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.

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!

As a lifetime bookworm, I have a high standard for libraries. They must be comfortable, inviting,…read morehave a great selection, and most of all, give you the space to disappear behind the stacks. 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 attended a storytelling/ playtime class. There was singing, hand gestures and lots of toys. It was so much fun. Lots of toddlers too! I am looking forward to more activities.

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!

They also charge absurd prices for bottled/ Canned drinks sold much cheaper at your local gas station. You can easily spend close to $40 for two people and the portions are small to say the least. Not worth it if you're hungry and want a good filling meal. Love the library portion, the Cafe is a hard pass.
