It's a lot smaller than the county library in Hollister, but it's a very nice and friendly atmosphere. Even if I don't get to this library as often as the one in Hollister, I feel having a card fro both is a good idea. The library assistant was very friendly and helped me get a card. To get one you need something with proof of your address, such as a bill statement. Worth going to. Will try to use it when I can get there.

Free computer use and help if you get stuck. They have atleast 10 computers to choose from so you rarely hate to wait to use one. Homework help center for the children.

This is a public library - so naturally there is an appropriate educate one needs to follow when attending this facility. Other reviewers are critical of the staff and how they handle situations. I've had the pleasure to attend this library long enough to see situations handled both well, and others that could use improvement but overall I applaud the staff at the library for doing their very tough job. You all do a much better job than I would be able to. Thank you for your hard work for our community! My customer experience has been very good and I'll continue to visit this library on a regular basis. See you soon!

There's a New Books section, John Steinbeck collection, many computers, Teenage area even w/ video games to play. If I lived closer I'd use this library.
