The staff was friendly and helpful getting my new library card. It's a nice library with a lot to choose from :)

The little lady Vicky was terrible at the counter. She made my visit very hostile and seemed a little rude. Assuming that I would steal books and not return them. Don’t go here, the Catolog says they have it they don’t. It stinks in there. Always homeless people that smell like pee. Ruins the trip definitely. I’ll be picking a new Library

I recently moved here and am quite disappointed that a city as large as Oakland has such a poor library system. Very few neighborhood branches and a small main library with many dated books and a less than welcoming interior with dim fluorescent lighting and old furniture. I will be making good use of Link+. A cool plus is the tool lending program, which may come in handy in the future.
