Underrated library. Plenty of parking. The quiet study cubicles are actually quiet. I get a lot of work done here

Too noisy. Especially places that should be for quiet studying. The Staff is not at fault though but the people that come here to study quietly can't get that because of others being way too loud.

Well-used library for the Dougherty Valley area. Lots of reading, educational, and community programs for all ages. Throughout the week, there are various 30 minute Storytimes sessions for babies through preschoolers, that involve singing along, reading out loud a couple of age appropriate books, getting the kids and caregivers up and dancing, and always giving out stickers to all the kids who attend at the end. The library offers after school activities and a safe place for kids to do their homework, such as after school movies, STEM activities. It also offers group English Conversation meetings for people who want to practice their English during the month. Monthly Book Club. Saturday Chess Club. And special events /programs such as the Summer Reading Program, Live Music, and cultural /seasonal events throughout the year (Chinese New Year, Christmas Tree decorating, book readings, etc.) Automatic sliding doors make it easy for people who are disabled or people pushing strollers to enter or leave the library. Great selection of DVDs, magazines to check out. Library, overall, is quiet. Plenty of outlets for laptops and some "quiet rooms" to meet and study/work in as a group. Great kids section. Plus there are toys, wooden puzzles for kids below Kindergarten age can play and learn from. The cons: Library is small for the growing size of people living in the Windermere and Gale Ranch areas that this place serves. It can get crowded at times throughout the week. Finding parking can be extremely tough during the school year, especially in the mornings, because this library is located in the same complex as the DVC campus.

I walk up to the counter and wait for the woman behind the desk to look up from her computer. She finally asks if she can help me; I tell her it's my first time here. She asks if I have a library card. I remind her it's my first time. She asks me if the address on my drivers license is current; I say I have a mailbox there but I don't live there. She tells me she can't help me. Go to your second nearest library. Never seen such a rude librarian. She seemed relieved that she didn't have to help me. Her first and foremost concern was to try and turn me down.

Literally half the librarians don't even care about customers. Half the time when a customer needs assistance they say they are busy, and they kick everyone out of the lab everyday after some laughs. Like really? Especially the black haired tall one, she acts like she does not care about anyone and just does what she wants. Nothing would make me happier that seeing her get fired.
