I have been using the library for about 8 years now since I moved here from Sacto and always find the workers there friendly and attentive to needs. If I cannot find a book I want or need, I can usually request it and if on hold, it will come. The library lets me know by email when a book is near or past due. The computers are never quite full if I need to use one or/and make copies. I also like the reciprocity with Sacramento libraries so I can request books from other branches that are not close by. I like it that there is a teen computer area so they can have their own quiet area and I have also enjoyed the summer reading program with my grandchildren. The parking is probably the only thing I can complain about. There are sometimes no spaces to park and some people do not obey the entrance and exit signs. Otherwise I give the library a 9. Thank you librarian workers. It is clean and a nicely presentation of new books. Sometimes I would like the library to get some more copies of certain books so I do not have to wait for a hold sometimes months...as I have been number 14-19 of books on hold. That is life I guess. read more

See all

I'm new to this area and wanted to check out the library to get some things printed. Love the inside, so comfy and perfect for studying. Plenty of space too. read more

It is very clean and clean he staff is helpful. I love how they offer the free breakfast and lunch for kids in the summer. The kids area has a great selection of books that both my kids age 7 and 10 enjoy. My biggest complaint is the noise level in the kids area is so loud! My youngest daughter actually has asked to leave multiple times because of the noise level preventing her to be able to concentrate and read. I do wish that a staff member would be more diligent. read more

Easy handicap parking, easy door opening (especially for handicapped and small children. The remodel is open and spacious. Bright and airy. It's enjoyable to sit, relax and read. I'm noticing more activities. It's nice to see people using the library read more

I love this library, I come here once a day just to get out of the house I work from home and this is perfect get away. The staffs are super friendly. read more

This is the loudest Library I have ever stepped foot in, and the noise is the loud voices of adults as opposed to what I would expect of children. I complained at the front desk to no avail. I was told to rent a study room, but was unable to as I came in with just my books and without sufficient identification. this place is a zoo!!!! read more

The kids librarian is very sweet and has set up some really amazing stuff for the summer. They have the summer reading program, and all sorts of fun educational entertainment. My kid loves coming here every week to pick out new books! There are really great kids activities like reading and story time, yoga, crafts, and even a cute little play area. There are also computers with educational kids programs. I am sorry that I initially misjudged this place. The book selection for adults isn't great, but with the use of online catalogs, all of the books in the world are at your fingertips and easy to order. The people that frequent the library might not smell that great, but I am glad that they are attempting to better themselves with reading and job searches. I have found the staff to be helpful and friendly every time I am there! I love this place. read more

Seen a man outside beating up a woman a the security guard inside actually cared enough to do something about it. Seen him getting taken away by the police when I left. And the people in there are very helpful when you are having a hard time using the computers. I'm giving it 4 stars because sometimes they get real lovely people in there and it gets loud but usually they do something about it read more

Quiet place. Unsually quiet. Can't remember it being this quiet since 2006. Must be the advent of new technologies. Lol. But yeah. Nice library. Lots of DVD choices to rent. Fairly cheaper than RedBox. :) hint hint. read more

I went right at opening time (10 AM) and there was plenty of parking available. There was already a crowd of people waiting to get in as well, but once dispersed inside, you could hardly tell. I took my toddler. She loves the large animal and dinosaur displays they have above the book cases. The kids' area is large and kept apart from the adult books and computer area. For those interested, they have a row of computer monitors with preloaded (I'm assuming, educational?) games. There is a kids' play area with a small kitchen, puzzles, puppet animals and blocks. Decent size but with five + kids, I could see it getting very cramped easily. Nice selection of level 1-3 reading for independent reading, children's books, and nonfiction. There is also a couple feet worth of bilingual / Spanish books available for children. I only saw one wall's worth of higher reading level chapter books. I'll have to utilize the search system to find titles like Boxcar Children or Goosebumps. While we were in today, we also noticed that they had the Scholastic book faire going on (until April 27). Great opportunity to purchase some very decently priced books and help support the library if you don't have young ones in school yet where you could purchase from. read more

Great Library! The people who work here are always so friendly and some I have gotten to know on a first name basis so that when I walk in I am greeted by name. My only complaint is that those using the computers are loud and annoying, making and taking cell phone calls and talking well above a whisper. Worse is that nobody who works there will approach these people to remind them they are in a library. On the good side this library is nice and spacious with several places to hook up your own computer or nice areas to sit and read. They have a great children's section with a large selection of books, several computers and a really nice play area. I highly recommend this library! read more

This library is loud and obnoxious. This is not a place where someone can read quietly or study. It has turned into a circus!! read more

Sutter County Library - Lonely shelves - Libraries Near Me - Yuba City, California

After several years of not using my card for the library. I renewed it in Yuba City and was able to gain access to all I could read, and today, watch. We are now able to take out movie videos for free. But my ability to have access to all of these books blew my mind, why did I stop coming to the library? I used to take at least one book a week in lots of 3 and invariably returned them early. The staff here are typical of what I've found at the libraries here in the US, very pleasant and helpful, especially to an old goat, like myself. I was also able to pay for a further months travel by the local bus company, another good job by the library. Do you have a library card? Why not? It's free, but the benefits are huge. Take a book and have an early night of 30minutes to read and wind down so you get a decent nights sleep. It may stop you from tearing your hair out and to relax, if just a little, just a thought. read more

I am a library regular. I live in South Yuba County, but I've been driving past the Marysville library to go to the Sutter Co library for years because it's the best around. Well worth the extra drive time for me. Good selection & the staff is awesome! read more

Staff is super helpful, lots of great books, books for sale and clean restrooms.

The library overall is aging but clean and quiet. This library has tables in the center space and two separate long tables with outlets closer to the windows. Not once have I ever noticed loudness in this library and the staff are friendly. read more

nice employees great selection for a small town has self. checkout which is great computers tend to be busy and they rent movies which is great read more

Wonderful library. Helpful staff. Wide selection. Parking problem for library patrons due to English speaking class which may have 20+ participants taking up that many parking places and parking places are scarce to begin with. Suggestion is to relocate the class so library patrons can find parking places. After all it is a library first, right? read more

Amazing library! Many books to choose from, many novels, and also offers classes for small children with singing, story time, games, etc.
