The Library atmosphere is nice . They have conference rooms, computer desks, cafe etc. Parking is available too .Not wide variety of books availability though. It's easier to sign up and get the library card. Late charges are .25 cents per day for books and $1 per day for DVDs. Check out process is also automated through computers and don't have to stay in the lines .

There is a park and playground right in front of the library, and parking is convenient. The children's books section is large and I like it, so I visit often with my son. There are many spaces where you can study individually, which is convenient in many ways. Creating a library card gives you access to online resources. Free Wi-Fi is also available. It's a place I really like!

This library is awesome! I really enjoyed the privacy of the study rooms. One thing that did happen was I didn't have enough money to print. It's not like I don't have money I just don't carry change. So I asked some random lady if she had a quarter and she was more than happy to give it to me. Then one of the librarians came up to me and asked me not to solicit money. I feel like there's a certain way to deal with things. I apologized to the lady if I offended her and she didn't even care about me asking for a quarter. So note to self make sure I have enough change so I don't reprimanded. Sheesh!

People in this library are constantly on the phone, sleeping (snoring), children screaming and running around, people eat, chat, floss teeth… anything goes here. It is a clean library (tables are not cleaned particularly well however), better than Berkeley public lib but I prefer Concord Library because people act with more class and less entitled than WC lib (Way too loud). There is a deputy around, I’m not sure why they don’t establish rules in the library.

It's a very nice Library with friendly staff. Most parking spots are metered but there are some free Library spots. The underground garage has EV Chargers BUT only one works, and it's usually taken. The instructions to download the app are outdated - the stations aren't even managed by EVConnect (on the stickers). If it doesn't work after you plug into the car that means it is broken!

Honestly, not a well-designed library for the purposes of studying or reading. Sound travels very easily throughout the building. Hard to find a truly quiet space.

Great place. Helpful people, clean and everything laid out nice and quiet. Used the computers upstairs (a escalator at each end) and the person helped me with something I needed on computer and showed me how to print it out. There is one assistance computer for handicapped, which is helpful. I was there for a few hours into the afternoon, upstairs there are many bright windows and a beautiful day, it is quiet up there, suddenly a man started to snore. People looked up and smiled, he was at the long window desk, head down and held an open book. Not bothering anyone. Nice place to work and great selection of books. Found out you can sign up for a small room with a computer or a bigger room for a meeting. First come, first serve on that day for 2 hours. Lots of parking. Right next to the park.
