First time in over 12 years. Treated me like a daily visitor. Within no time I had a replacement library card. Up to speed on using wireless network.

I love that you can request books online and pick them up at this library. It’s such a special place!

Friendly librarians, computers for public use, open tables for collaboration, large children's section, teen room, reference librarian and materials. Most space is designated for talking, but there are traditional quiet areas in the corners. The library fills up with students when school gets out so table space is limited from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. Parking may be difficult around 4:00 p.m. for the same reason. Library hours are different on different days of the week.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How far are you from the Bart station?

Castro Valley Library | Aug 27, 2021

The library is less than a 10 minute walk from the CV BART station and is on the same street. Exit the station and make your way to the street, Norbridge Avenue. Follow Norbridge to the right one block, crossing a major intersection with Redwood Road. Walk two more blocks along Norbridge and the library will be on your left. The library is only open for contactless pickup, by appointment, or returns.
