Great, nice and basic library with a wonderful staff. I try to come once a week to work or just read and be without my device. So appreciative it is here.

Me and my kids Love this library and their supper friendly and helpful staff. Can’t wait for it to open to the public again to go enjoy a great book!

The Palm Desert Library is a very pleasant and well-run facility. At the moment it is open under COVID-19 restrictions. Patrons are limited to 1 hour a day. If a patron takes a book off the shelf, it may not be returned, but is "quarantined" for 5 days. I avoided unshelving books by looking them up and reading synopses and reviews on Amazon and only touching a book when I was sure I was seriously interested in it. The library loses a star because of a very small F&SF section lacking many very popular newer books by popular authors.

I was at the library today working on a computer. I needed some help with downloading a document....correcting it...and then getting it back into my email as an attachment. I had no idea how to do this. I asked for help from Susan, the librarian. She knew exactly how to help me and because of Susan, this took no time at all. I would never have figured out how to do this on my own. Many thanks Susan!
