    New library, as seen from Sixth Street near Hanna Street.
    Sylvia D.

    Gilroy has a permanent public library again! After a few years of demolishing the old library, relocating to a temporary spot on Monterey Street, and constructing the new library, the Gilroy Library had its grand opening celebration on April 28. The new library is pretty sweet. It's a lovely two-story building featuring modern architectural features under a traditional Spanish tile roof, a spacious lobby, landscaped courtyard, lounge-y seats, free computers to use by the hour, free wi-fi, and lots of books, media, and other reading material (of course!). If you're itching to use your piece of plastic, leave your credit card at home and have at it with your library card here. This is easily my favorite new building in Gilroy and it beams with civic pride. Library patrons (or people who use this place to as free day care for your kids): please take good care of this place so it can retain its beauty for years to come!

    My four year old and I absolutely love this place. The toddler section is great with its two toddler computers, a mom can just park your child there and for 30 min. (each session is 30 min) read or use your laptop with library wifi while they are entertained. They have added two Lego tables where kids can play Legos at once together it is great. Also there are so many free programs going on just pay attention to the flyers there is something for everyone. One killer deal is to save 5 library checkout receipts and if you are a Gilroy resident, 5 receipts = 1 free admission to Gilroy Gardens. With their reading program I received a free tote bag, free dvd and a free flash drive. The library including the restrooms are clean and organized. If you are even remotely interested just go you will be hooked.

    I love the free zumba classes on Tuesdays! They don't have my gym here in Gilroy so this helps!

    Most reviews are true. This isn't your wretched library. There are two floors with many study desks to choose from.

    So, I really loved the old library because I'd always gone to it when I was a kid but a remodel was much needed.
