3.5 would be my rating for this library.The staff and librarians are fantastic - Quite helpful and welcoming.The space and overall feel is lackluster. You are met with a stuffy and musty smell as you enter, and traversing the library often an unpleasant smell of body odors around homeless individuals sleeping or passing time. The lighting is a bit dim for my liking so makes it a little hard to browse for books or read. This is likely due to the overall lack of natural sunlight.A notice to share is many of the childrens books weve checked out arent treated kindly by readers. Tears, scribbles, etc that yes are to be expected but seems to be found at a higher rate than at other libraries. The other side of this, to be fair, is there are a fun assortment of kids educational tablets, games, etc. that are very appreciated.The selected reads for heritage months are done quite well and do a great job highlighting books from diverse authors and underrepresented backgrounds.To sum it up, and I believe this is already in the works, but the people are fantastic - the building needs a makeover. Its my understanding that a new Sunnyvale library is slated for construction in the next couple of years which will probably fully resolve the critique notes on the space.Thanks to staff and librarians for doing a great job keeping the library tidy and being helpful to guests!

First time here, my daughter has a research project for her final due this week. The place is warm and welcoming.I like how spacious and open every place is that you really cannot hide if you were someone there doing mischievous things.Enrolling was super easy and comfortable at the customer service desk. A man helped us and was very helpful, so thank you 🙏🏽.We explored the library on our own and had a difficult time locating books we needed for her research project. They have readily accessible computers you can use to search the library catalog and I found 5 books within 1 minute on the computer and shortly after we located all 5 books and were so happy.I love how quiet the library was, very clean and organized. I love my local library 📚.

What a wonderful library. Has a huge book collection and ample space for working on your personal project. There is a special section for children and is very lively. This library also houses books in various foreign languages and is a must visit for anyone who enjoys reading in a quiet space.

Pros: it is big, spacious, has books and other type of supports (,eg. eBooks). There are PC with internet connection, and an easy-to-connect wifi! The kide area is large, has many little tables and an area for infants too. There is plenty of parking.Cons: it takes time to understand how it is organized and how to find the books based on their references, but not a big deal, because the librarians are very helpful!

We go there weekly for toddler story times and always stay a bit longer for some book reading. It is a very nice place to hang out and socialize with other mums and toddlers.

Really good experience. The staff were very very friendly and helpful. They even came with me to search for books.The only cons I found is the availability of some popular books in the library. But you can definitely hold it.So unless youre a big get in and get the book asap type of user, you will love it.
