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!

We went in just after 3pm slightly bummed missing the wonderful cafe that dishes up healthy veg and non-veg food. Think avocado toast, smoothies, and various concoctions of coffee or tea. They have a unique lending library of monopoly, chess, camping gear, soccer balls, and so much more. On to the books. Smart eclectic selection. Livermore Library has it all and my only grip is five stars is not enough.

Much easier to use their system to print than the downtown Livermore library!! I haven't been in the Springtown library since I was a kid, and aside from the small space they have to work with and the cities recent budget cuts, I was very pleased to use this facility!

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.

A really nice library in the East Bay City of Dublin (not in Ireland, some people actually posted…read morepictures of Ireland about this library, haha), but it has a few cons. Pros: - It keeps its facility cool on the very hot days. - Parking is under solar panels that keep the vehicles cool. Nice that they're also generating energy. - Lots of books to stay entertained with knowledge. - this library is huge and has so many areas to sit and read, study, get work done etc. Cons: - Wi-Fi connection is very spotty at best. Not sure if that's the case often and an ongoing problem or if it's just bc of the heat maybe affecting the Wi-Fi. - not open on Fridays. All in all, a really big, well built and nicely maintained library that surely serves the community well.

I've patronized this library countless times and I found it to be a great resource besides books…read more They even have laptops that you can check out. Feel free to ask the friendly resource librarian for help on any research that you're doing. Keep in mind that you can get for free any book from any library in the United States. Its called link+. They will get it for you for absolutely free. Also, here's something I bet you didn't know about. They have seeds for your garden that they will give you. I've had many seeds that I planted in my garden, all from Dublin public library. Thank you for being such a great resource in our community

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!

Everything is mostly downstairs, but upstairs they have a section for teens. My children are younger, so we were in the kids section mostly. They currently have some fun reading summer challenges.

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!

The layout is very well organized, and there's plenty of natural light from the tall windows (highlighting the setting of surrounding redwoods).

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.
