Recently moved to Hemet from Corona last year, what a disappointment this library is. Unhelpful staff and when they do respond to questions most of the staff are patronizing and/or answer in internal library speak. Signing up was a joke, they did not list my email even when I gave it 2 xs to 2 different staff, thus incurring over due charges ( they did rectify it after I complained). Have never been phoned or emailed to let me know "hold books" are there available @least 5 times, and when I asked to see my "reserved/held books the staff stated we don't have the computer capabilities to pull reserved/held books from customer account, I've held so many books I don't remember them all and are never notified or they never come in, I GAVE on that process! The library is depressing, when do the kids even go visit they have such ridiculous visiting times not conducive for school children. Its almost as if the staff want to have the PUBLIC LIBRARY DEAD AS A MORGUE

Good library that has good internet but does not have enough power outlets that are easy to get to and not enough tables (with power) for laptops. Closed 3 days a week which makes it useless for some and the hours are short compared to other libraries. Post pandemic opening up this library is closed except to only check out books where other libraries have fully opened. Very noisy library if you are there to study.

Best library and staff EVER!! Who would have thought that this little city could run and maintain such a nice library? This place is excellent i highly recommend you take advantage of this local gem.

Nice library with good selection of books. It's kept quite clean inside but I have to give it a low score because it smells of urine all around the outside of the building. They obviously have problems with transients hanging around (particularly after hours) and using the property as a toilet. The city needs to take some of those funds that they receive for accepting ex-cons/ transients and use those funds to hire night security.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
