Oakland Public Library: 81st Avenue Branch

My go to place! You have to shoot for the hours when kids are not around, or else you'll be having trouble concentrating. They make this place loud. Getting a study room might solve the issue.

I really enjoy coming here, so close to home, but after 3 weeks, I probably won't be back much. Study rooms are available, and the staff is amazing. Literally such kind and accommodating staff. I would score them a 10 out of 5 if I could. The reason I scored it a 2, is because it is literally a MAD HOUSE not a library. As soon as the kids are out of school they are running around, screaming, and just plain LOUD. Cursing and yelling across the place to each other, playing video games and yelling at the screens. Its rediculous. Isn't a library supposed to be quiet enough to study without ear plugs - IN THE STUDY ROOM..?? Not a great place to do school work, if you need to, try to book a study room and come early. Something needs to be done about the volume level here. I think the kids need to be tamed, like A LOT. At least to a RESPECTFUL manner so that adults can enjoy coming too. This place has so much potential, but it shouldn't act as a day care.
