Great library. It's spacious enough to find a nook in the library to read or get some work done quietly even when it's busy. Friendly staff is always available for help. I'm going to take 1 star from this review because of the bums. 

Bums are ruining the library experience. They are smelly, drunk, loud, creepy and just bad for the library overall. As an adult male I can look past all that. It's not good for children though.

Looks nice outside and in, they maintain it very good. It's nice and quiet great for reading. internet sucks $2 an hour and no wifi. They need to get with the times public WiFi is a must.

I couldn't find the Oxnard dictionary ANYWHERE in this place.  I asked for help but nobody seemed to know where it was located.  I wanted to try to get a word added to the Oxnard dictionary.

I enjoy this library; plenty of resources and nice librarians who are experts at finding what I need. 

But it's sad to know the unpleasant  experience of a mother and children at our very own Public Library? !

Dear IRASEMA AVILA:
Your family should be able to enjoy a  positive and pleasant place in your own community..
Have you considered taking your library review to the Media?
They'll be glad to look into the truth of the matter and will likely result in positive changes for all.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 😇

I would not award them any stars.  I am very disappointed with this library.  They are not honoring their mission statement.  They are not providing free and equal access to resources or services.  I just relocated to Oxnard and I don't have access to a printer at home.  I went to the library to print out paperwork that I need to enroll my son in preschool. I took my 3 year old son in the stroller.  When I entered the computer lab I was informed that strollers were prohibited.  I was also informed that I would not be able to use the computer since their policy "printed in black and white" indicates that there is only "one person per computer" and my 3 year old son and I count as 2 people. By the way, this policy for the computer lab is not posted on their website.  It is posted by the computer lab.   I informed the attendant that my son would not be accessing the computer.  The attendant then informed me that I would have to use the computers outside the lab and that he could waive the two dollar fee.  Yes that would have been fine, but in the future when I go to the library with all of my children I will be restricted to use the computers outside of the lab and pay two dollars an hour.  This is a discriminatory practice against families. 
     This is incredibly disappointing.  My kids love spending time at the library.  I will not be a patron at this library or any of them in the county for that matter.  I will not allow my children to be patrons either.  I will not support an institution that has such discriminatory practices against families.

Mission statement--"The mission of the Oxnard Public Library is to enrich the lives of our diverse community by providing free and equal access to the resources, services, and programs that encourage life-long learning and lead to future success.

Offer open access to all library resources  
Provide quality customer service  
Lead the way to life-long learning"
