The children's section is not set up to accommodate children. There should be more outreach to the families trying to help children find books. The picture book section is particularly not child-friendly for browsing. The books are jammed tightly on the shelves by the author's last name, which makes it difficult for anyone to find a book unless they know specifically what they're looking for.

I thought I was doing the right thing by offering to donate a large selection of books that had…read morebelonged to my father. These were not "junk" books, but actual nice quality items. When I wrote to the Grover Beach Community Library about the donation I got a very harsh response from Nan Fowler. I realize she owns a used book store in Grover Beach and so that makes her the "expert" but quite frankly with her attitude I don't see why anyone would want to shop in her store. Perhaps my experience is unique, but it doesn't seem that the Grover Beach Community Library really wants donation of books unless "they are old Hemingway etc. that is different". Ms. Fowler's exact words to me. Bottom line is she could have been a bit more gracious and just told me they weren't interested instead she felt compelled to send a drawn out e-mail that I found to be very insulting. Needless to say I won't donate books to this library, won't shop any of their used book sales, use this community library or spend one cent in Ms. Fowler's bookstore.

If you decide to go in person, make sure to arrive early or be prepared for a long wait. Some of the staff speak in a condescending tone, which is disappointing coming from professionals in social services. On one occasion, I was questioned about why I hadn't come in earlier to follow up on my benefits. I explained that the online portal showed my paperwork had been received and was pending review, so I was simply following the instructions and being patient. Instead of acknowledging that, the worker responded dismissively -- as if my explanation wasn't valid. Later, I found out my paperwork had actually been overlooked and left pending for months, meaning the portal was inaccurate. Rather than taking accountability, I was reprimanded for not contacting them sooner. It's frustrating to be blamed for their oversight, especially when you're doing your part and following the system as instructed.
