SO FAR SO GOOD, I JUST GOT MY CARD FOR NOW.

So I'm really trying to wrap my head around poor customer service. I chose to bring my business to you. I do not have to pay a visit to your establishment. So when I come simply to get a library card there is no need for you to push me to the side, slam an application on the counter, tell me to fill this out, don't give me a pen, then proceed to help the next customer. Then when I asked if I may please have a pen, she slams a pencil down in front of me. Wow, just wow. Surely wasn't treated poorly in any way at the Camarillo Library. Won't be back. Too bad because it looks like a very nice library for the 5 minutes I saw it.

I took my 2 toddlers , to the storytime they host for toddlers every week. The Philippino lady who was doing the storytime has no patience for toddlers , I won't be coming to this library anymore.

Yes, we do have an ongoing book sale in the gift shop. The books in the sale are ones that patrons have donated, or books that we are discarding from the collection. We are not Barnes & Noble, so you will not be able to find the new bestsellers or anything like that. But you will come across lots of other cool, interesting finds!

Oxnard Public Library - Main Library | Nov 14, 2021

Hi Joy, The Oxnard Public Library has been closed on Fridays since 1992 and Sunday closures were started a few years ago due to staffing shortages. If you have questions all of the phone lines have voice mail and staff will return your call on the next business day. The Library also has a robust set of resources and materials that may be used 24/7 online via the website oxnard.org/library.
