They gave me a generous gift for first time parents and I loved it. This is my favorite place to be despite it being open for a few hours. I hope they extend the hours because we have three neighboring schools around and Kids need this. Anyway all of the staff here deserve a raise! Thank you guys!

Who doesn't love libraries?!…read more This library is our favorite! It is kept clean, organized, and have a wide variety of children's books to choose from. Staff and volunteers are always helpful. As other libraries, this branch also offer self-checkouts and easy drop offs. They they also offer automatic extension for borrowed items and you can also put books on hold if you are waiting on a specific one. I also had a privilege of using one of the conference rooms with other mom friends to help our kids with their homework. Parking is ample and is located in downtown Brentwood, so you can also shop, eat, play and walk around after. If you also want to support the library, one way is to check out their second hand books on the second floor or donate books as well.

In my quest to get stamps at all LAPL locations for their 100th anniversary, this was the first…read morelocation I was disappointed with. Not only is it location in a very busy area that would make it tough to visit if you aren't able to walk or use public transportation (parking on the street is metered & in high demand and the parking lot is beyond small), but the location itself is quite small. It feels almost like a satellite branch than an actual library. I guess it would be good for just working, but that's about it. It didn't look like it had much of a selection. Finally, I want to believe it was a one off, but the librarian who helped me was the first in over a dozen library visits who wasn't beyond friendly and helpful. She just seemed to not want to be there that day. It just capped off a disappointing trip.

Los Medanos has an EMS program which has garnered a reputation in the Bay Area over the years. My…read moreconcern is whether its instructors are adequately protecting their students from predatory companies and situations within the workplace which they might encounter in the EMS field. Are you making students aware of the long history which some companies in the prehospital care business have of failing to pay their workers, harassment, insurance fraud, elderly abuse, kickbacks, skipped lunch breaks, etc...? Are you teaching students how they might deal with these situations safely? Are you providing your students with the proper resources and assurance that there are legal avenues, whistleblower rights, and other forms of defense against abusive management and coworkers? Are you showing your students how to approach these resources, file various formal complaints, and to garner critical evidence against them? Please feel free to email me with questions, concerns, or developments in the curriculum. Thank you for your time and consideration. #ProtectEMTs #ProtectOurStudents #ProtectAmericanFamilies

A truly horrible "school". They run on adjunct power and give their adjunct teachers no rights, no…read morejob security, no incentive to remain there. The full-time professors are not experts in their fields; they are people who could not get jobs at decent colleges. The course offerings are poor, there is no campus life, and it's in the terrible, very low class dystopia called Pittsburg. A degree from here is worthless. It's a total joke of a so called learning institution and a degree from here is laughable at best.

There are no closed door rooms for a study area. All that is in the open. That was the only thing I didn't like. The Place was very clean. The staff is very kind and helpful. Come in the morning if you want to get some quiet time and work down. Anytime after 3pm school kids will be out and it gets pretty loud in the small spaces. Overall it is a good place to visit and rent books and movies. Also I love the new updated version of self checkout. Plus in case you get hungry it's a taco spot right in the same building. Haven't tried the taco spot yet though.

I also liked the fact that they offered a lot of chairs and tables for people to sit at, whether they'd want to read books, whip out their laptops to work or do homework. They also have a "teen" or "young adult" section where you would find a great selection of manga/Japanese comic books. The library staff were very nice and helpful. I just created my library card the other day, and the staff was very patient and friendly. I would definitely go back to the library to borrow some books and movies.

My daughter is an avid reader and I had a whole library at home. She is graduating soon from UC Davis so it is time to donate her books! I contributed many books and they look brand new as she was meticulous with her prized possessions! So kids go get your FREE books at the Little Library and you can return them when you are through for others to enjoy or keep them I believe if you so desire! Thank you to this teacher for doing this for the community! And there are many schools nearby of all grade levels that can drop by to select some books! And it is a cool place which looks like a little forest with chairs with towering pine trees- you can let your imagination run wild! Very peaceful!

This review is for the EKG Technician Continuing Education course, Fall 2025, Concord Campus…read more The EKG Technician course is supposed to be an 11.5-week, 60-hour in-person program with instruction and hands-on lab experience, but the reality has been far from what was advertised, and instead a huge disappointment and waste of time. The start of class was delayed a week with no reason and no proactive communication about logistics - I had to reach out the first day of instruction just to find out which classroom to go to and who the instructor would be. Since then, multiple class sessions were canceled or ended early, and we had only about five hours of actual classroom time instead of the nearly 28 hours we should have had by the end of week 4 (minus four canceled classes). The content itself was very disappointing - mostly reading slides (which were a recap of the textbook) and watching YouTube videos with very limited access to equipment or lab practice (which seemed to be an administrative issue). There was no effort to make up missed time, and it's hard to see how students would reach the advertised 60 hours of instruction, let alone pass the course or pass state certification. The instructor appeared to have good intentions, but it seems this last-minute staffing decision left everyone unprepared, including the instructor themself. Attempts to contact Continuing Education for help went unanswered, which is incredibly frustrating for those of us who paid full fees (over $1,600) and commute long distances to attend. To make matters worse, the Concord campus at that time had poor (no) lighting on the walkway from the parking lot, which is definitely a safety concern for evening classes. Overall, this experience has been unprofessional and discouraging. CSU East Bay Continuing Education really needs to address the lack of communication, instructional quality, equipment availability, and basic campus safety before continuing to offer it. BTW, check your local community college instead if similar courses are offered, it will be A LOT cheaper ($46/unit for Cali residents)!

I came by here to get some books for school because it would save me a trip to the Hayward campus…read more Unfortunately, this place is out in the weeds too. It's next to a state park or in the middle of it. So, I came here because I thought it was closer. When I was in grad school before, there was a campus in Walnut Creek. It was in the middle of downtown and was quite easily accessible. But this place isn't. And if there is traffic (and there was) look out! I am glad that I don't have to come here regularly because I'd have to get out of work a good two hours before class to get there on time and then drive all of the way home after class. They aren't open on Friday or Saturdays. But I was able to pick up my books. I was going to look for some school swag but they didn't really have any. In the future, I will have my books sent to me to avoid having to come all of the way out here to pick up two books.
