Dublin Library

The library is an amazing place to cultivate creative thoughts, however, apparently parents enjoy bringing their obnoxiously loud children and letting them run wild like a bunch of wild monkeys. Instead of taking a child outside as they’re screaming and crying, parents allow them to be disruptive and cry their heart out in the middle of the library. The staff doesn’t correct the situation by reminding them that it’s a LIBRARY!!! It’s happened to me twice. One child cried for 20 minutes as if they’re were being murdered. I love children, just not at the library when I’m trying to complete my calculus homework!

Great place to study. great place to bring the kids .ton of reading programs for the young ones and it’s amAzingly clean

Wonderful staff, great collection of books especially children’s books! Good and sufficient seating area where you can easily spend hours. Would love it if kids events are held not too early.

It’s a newer facility with large bathrooms and plenty of tables. The WiFi router is located near the study area, in between the children’s section and the group study room. If you go anywhere farther than that the WiFi is really poor.
They have a large staff here which seem friendly. I left my stuff unattended, unintentionally, for an hour to return to it gone. The staff had taken my stuff and put it behind the counter. I was grateful no one had taken it, but then I was scolded for leaving my stuff there. Oops.
The best spot for great WiFi and to sneakily eat your snacks is in the group study room. Just be aware that people are allowed to talk loudly in there, but it has a nice view of the outside. If the sun gets too bright, just go to the front desk and ask to put down the sun shades.
The Iron Horse Trail runs right behind the Library and the Dublin Police Dept. is located right next door.

Dublin library– Maybe because I have a lost look on my face, but I was immediately greeted and helped upon entering. You are Some of nicest and helpful people ever. Keep it up Dublin library!
Tip: to ensure they have the book you want make sure you search online, put a hold, and they route that book to be held here until you retrieve it!

Plenty of parking, bright and clean building. They have a great selection of new releases and although I often have to put a hold on them– I haven’t had to wait more than a month to get my selection.

Small library with lots of seating. It’s located close to some shopping centers so I sometimes pick up food and come here for a study session. Librarians are cheerful and helped me get my library card in no time at all. They do have a limited selection though.

We came here the other day for the fill-​your-​paper-​bag-​with-​books for $ 4.00 event. We are not members here, so this review is solely from our experience that one day, but it’s all you really need to feel out the library.
To begin, the ladies who were volunteering or working this event on Sunday were so precious. They greeted us with great big smiles, asked how we were doing, and answered all of our questions. She collected our $ 4.00 and we headed into a room to fill our paper bag with some books! What a deal, right?
The room was pretty well organized, too! Books were sectioned off into their appropriate categories. I headed straight for the cook books and found some really nice hard-​covered cook books! They were a few years old, but had a lot of quality meals in them that I will enjoy preparing.
We found a few vintage books which I am infatuated with. I spotted an atlas from 1930 with pictures and lots of really nice information. I don’t know how one could not appreciate the beauty in books that were created so many years ago. They have this magical feel about them, and I think they are treasures waiting to be uncovered!
We had a lot of fun that day, and this was a great way to get the community together for a nice cause. I hope the library made some money from the sale, and that everybody got some good books to add to their home libraries.
This library is beautiful, just so you know. Clean, modern, and very nicely organized; this is perfect for students trying to get some quiet study time. That goes for everybody wanting a place to relax and read or study in peace.

Good selection of new books and dvds. However you need to bring your books and dvds to the front desk to return them if you are returning on the due date or they often get checked in late and end up being past due. Most times they waive the fee but sometimes they are adamant about you paying them even if it was their fault.

What I love about the Alameda library system is how easy it is to reserve books on line. Also easy to get due date warnings.
The librarians have been helpful and patient with my kids. Lots of computers and quiet spaces for studies.

This is a great library. I love how clean, new and the quality of the books here. I also love that they have an easy drive up book return

Libraries reveal a lot about the community its serving and when you walk into the Dublin library, you know there’s a caring, small town feel to it’s sophisticated interior design. The staff is helpful and my children are always preoccupied in the children’s section of the library. Not only that but my kids have taken several classes in its recreational community classrooms. I was completely embarrassed when my overdue fees totaled more than $ 50 but the administrator helped me adjust my fine to below $ 30! Talk about a helpful staff member! This is my favorite library in the Tri-​Valley area!

I love my library! This place is great, great selection, great people, and a great system for getting you what you need. Try the free Overdrive app if you haven’t yet. I love listening to audiobooks on my phone, or getting free books for my kindle.

One of the nicest Library I’ve been to. The people who works here are helpful and friendly. It’s pretty spacious and clean. They often held community classes here. They have private rooms you can reserve as well as many computers you can use to do homework and research.
When my kids were little, I use to borrow lots of educational videos and computer cd’s here. It really is a great place for kids to explore.
One last thing! — They have a clean bathroom — That’s a big plus. =)

Learning/​Reading time!

I guess I just happened to have a rude person assisting (or lack there of) on my last visit.
Came in today around 4:15pm to check out a few DVDs for class.
The Asian woman at the front desk was VERY nice and VERY helpful. The man with the gray hair putting away books was very helpful, as well.
I was able to pay my fines quickly & at the front desk she answered all of my questions.
Okay okay. I’ll definitely be back next week. :)

one of the nicest libraries i have seen in a while. sorry San Jose! Super friendly staff and a huge parking lot. I wish they were open later on Saturdays, but I guess librarians deserve a life too. if i could live here, i would.

— One staff member refused to help me check out my ONE book at the counter and made me walk ALL the way outside and around the building to put my book in the slot for returning books. It was too close to the due date and I wanted to make sure it was recorded as «returned» prior to the due date. I’ve had a previous experience at a different library charging and claiming it was late. Despite already bringing the book to the front counter, this lady repeatedly refused to help me. I would’ve understood if she had a lot to do at that time, but she was just standing at the front desk, waiting and doing nothing. All she had to do was scan one book. Is that really so difficult? She’ll have to do it eventually anyway with all the other books that get returned. The one other time I had asked a different lady (since I didn’t know about the slot at that time), happily helped me return my books. No hesitation, no questions asked. She even gave me a confirmation receipt! That was amazing service. But the second lady, ohhh no.

Am a weekly customer with the kids. They look forward to coming here to select DVDs and books.
Recently I was told that 2 dvds were overdue and I’m sure I returned them. The clerk renewed them giving me a chance to find them. Turns out we didn’t have them I called them and they found them on the shelves.

I met a student here for brief tutoring job here on Wednesdays. Exceptionally brief.
It’s a very nice library with a lot of nice things in it. However, It was really disappointing in their lack different high school text books and other materials. It’s out of the way for me, too. But still, a really beautiful library that I probably would have otherwise enjoyed greatly if it hadn’t been for the fact that I was there tutoring.
