Please increase hours at a few libraries, have a few 24 hr libraries or open very early rather than having so many fancy smhancy branches. Public libraries are the last place where people with no/few resources can gain the knowledge and skills to compete with people with much higher resources. Investment in public libraries have way more multiplier effects and lead to social mobility than investment in roads and fancy buildings. This is especially true in Silicon Valley where the high cost of living keeps people with low resources out. Incumbents will always try to increase the barrier to entry and to create monopolies, and it will protect their interests in the short term. However in the long term, these incumbents who try to build barriers to entry will drive the innovators away to Texas or Boston with much lower cost of living, leading to lower innovation and SV will die a slow death. You as public libraries have this opportunity to lower the barrier to entry and drive innovation and growth in SV more than any other entity, if you chose to take on this role.

I want to give this library five stars. Big big props for its laptop program, and for the best-maintained computers in the area. And it needs to be said that the area includes much richer and techier cities. However however however. It isn't just that you will need earplugs if you go. It's that they probably won't be enough. Storytime is kinda cute, there's a bunch of volunteer tutors, and this library does a fairly good job of serving a very diverse community, and on a shoestring as far as I can tell. However the staff make zero attempt to address raucous teens arguing and even singing unless someone complains, and they definitely don't follow up on the complaints they get. I understand that these kids are better off in the library than out getting caught up in drive-by shootings, but come on. The library is much the worse as a place to study (ie as a library not as a teen center) because of this apparent policy decision.

Fantastic work! Friendly plumbers, low prices, fast service, the works! I've had these guys come out for a couple of different things and they've never let me down. Give them a call!
