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.

This library is smaller than others but it's cute. The reason for the four stars is because the…read morerooms get reserved SOOO fast in the mornings. I went on a random weekday and within 5 min of the library opening and they had no more rooms! It also gets kind of loud and I had to sit outside for a quieter environment. But the flip side of that is you can be louder and feel comfortable. Overall I would recommend and staff can be helpful.

It's a nice excuse to enjoy a drive past the ducks and landscapes to pick it up. The librarians there have been welcoming and eager to help. The whole place is one room of books, with a new nonfiction and fiction section. There is a "research" shelf with books on the history of the area and a stack of binders with the history of the library. As it's a small spot, little on places to sit, but there is a park nearby. A children's table is surrounding by a good selection of picture books, and the statue of the little girl reading while laying on her stomach is quite cute!

Walnut Grove's little branch has few of these things. Granted, it is wonderful that this place even exists in this town, but little has been done to encourage patronage. Perhaps it is the clientele: kids on the computers and people who would rather read magazines than those crazy things called books. This town is not "literary" by any means. Regardless, the selection is so-so (thank goodness for the internet request system), the building is claustrophobic, and some of the librarians are downright crabby. Not a place I want to spend time in.

We are hoping to also join the 1000 books before kindergarten next time we go. Overall, it was clean, spacious areas for all ages.

I found multiple open tables on that Wednesday afternoon. It wasn't a completely silent area, but it wasn't loud enough to distract me from working. There were outlets on the table, and the Wi-fi was pretty fast and reliable! There's plenty of parking in their designated parking lot. The restrooms were pretty clean and are located near the front when you enter the building. If I ever need to be in the area again, this would be my go-to study/work spot!

A good library, it looks to be older on the outside, but the inside is still pretty new looking…read more Maybe they updated it or something. This library is open everyday, so that's nice b/c none of the Sac Public Libraries is open on Sundays or Mondays. I can't believe this one is open even on Sundays, great for kids to hang out on a lazy Sunday afternoon. As I entered, there's the kids' area on the left side, it's like a separate wing altogether and it's nice and colorful in there. It's really big too, so kids must really enjoy that space and I saw quite a few kids there on a late weekday afternoon, maybe cuz it's summer time. Lots of kids books on shorter shelves and several kids' computers w/preloaded software for them. Back towards the entrance of the library you'll find the info/front desk where the librarians and assistants are available to help you find books etc. Then there's shelves of books and towards the back of the library, but still in the middle as you look in, there's a friends of the library book sale and an area where you can eat and there are a couple of vending machines so you can buy a snack and drink. There's even a charging stand with multiple cords for different phones if you need to recharge your phone. The right side of the library is where teens and adults sections are and there's a dedicated teens room, and a couple of study rooms as well as a huge and really nice study room named after some lady who's a local person of importance and the room is filled with old books and is pretty amazing to study in although it was kind of hot and stuffy in there so I just peeked in and didn't stay. Finally, towards the far right side of the library are all the circulating movie and TV DVDs and there were a ton compared to other libraries I've seen as well as CDs which interesting, is still popular here. And lots of seating and reading loungers, but mostly desk and chairs for studying. All in all this is a pretty nice and big library, older, but well-kept.
