Alameda County Library

We have been going there for half of year and have had to deal with unpleasant and rude staff. This last weekend I decided that it just was not worth the aggravation (the rudeness, the crowded and disorganized environment, the over-crowded parking lot). The North Berkeley library may be much smaller but at least the people are professional and the friendly. more

I like visiting Fremont library every week.It carries highest circulation of books. Library carries variety of media and the option of renewing and getting book on line works wonder. It also has special features like Fukaya Public Meeting Room , Story time amphitheater for kids where kids and parents have v nice time usually on tuesdays of each week, free public Internet stations, Quiet study rooms and public Use Computers. more

If you're new to the East Bay or just haven't been to the Alameda County Library yet, the very first thing you should do is head to one of the 10 branches scattered throughout Alameda County and get yourself a library card. In addition to sporting an incredible collection of books, magazines, newspapers, cassettes, CDs, DVDs and movies, the library also sponsors a wide array of community events including everything from homework help and legal advice to knitting clubs and sing-a-longs. Also, for convenience, use their website www.aclibrary.com to reserve materials (such as books, DVDs and CDs) and have them delivered to your local branch. You are notified via email when your materials are available so you'll never have to waste a trip. more
