the people who come to this library are better during the morning , but the quality of the people are getting worse as the day goes by, especially during the evening hours.

There is also a Safeway and a few restaurants in the complex across the street (Homestead).

The Santa Clara City Library comes highly recommended.

Second, this library is small which again is nice when you have two very active 4 year olds its nice to have a small space where they can always be in my eye site is a huge yes! Third, this library is never very crowded. Recently I learned they offer free classes which my boys are a little young for but once they are old enough we will definitely join some classes. Lastly, my dad always makes donations to this library and they always call to say thank yoi, which is a nice personal touch!

I decided to leave a review as a result of an incredible experience in September 2024. I had been having some issues with my account, so I called the library soon after they opened. The phone was answered by Lucy, who was patient, friendly, and took extra time to understand the issue. She make several different attempts to address my needs. I was impressed by her persistence and positivity while trying to solve the issues with my account, which she completed successfully. An excellent experience. Thank you! BTW. Be sure to check out the impressive seed library next to the front desk.

No more mentally disturbed/homeless people on site. It's surprisingly busy on the weekends, especially back-to-school season. I love how they have a quiet area with a fireplace, cushy seats, and sunshine shining through the windows facing the park. No talking in this area. The children and teens' section is conveniently located downstairs, which is an ideal location since they tend to talk loudly. Study/meeting rooms are spacious upstairs, but must be reserved ahead of time. Also, the restrooms are clean on both floors. Love the sculpture near the entrance. I can't believe it took me ages to discover this library after walking around Downtown Mountain View for the past two years. There's a parking garage available on the side of the library including street parking. Nice to walk around after dining in nearby restaurants and worth coming back to chill and read.

I like to visit other cities library as you can always learn something new. Back of library is a very nice Pioneer Memorial park with cute Animals sculptures from popular story books. This is Toad's book club. Located behind the Mountain View Public Library this collection brings a childhood story to life. "Toad's Book Club" illustrates Wind and the Willows characters doing what is at the heart of their lives - reading. The sculptures include some classic works such as Of Mice and Badgers, Tail of Two Cities and Red Badger of Courage. The sculptor is Albert Guibara sculptures are almost always in bronze and have achieved international attention which I can see why as they are cute and imaginative. Makes me feel like a kid again. Yes I believe this is a great place to be a tourist to see what this city and California has to offer. Great for locals and out of towner to enjoy. :)

I've gotten a good amount of work and reading done in this library. I also love how close it is to Highway 85, so I can quickly stop by to return items or pick up reserved items when I'm in a hurry. The Saratoga, Cupertino, and Morgan Hill Libraries have all redefined the standard I expect libraries to have now. MLK Library in DTSJ is trash compared to these three IMO. The sheer number of books, blu-rays, and video games each library has is insane. You're missing out if you don't sign up for a Santa Clara County Library card!

The inside of the library was so neat and clean. There was a lot of natural lighting too, which made the library seem more inviting. The kid's section of the library has a large selection of books. There is a play structure with a slide, a "bonfire" area, and a play corner for new walkers. There are even a few reading books by the window. My son had a great time walking around, exploring, and reading some books. When it was time for storytime, the librarian walked my son and his baby group to a private room. It's nice knowing that they offer this service aside from the regular weekly storytime. They have a parking lot, which was about 90% full by the time I left around noon. I went on a weekday.

I just wish they allowed access to the SCU computers for alumni, or had guest computers on the second and third floors. I really appreciate that most people here tend to respect the fact that libraries are meant to be quiet. The third floor study room is really nice and boasts an amazing view of the campus. Parking is free on weekends and street parking is available as well! They also offer free 2 hour visitor parking permits (any time after 8 PM is free), and anyone is able to access the library without needing a student ID card prior to 7 PM. Additionally, the Sunstream Cafe is usually open and has a variety of caffeinated beverages & snacks available for purchase. This library is a gem and I love that it closes on the later side.

There are numerous tables lined up against the windows, and plenty of computers for use although I'm not sure if those are only for catalog searches. There is also a quiet study section where there's a bunch of desks lined up like a classroom. The desks are very small (meant for one person) and frankly, I had too many things. Anyways, I came to escape the heat wave and bask in the cool air conditioning while finishing the rest of my work day. I sat in the teen room because I think I pass at 19 (lol), but I had to move shortly since there were few spots with an outlet available. I was able to snag a table against the window that had an outlet nearby. By the way, you don't need a SCCL library card to access the internet, so open to all! I definitely will be coming back to this library to do some work if I don't have any meetings. Compared to Woodland, Los Altos is open for longer and hours and has like 8x the amount of workspace. The library may be a bit outdated, but it gets the job done!

As soon as I slid the $25 over-the-counter, I asked about the room utilization and the room does not allow you to use the TV. You're not allowed to use the resources in the room that are physically there, unless you're a sponsored library program that you have to apply for. When I asked for a refund, they told me payment is nonrefundable, standing in the same conversation standing at the cashier desk. This was probably the worst Customer Service I have ever received. I also talked to three other ladies and they were all three rude in the process of this backhanded info. I am sadly very dissatisfied with this library and won't ever come back!
