    Adj: Oldie but Okie Dokie…read more The Union City Library is one of the older library branches in the Alameda library system. It's nestled in a pretty quiet neighborhood and it's surrounded by a lot of greeneries and trees. It seems pretty popular on the afternoon when we stopped by for a visit. The building itself is at least several decades old and its age shows, but still ok. It's just one big room basically on the first floor, it's kind of wide open, the children's section is tucked away a bit on the left side as you enter and then the adults stacks occupy basically the rest of the space. The kids area is actually pretty cute. There's colorful tables and chairs as well as a painted story time area. It's warm and welcoming for little ones, but as a whole the kids section is pretty small. On the second floor, there's a small loft space that's dedicated to teens. Only teens are allowed to hang out and spend extended time there after school on weekdays, but anyone can go up there and browse. They have some games and snacks for teens and it's a cool space. However this branch is centrally located and gets utilized a lot from what I can observe, so it's still a perfectly functional and fully enjoyed library. They try to make the best use of the space, but it can't compare to the newer libraries in the Alameda County library system that have so much more square footage and some are even multi-story and just aesthetically and architecturally pleasing to the eye, and designed so well inside to be able to really cater to the needs of different patrons from young kids to the elderly. One really nice feature at Union City library though it's that all throughout the building, a ton of natural light is streaming in from windows all over the library, so it's a really warm and comfortable environment. Overall, the Union City library is definitely an older and smaller library in the AC library system, it's not bad, but there's many more far bigger and more extensive libraries that I prefer to visit.

    This location is a hidden gem. Courteous Staff members. Big…read moreplay area for kids. And many events for kids that are not super crowded unlike other locations. I wish they had some focus study spaces too

    We celebrated two events at this location - baby shower and bridal shower. They rent it by the hour…read more- if you are a fremont resident you can get a discount. The actual building itself is a bit old, but you cannot beat the location. You open the patio doors and see the lake right in front of you. The building has chairs and tables provided. There are two restrooms (women's and men's) and a kitchen to prepare or store food. I love the fact that you can utilize both the inside are to store food and have places to sit and the outside area for games or just to enjoy the nice view and sun. Clean up - they require all trash and recycling to be removed and for the floors to be swept clean before you can leave. Parking: can get pretty tight. If you have an event - highly recommend to make it at 12 or earlier to help your guests get priority on parking spots.

    We recently rented the Fremont Community Center for a baby shower this past weekend and it was a…read moregreat space! Here's the breakdown: - the facility is a 2,000 square feet multi-purpose room that can accommodate about 110 people. - It has large kitchen in the back complete with stove, oven, microwave and large fridge. - it has a women's and men's restroom that is only available for your event (meaning, closed to the Lake-goers in the area). - rental of the facility includes 10 10x2 tables, as well as plenty of chairs. - there is a 6 hr minimum to rent (includes kitchen): $390 for Fremont residents, $510 for non-residents - each additional hour is $65 (resident) and $85 (non-resident) Pros: - booking was a breeze; I did my transactions online and correspondence via email and the contacts were very helpful and responsive! - the facility has lots of windows and overlooks a really great part of Lake Elizabeth. - close to the parking lot and easy to find. Cons: - building is quite old - parking lot can get packed by lunch time Other notes: - allow ample time for set up; the tables and chairs are not set up for you - soap and toilet paper is provided in the bathrooms; dishwashing liquid and surface cleaners however, are not...so bring your own - mops and brooms are located in the supply cabinet by the restrooms - you can serve beer, wine and champagne for a maximum of 4 hours Would book this again!
