I found multiple open tables on that Wednesday afternoon. It wasn't a completely silent area, but it wasn't loud enough to distract me from working. There were outlets on the table, and the Wi-fi was pretty fast and reliable! There's plenty of parking in their designated parking lot. The restrooms were pretty clean and are located near the front when you enter the building. If I ever need to be in the area again, this would be my go-to study/work spot!

I tried the Cafe located in the Livermore library and was sadly disappointed. I was appalled by how…read moreridiculous the prices were for a tiny two bites worth of a sandwich and it was simple in taste nothing special. They also charge absurd prices for bottled/ Canned drinks sold much cheaper at your local gas station. You can easily spend close to $40 for two people and the portions are small to say the least. Not worth it if you're hungry and want a good filling meal. Love the library portion, the Cafe is a hard pass.

I love my local library in Pleasanton, so much to offer the community…read more Open daily, closed on holidays, guest lectures, movie showings, summer reading program, an array of children's activities throughout the year, they host community classes such as, emergency preparedness, cultural events just to name a few. The city's office for recreational programs are now housed in the library. Their staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. A gem for the City of Pleasanton.

Quite a few games - toys, puzzles, building blocks, kitchen etc. and of course- story books for kids of different ages. Darlene and the rest of the staff are very warm, friendly and welcoming. Always ready to help you with all the information about the different programs and activities being carried out in and around the library. It's a big place and has the park right next to it. They have fun activities for the kids esp on every Friday which is a lot of fun and learning. Well maintained and a tidy place. Would highly recommend this library in particular, to parents in and around Livermore.

There's an area for FLW books and info, but the rest of the library is like any other public library and offers lots of services and products. I really enjoyed the back room which had a small exhibit about the history of Chilean people in the area. The librarians were all so welcoming and helpful! As I walked around, many greeted me warmly and also were masked -- both gestures were much appreciated!

This is by far one of my favorite libraries in all of East Contra Costa and the San Joaquin region…read more I used to come here often on weekends to study when I was in grad school, and I'm honestly jealous of Mt House residents who have access to a library like this. It's top-tier -- great technology, plenty of different spaces to choose from, and it's easy to find a quiet area without a lot of noise or distractions. The ability to reserve a room is also simple and convenient. As far as I remember from a couple years ago, you didn't even need a library card just to come in and use the space, which I also appreciated. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and I've never had a bad experience here -- not with staff, patrons, or maintenance. I also really respect that they're open on the weekends. Libraries like this are exactly what communities should have and what other areas should model.

My toddler and I LOVED this library. We were visiting my in-laws in Tracy and made the short drive…read moreover to see what this library had to offer. It did not disappoint! We enjoyed the lovely soft furniture, baby board books, and countless puzzles and toys to play with. The Children's area has multiple seating areas and it was nice to have space to spread out with my toddler. The staff was very friendly and the library itself is in a great area next to a park and playground you can visit before or after you get some books. We will definitely be going back the next time we are in the area.

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!

After spending some time in downtown, my friend and I wanted to stop by the library to check out the new Zocalo pocket cafe (we're big fans of the San Leandro location). Unfortunately we got there when it was closed, but that gave us a reason to explore the library itself! It's so spacious with 3 levels of books, work rooms, and more. Libraries truly are such a wonderful resources. Along with the books to borrow, Hayward library also has a bookshop, a makers studio, a teen center, a community resource center, a seed library, a library of things, and much much more. There's so many places to sit - whether you're wanting to work with a large group or just need a computer space for yourself. The staff here was super helpful when we asked for directions on where to find things and when we asked about how the makers studio worked. Did you know you can reserve time in their makers studio to use machines like a sewing machine, a cricut, a large document printer, and even a laser cutter? Now you know. Anyways, now I know all the great resources here and I'm excited to come by whenever I want to work from somewhere else for a bit. Big plus that the parking garage is so spacious so you'll never have to struggle with parking while visiting.

The layout is very well organized, and there's plenty of natural light from the tall windows (highlighting the setting of surrounding redwoods). The lovely & historical art displayed on the walls downstairs is very interesting to peruse and look at. I use my library membership here to access a few online apps to borrow books (Libby & Hoopla), and I always find what I'm looking for as the access is not just MV library, but includes all Marin County libraries. Also, icing on the vegan cake is that on the side of the building is a small but very well stocked used bookstore -the Friends of the Library Bookstore- with a diverse selection of secondhand books at incredibly low prices.
