Okay, this has the be the cutest library I've ever been to ! Nested in the heart of portola valley…read moreand surrounded by the forest. It's so cozy and inviting. Definitely a hidden gem! 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!

What a hidden gem! This small town library surrounded by beautiful redwood trees is the perfect…read moreplace to read and relax. It's clean, quiet and cozy. Located in Portola Valley Town Center, the building's architecture is stunning on the outside and impressive on the inside as well. Staff are friendly, and the selection is quiet extensive even for it's small size. Plenty of computers available, desks for solo or group work and a 3D printing machine for anyone wanting to give their try at creating something unique. There's also a dedicated room for children and reading, making it an extremely great place for kids and families. Parking is plentiful and the outdoor library benches provide a nice place to also enjoy a book and talk without disturbing others.

This is a cute branch library tucked away in the neighborhood. It's right next to a school and a…read moresmall plaza. There is some seating here and I did see some computers and printers available. 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.

The library has a host of services for books, to videos, computers, printing, maker, spaces, desk for picking up, held items, chargers, meeting rooms, and a whole lot more!

Besides the held item, it's just a pleasant place to visit. I 100% recommended Atherton Public Library! And I don't know why there would be anything less than five stars.

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.
