An amazing library with friendly staff and great collection of books. Very easy for the residents (new and foreigners) to get the library card and issue collections. An architechtural marvel and a very nice place to sit and work.

Good but… anybody else notice these gaps?

The Berkeley Public Library system consists of big budget, spacious architecture with a disproportionately poor selection of books. Services at the library are good, but every time they reconfigure the space, which happens much too often, I feel like the selection of books diminishes.

The building may look rather old and historical from the outside, but it's so clean and modern on the inside! I forgot how much I love spending time at public libraries until I came here. All the rooms are labeled and easy to find, and the secured wi-fi connection is smooth as silk. They also have a computer lab area for printing and copying (although I'm not sure if it's free for everyone). Even if you're not much of a book worm, this is still a great place for quiet time with your laptop and a coffee.
