My library experience here is hands down the worst ever on a consistent basis. There is one…read morelaughing female staff person who does so while hyperventilating and making remarks about what people are doing on the public computers which are placed directly in front of the main desk. It is  completely baffling why she's not being disciplined. It's utterly useless to try and get any work done here with her "working" there. I reported it but she is still (employed?) there. All of the libraries in the County of San Luis Obispo are peculiarly unconventional from what have been historically designed to be quiet environments. Anymore, the norm seems to have morphed into a social scene, allowing places for people to entertain their children. Avoid this library at all cost. Being nearly vacant, it seems that would-be patrons do.

Great library, good resources, attentive, helpful staff. Ample parking and very clean and quiet.read more

The librarians are not very friendly nor interested in helping the public. However, the technician…read morestaff at the desk are very helpful. 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.
