In honor of Earth Day, I decided to visit this library. I've been meaning to do this for almost a…read moreyear. I've seen some libraries with some great library of things. Useful items that you usually you only use once or twice. Borrowing instead of buying makes so much sense. But this library things just blew me away with its extensive collection. Pickleball? Sewing machine? Weights for weightlifting? Cookie cutters? They got it. They have day passes for state parks, museums, theaters... You don't need your own fax machine or your own printer. If you're computing needs are light, just come to the library and use their computers. The fees are so much more reasonable than buying equipment that becomes obsolete in 3 to 5 years. This particular library seems to have a fairly large collection of physical books. Of course, I zoomed straight for the cookbook and the gardening books. They have a great selection of cookbooks. I have collected cookbooks in the past. I got up to 65 before I realized: my shelves were about to collapse. I was only using each cookbook at best 3 to 5 recipes. This is when you realize you have got to clean house and use the library instead. But don't limit yourself to the physical books, remember to check the electronic resources. As far as I know, you have access to many libraries in the California system. I have memberships to many of the towns and cities where I have resided, and they have never canceled my electronic memberships. So I have access to at least three major systems. And it's a good thing I have access to online resources because by the time I picked up all the Cook books I knew I had reached my physical limits and it was time to stop. I was sucked in by the gift shop. This particular section had even more outré books. I picked up a book for fountain pen collectors, and I was about to buy a classic book from Harold McGee when I realized it was available online. Thank goodness. This was a bit too much weightlifting for me. A friend of mine once suggested a wonderful gift. For anyone who's into books, go to the library and pick out a selection of books that you would recommend highly. Your friend gets to read some great books without dealing with the space requirements. And if they don't like it, it's easy to get rid of them. Happy earth day! Here's to enriching your life without cluttering it.

This library is an incredible community space that offers so much more than books. It is not always…read morecompletely quiet, but that is part of what makes it special. The library feels alive, welcoming and social, with people learning, collaborating and participating in events throughout the day. There's a wide range of resources available and the staff is amazing. Everyone I have interacted with has been kind, patient and eager to help. I am especially thankful to one staff member, whose name I will add when I remember it, who assisted me in the Memory Lab. With her help I was able to digitize 30 year old VHS tapes of my grandparents who have since passed away. The events, tools and services offered here are truly impressive and accessible to the public. From technology assistance to creative programs the library goes above and beyond to serve its community. I am incredibly grateful for the resources they provide and for the caring staff who make this library such a meaningful place.

Big library, two librarians, open on Saturday! Yay!! The…read moreindustrial exterior red entrance door is malfunctioning... so be careful going in. Location: Close to fwy, close to Costco, easy to find, BIG selection of books. Large kids area. Lots of DVDs... some weird titles so use discretion. You can donate books - Friends of Library has a few for sale.

I am glad that we have a library like this. I hope that the facility and services will be…read moremaintained if not improved for future generations to enjoy. My daughter loves to come here and borrow books or just sit down and study. It is easy to sign up for a library card so i suggest you do that since it is free! I like their website since it gives you convenience like knowing if what you need is available or if you want to reserve or put a hold on it. You will then get a text message if it is available for pick up. The staff are helpful and accommodating too!

A calm and useful oasis in a lovely town!…read more I have visited there several times over the last few weeks and the whole campus of various public offices, services, and facilities in which the library exists is terrific. Post office is right across the driveway, too. The library itself is cozy and calming, carpeted and clean, with a nice kids section and plenty of stuff for non-kids, like well-maintained computers and a newspaper reading area with tables and chairs that is connected to the main area. There were users of the Napa County library system picking up books that had arrived there from other local and distant libraries, which is so useful! The people that work there have been unfailingly helpful and welcoming, assisting me with printing as well as a flash drive loan that was clutch for me at a moment when it was really needed, and for that I thank them here as well as me being appreciative in the moment. Lots of easy parking behind the facility, also, and the location is a nice springboard to walk around welcoming Yountville in conjunction with a library visit if you are so inclined. I did not get any sense that visitors who are unfamiliar with the library are treated any differently than obvious long-time users, other than staff knowing and using the names of people who often come there, and that made me feel valued and "part of the scene," not just a tolerated intruder or something. The staff sets a professional and welcoming tone in this small corner of the world, and I get the sense from my visits, which will remain part of my pattern, that they like where they work and genuinely want to be of service to the public. BRAVO, YOUNTVILLE LIBRARY!

Preserving History…read more Founded in May 1948 by local citizens, Napa County Historical Society is a membership-based archival and educational organization. Its mission is "to discover and keep history alive through exhibits, lectures, and events, as well as research, publications, and educational activities". It has been located in the beautiful Goodman Library building since 1970s thanks to Jess Doud who was the Executive Director at the time. Visitors can enjoy various displays, exhibits, and educational programs at this location. If visiting, you might check the calendar of events posted on their website in advance of your visit to take full advantage of the programs they offer.

My first visit was last week. It was a wonderful experience. There is a young man who works there…read more I didn't get his name, but I believe he wears his hair pulled back in a ponytail. This young man is so polite so helpful and it made my visit a great success. Fast-forward two days ago, I returned. I had very important documents that needed to be uploaded and very time sensitive. On this day, the employee that was working was deep into a conversation with her coworker. She acted bothered by me asking a question. I am old. I am 55 years old. I am not from today's generation. I am not computer savvy and I need help. Actually I needed a lot of help because I needed to know how to work the printer, attach photos etc. She proceeded to give me two-three word instructions and acted upset because she had to get back to her conversation. I am 55 years old. I am not savvy when it comes to computers. I also understand this is not a computer class. There were three clerks on duty at the time. I don't know. I just feel that if the roles were reverse, I would want to help somebody and feel great that I was able to do so. I felt embarrassed by this. My documents are not yet finished It's a beautiful atmosphere i. I just wish she would have made me feel comfortable

It was on the second or third floor and I swear to you I can still smell the scent of the old book Goosebumps books. But that was years ago and Suisun City was able to construct this fantastic building next to Suisun Elementary and the Croc Center. It's small but the librarians there are extremely friendly and helpful. All around, this is a great addition to Suisun City.

That being said, I found myself pulling out several books for my daughter as I walked around inside. I found three of my own childhood favorites that had faded from memory in just minutes after arriving. I love when that happens. Having visited the Fairfield, Vacaville and now Suisun library, I'd say that despite its size, this library is just as great as any other in the area. Lots of windows, comfy seating for story time and an adequate amount of work tables for the size of the space. We will definitely be back, glad I stumbled upon this gem a few weeks ago!

This library is absolutely enchanting. Set amongst redwoods and within walking distance to Hallmark…read moremovie-esque downtown Mill Valley, this library is a must visit and must frequent. 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.
