Love the updated check-in and check-out system, they're very quick and easy to use. The children's section has some great toys for kids to play with.

Nice place. Good design, a large selection of books. The only thing I didn't like was that there were few places where you could sit down and read. You can also take English language courses there. I really like libraries. It's always quiet here. I love this atmosphere. You can come with children, because there is a lot of interesting things here for them too.

Wonderful library! This is a very new and well equipped library. The building is beautiful and they have an awesome children section where they do several events a week. They have a discovery area and a homework room. The adults section has a good variety and volume of titles and it's very relaxing too. Across the street they have a beautiful and also new park.

Modern design meets creative at this library. There's a floor for Children, for Teens, for adults. There is a café that's part of the building and plenty of space to do your assignments. I loved it. Fancy bathroom as well, 👍

Questions & Answers

when will the new hayward library will open?

AccountantJK Karnani | Aug 25, 2018

The downtown location at 888 C Street celebrated its opening to the public on September 14, 2019, at C and Mission. It is open 11 to 8 on Mon through Wed and 10 to 5 on Thurs through Sat, just like the Weekes Branch, which still faithfully serves South Hayward. The beautiful 3-story new library downtown is adjacent to the City Hall parking garage that can be entered from Watkins or Mission between B and C. On Saturdays, the Farmers Market on Watkins means that entrance is not available. Unforeseen construction delays meant that it wasn't able to be actually opened on Oct. 27, 2018, and that day just offered tours of the first floor, a preview. See our website please.

Do you offer free tax services for low income patrons?

Evette Freeman | Aug 25, 2019
Liam Hawkyard | Aug 25, 2019

The library provides patrons with a number of tax forms but they do not do any tax preparation. I would check the IRS website for information on resources for low income folks.

The library is said to be opening in January. Is it beginning of January or ending?

No but we provide materials for ASL and LINK+ gives access to 40 or 50 libraries all around California.

When does the library open? Because it still looks like it's still on construction

vanessa nguyen | Aug 25, 2019
Kari McAllister | Aug 25, 2019

It will be open to the public in about two weeks. That is the latest word. All past due fees are waived until then. Lots.of.moving parts still being installed and signed off on. It will be worth the wait.

Hi I would like to know if you have interlibrary service with the California State library? Thank you

Olga Mora | Aug 25, 2019
Emily Odza | Aug 25, 2019

Great question. I believe our Link+ system includes 40 or 50 libraries but not the State Library. Confirm with HPL by calling.
