Anyone who is a California resident can get a free library card at the front desk. They are doing a fundraiser to upgrade the place. I hope they can reopen the typewriter closets into places folks video conferences online can use. The library has a security officer that keeps the over talkative from yapping too loud and will open the locked bathroom for your use.

There is a large children's area. Many tables, seats even an outdoor patio with a Big umbrella.

Get a library card- and you can check out books. There's a section for Young Adults too.

Oakdale, CA-this library is my local and it's very nice!!! All staff and workers are super friendly…read moreand easy to work with. I come and go at least 5-10 times a year. All of the sections are easily located and placed so you can find any book easily. if you speak Spanish, (español) then that's perfecto, because they also have Spanish books and aisles. you can rent movies, audiobooks, and shows there, along with your books. Not a big fan of getting up to go places, or you're too busy? then, download this app (or others, but I highly recommend this one!) called Libby. it lets you add libraries, including this one. you just need to have a library card. in conclusion... THIS LIBRARY ROCKS!!!

I called Stanislaus County Free Library and inquired about getting an earlier appointment. The guy who was helping me said it's best to call in the morning and check for cancellations. I asked if he had anything available that day and he did!! So I was able to get in at 3:30pm. He was very helpful. I called again and had questions on what to bring to appointment and the lady who answered this time was very nice as well! So I went to my appointment and Lisa helped me.

I've yet to attend a meeting but I have been reading most of the Book Club books for about a year now and it's a great way to read things I might've not read otherwise.

I had…read moreto get back in my car drive a few blocks away to the police department which was only labeled by the police cars in the lot. For the new welcoming place for all parking permits it's remarkably unlabeled and not easy to find. Don't go to the main doors of the building go down to what seems to be a lower level area to find the police department. Also write down your license plate number yo save yourself a trip back to your car. I love that everyone just kept saying sorry new rules. Library visits require a visit to the police station.

This is actually a pretty nice library for the small population of Ripon. The library itself smells…read morelike history when you first walk in. It is clean and organized well. There is a specific children's area in the corner which is spaced nicely from the areas adults would sit down to read. The library also offers computers with internet access and the ability to print. They also have a small section of movies to rent. If you need a quiet area they have two study rooms equipped with tables large for six persons. The center of the library also has an information area that an employee staffs if you have any questions. There are a lot of negative reviews centered around the front counter employees. Most of these reviews are dated. My dealings with employees have been pleasant. If you don't feel like conversing with the employees, they do offer a self check out machine. If you are looking for reading material, you are sure to find something here.

I just really wish she could have helped me anyway and turned on a computer for me.

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!

I tried the Cafe located in the Livermore library and was sadly disappointed. I was appalled by how…read moreridiculous the prices were for a tiny two bites worth of a sandwich and it was simple in taste nothing special. 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.
