What's even better is that there's about 6-7 restrooms so it makes a wonderful pit stop! You wouldn't have to worry about a line. It is clean and accessible. The library itself is very spacious, clean, and well stocked with books you need or may be interested in. It has that warm cozy vibes that makes you want to linger . The staff here and wonderful and very nice. But I love that you can wander off in the back and find yourself on a peaceful forest trail. It sure feels like stepping into another world back there. The whole background is very picturesque!

Half of the library is dedicated to kids so there are a ton of kids and some young adult books. There is a decent selection of fiction and non fiction here, more than I was expecting for such a small branch library. I did find some interesting books and I was able to use the self checkout with no issues since I already had a Redwood City library card. They also had a small selection of newspapers and magazines as well!

This address is for the Schaberg branch, not the big main library downtown…read more We come here for baby storytime (2nd and 4th Saturday of the month) since it's the only one in Redwood City with weekend storytime for babies. The rest are all weekday mornings and probably geared towards the stay-at-home-mom crowd. The location is also local for us so we walk here when the weather is good. It's in the middle of a residential neighborhood (West Roosevelt) and near a few businesses (a shopping center with one of our favorite Sushi places, Oh Baby Sushi, a mediocre Rite Aid and Key Market, a neighborhood grocery store that has very good bbq tri-tip sandwiches on the weekends). Parking is usually not a problem, even if you have to walk a little from parking near houses. Compared to the congested nightmare that is downtown, the parking situation here is easy peasy and best of all, free. Overall, the library is decent but small, as expected with a branch building. That said, there's a pretty big baby / kids section with tons of picture books on display and pretty good selections. The storytime lasts until the kids are tired of listening and they go through lots of books in one sitting. There is also a reading program here that logs books read (storytime readings count) and you get incentives for # of books read, such as meals at local businesses like the Old Spaghetti Factory. The downside to having a big children's section is loud children running around if you're trying to get quiet work done. Young adult novels are also plenty. If you have kids this would be a good place to bring them to kill some time and get hooked on reading. Adult / regular bookshelves are less plentiful here so if that's what you're looking for, you're better off at the downtown library or at the San Mateo city library -- both are huge in comparison and have way more seating / workspace.

As my friend Antonio Lopez (mayor of East Palo Alto) reminded me in January of 2024, you'll get resistance any time you try to do good. Yeah, I guess that's how this world works, isn't it? So sad, but true. That's what history has taught us, with a patriarchal power structure, isn't it? Hey, on a positive note, I'm still alive today! Made it much longer than I thought, give the excessive criminal activities thrown at me from all directions. When I was at Canada College during the summer of 2023, I was thinking how fun it'd be to take a debate class... well, my goodness, after endless debates over the past 18 months, I think the combination of my street and classroom skills really paid off. As far as degrees of completion, I am still waiting on my honorary PhDs from several universities... unless they've been delivered to my Redwood City condo without me knowing?

Terrible online orientation. This school presents itself as a good choice for online students, but…read morewhat they don't tell you is that you have to show up in person before you can register for classes AND before you can collect your financial aid. The in-person requirements make sense, but they must include that information during the online orientation. I had to drive three hours to this school, last minute, for identity verification. After I got back home, I discovered I had to drive all the way back to hand in my documents at the financial aid office. Communication with Counseling and Admission and Records is a slow process. There are too many issues to cover, but I'm left with a sense that this school has run out money to pay their staff. It's a nice looking school, but I suspect they may be going through some serious budgeting issues, because they seem to struggle to keep business moving.

Earlier today while I was studying for my finals, I noticed a man staring into my cubicle, which…read moremade me quite uncomfortable. He then came around the corner to stare at me and my work before telling me that I was not allowed to have food in the library. This person did not say hi or excuse me, just began to berate me to make sure I knew he had the power. I did not know the food policy as I am a first-year student and do not go to the green library often. I normally go to the East Asia Library and this is not an issue there. I responded with "okay," he then preceded to repeat over and over again that I couldn't have food, saying "Stanford policy states...." He also said, "you know, this isn't a restaurant." I was understanding at this point, but I began to get frustrated as he was aggressively repeating that I couldn't have food. I was only drinking an energy drink at the time to get me through the day, but I still understood to an extent. He then told me I had to throw it away, which I did, but he continued to stare at me. Additionally, the food cost me $20, so if he had asked me to put it in my backpack, I would have been more than happy to oblige. If he had approached me in a nicer way, I would have been more than happy to put the food away and then I know to never bring food in again. I currently pay for my own tuition and food here, so as a student working minimum wage, I cannot afford to just "throw it away," but this person did not seem to care. If he works at a University library, he should know how to talk to students without being belligerent and patronizing. Because of this instance, I am never going to go into green library again, I'd prefer the East Asia Library because the people there are much friendlier. This person was a smaller man with glasses and was working at around 4 pm 3/18. I have never been more humiliated and looked down upon in my life. The same thing happened to my roommate after she told him she would put the drink away in her bag, but he was rude to her as well. I think green library needs to rethink who you hire and how the workers treat students.
