Reviewers praise the staff, the children's event days, the free computers and the used bookshop, with study rooms and booths available. Do not count on quiet: one regular describes loud conversation and people sleeping in the back booths, with little being done about the noise.
Right by Civic Center Park on Dale Evans Parkway, this San Bernardino County branch runs free story times and kids' programs and is a cool, quiet escape on triple-digit afternoons. Pair a library visit with the adjacent park for an easy free morning-to-afternoon combo.

The staff is really nice and helpful! There’s designated days you can see ahead of time for children’s events which is cool. I don’t give it 5 stars because you can’t study in there. For some reason the booths in the back are always filled with loud people who go there to soak up the AC or charge their phones and talk loud like if they’re outside or home. When it’s children I understand but grown adults chatting all loud like they dont know any better is annoying l. Also it doesn’t help that the homeless use the back booths to take naps and snore loud. Idk its a good library but don’t anticipate to get a good quiet study session because there’s no one consistently regulating in between events.

Best library around. Come get some books and don't forget to get digital books through libby. Libby is much more useful to me than any other subscription service, even paid ones. Also, if your a CA resident you can apply to other county and city libraries in person and open up an array of options for books.
