Kids get to play/do these perler beads here for free now. They can even take them home when done. Thanks library staff.
Steven M.

The library staff is incredibly helpful, especially in the kids section. Lots of computers to use.

From what I hear this library is much better than past years. It's nice to bring the kids and check out some books. The staff is great too.

My kids and I love this library. It's so much better and safer than the main SA library.

Big water features inside the library. I enjoy working here. They also dont have restrictions to bring food or drinks like some public library.

This is my favorite library. The building is very spacious, well-maintained, and has plenty of room…read morewhether you're looking to study, read, or just spend a quiet afternoon. Weekdays it is open from 9 AM to 9 PM, but closed on Sundays. Huge lot for parking. The library itself is beautiful. There's a large fountain in the center of the building that gives the space a unique, open feel, and it makes the library feel more like a community gathering place with an air of nostalgia and calmness that comes with a spa day. There are lots of tables and study areas spread throughout the library, so it's never difficult to find a place to sit. The collections are plentiful, with a wide selection of books across different genres, mixed media, and materials for everyone including a dedicated children's area. One feature that was new to me was the Makerspace. It's available by appointment for library card holders, and you'll need to bring your own design or project idea. An instructor is there to guide you through the process, which makes it less intimidating for anyone interested in learning something new. It lives next to a café located on the lower level, which is convenient if you plan on spending a few hours studying or working. Overall, this is an amazing library with great amenities, plenty of space, and resources that go beyond books. This is somewhere I recommend everyone checks out when they're in the area - pun intended.

By far one of the nicest libraries I've been too…read more Not a lot people reading but what would you expect when everyone is glued to their phones. The employees are really helpful and nice. Love that they have a section for audiobooks. The parking lot is a bit cramped but it's a really big lot

Today was the day I woke up and decided to stop gatekeeping this amazing library. I come here 1-2…read moretimes a week to browse the books and buy from the friends of the library bookstore. First, the library is beautiful. There are fountains, trees, and flowers. It's right next to the Orange Circle, so it's such a cute area. I will sometimes go for coffee in the Orange Circle after visiting the library. Friends Bookstore- This bookstore has the BEST selection of books. Outside is a bookcase of $0.25 books. Inside the book store, there are rows of books and they even have a kid/teen section. Books range from $0.50 to $1.50, with some special priced books (usually $3). Also, every month they have a special sticker color that indicates that those books as $0.50! I have gotten so many books here for myself, as gifts, and for work (I'm a school counselor and they have a section for mental health books in the kids section!). On Tuesdays, $1.50 books are half off for members. It's $12 a year for a membership but it includes $5 towards books and half off Tuesdays. TOTALLY worth it. I have gotten so many good and even newly released books here for $0.50-$3! It's really a steal! Everyone I have encountered working/volunteering there have been so kind and helpful. I genuinely LOVE coming here and browsing books and talking to the volunteers.

I'm pained that I didn't check out this library while I was still in school. Being on a college…read morecampus, I'm surprised that it's so public-friendly (very unlike the library from my college)! Plenty of people who aren't students come by to study and work. Noise level: One of the quietest libraries I've been to. Everyone's buckling down and doing their work. No loud groups or hushed whispers. Honestly, such an ideal place to get in the zone. Wifi: So fast! It didn't fail once. Health: Before you enter, you have to scan a QR code to do a health screening. A bit annoying, but appreciated. They have a separate one for just the general visiting public. Parking: You can snag free street parking if you come at the right time! Can be tricky during busy hours/seasons, but there's plenty of paid parking options available. Environment: I only went up to the 2nd level. Desks are pretty individualistic (study carrel pods) and line the windows which provided some natural lighting and glimpses at outside greenery. There are more community-style tables on the ground floor. Overall just a regular library. Looks like a library. No frills.

This place has everything you needed: books for random reading on the second and third floors,…read moreseats for sitting down and studying on every floor with a faculty member/friends/yourself, a nice cafe, restrooms, computer labs/classes, a Holocaust memorial museum, offices for faculty members to own and use, awesome wifi, kind/friendly/professional staff members, and an IT team that can give you a new and free ID as long as you have your old and worn one with you, along with helping you sign into your Chromebook if you have any issues.

I'm giving the library five stars because I love it there. The lake with all the ducks and geese is…read morethe highlight for me. I usually come every weekend to feed them and study. The library's Wi-Fi works well. The people who visit the library are quiet. Which brings us to my gripe that I must discuss. At any time and at most times, when you're in the main library area on the ground level (top level) pretty much all the library staff is very, very loud in everything they do. When talking to library guests they speak in such a high volume, in contrast to all the other people who are silent doing their things, it is awful terrible loud. They have full blown in depth conversations at high decibels. Libraries are supposed to be quiet places to study. The other part of this gripe is the library aides. Throughout most times I'm there and I do mean throughout, the library aides do this thing....it seems like they throw the books they' handle onto these metal rolling carts they work with. Every couple of seconds you hear the sound of what appears to be a thick hardcover book slamming against the metal cart. It always startles me and makes me furious. I'm a very aware type of person. I would change my work style if my work was creating such a disturbance especially in a place like a library. And there's all these other loud sounds they make with their carts. Often you have a symphony of that and another loud conversation with the librarians which actually is the case this very moment. I'm not lying. I wish there was a place I could lodge a complaint or talk to the head of operations here. I continue to come back because of the waterfowl and the peace I get here and I am productive when I study here. But all the racket almost completely ruins the peace that would otherwise be had there if they weren't so goddamn loud. It's a library. It's supposed to be quiet and mellow. You should take your loud conversations outside if you have to have them. Do you hear any of the guests having loud conversation as you do? That's because they're not part of the problem. Other than that those two significant issues the library is perfect. I still recommend it and you might not be bothered by the noises I described. Give this library a shot. Parking is right next to the library and it has a lot of great views. It seems their books and graphic novels are great but I haven't taken a deep dive. I'm sorry for criticizing the noise but I had to.

Went to this library to return some books I checked out at another location. The worker at the main…read moredesk who helped me was friendly and answered all the questions I had. There are two levels: upstairs mostly holds adult books and then downstairs are for kids and teens. I LOVE that they have a "lucky day" section upstairs and I was able to pick up a book that's been on my list for some time. There are many tables with outlets and it was pretty clean. Overall, I would definitely come back!
