The library at Lake Tahoe Community College has a great atmosphere for people in the Lake Tahoe…read moreCommunity. Not only is it a great place for students to come for a quiet place to study, it is also perfect for anyone looking to use the computers or have a quiet space to work or read. They have free wifi, printing and copying that are only 10 cents a page. They also have fantastic rooms in the back where you can study with a group, or if you just want a private space to be alone and quiet to concentrate. These rooms are such a plus! Where else can you go to use free wifi, but also have a private area all to yourself? In these economic times, money is scarce, renting movies can be $3-$5! But at the library, you can rent three movies at once for FREE! Not to mention, their late fees for books are very low so if you forget to return a book for a few days you wont be paying big bucks. Check it out! As a lover of books and quiet places, I highly recommend.

wanted to update my review. One disappointment is that the free EV charging that used to be…read moreavailable here has petered out and has been broken for months now. There's a sign on it that says out of order. But on the upside I just learned about this 3d printer I couldn't be more thrilled. Yes the library now has a 3-D print lab. They only allow 1/mo and it must be something that was successfully printed from thingverse or similar site. in other words you probably can't just design your own without uploading it to one of those sites first and getting others to successfully printed to show that it's not a disaster and then it is a successful design not that they only offer PLA (Polylactic Acid). It is the standard for library printers because it's easy to use and doesn't give off toxic fumes, it can warp if left in the direct summer sun or high heat though so if you're printing something for use outdoors you may need to spray on a protectant of some sort.

A nice local library worth visiting!…read more The children's library section is HUGE! My kids spent a couple of hours here and didn't want to leave. They learned how to search for books, and were excited with the selections the library had to offer. It's clean, comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful. Will return!

Amazing library. You…read morecan check out books, puzzles, board games, snow shoes, passes for free parking at parks, telescopes, microscopes, art packs, trail cameras, and so much more. They also have cords you can use their for free cell phone charging while at the library. They even have a great bulletin board of all the activities happening in the community. We can't wait to take their class and use the 3d printer. Plus the staff are super kind, helpful and patient. Thank you!

I was here for about two hours on a Wednesday morning, needing some wifi to do some work and some…read morepower for my laptops. I found the library to be clean, comfortable and welcoming. I am not a Truckee resident and did not have any issues connecting to the internet which was speedy and free. The library is decently sized and has all the usual library stuff, including fiction and non-fiction, reference and periodicals. There are computers available to be used though I'm not sure if those are for residents only. I'm not suggesting that there's an exposed power outlet on the back wall of the library but if someone was looking to discretely charge up their RV's onboard battery while using the wifi of the library, they might be interested to know that.

Worst part was it wasn't even civilians being loud it was the staff. And on top of being so loud they were all rude and snappy at the children and other people browsing. If asked to quiet down, they'd ignore you. So disrespectful. It has such potential to be so amazing for the community but it isn't ran well enough to make a difference. Beautiful library, breaks my heart it's ran so poorly.

Compared to the Main Carson City Library, this building is smaller, a bit more modern, and with perhaps a slightly less weathered clientele. There are lots of interesting books and audio-visual in the stacks, but they seem to be a little short with the number of PCs for folks to use. Gayle and I took this trip as we're considering a move to Genoa and Library access is central to any community that we belong. Library staff was very nice and welcoming.

A new building for another generation of Arnold kids to develop a life-long love of reading. :)

My immediate thought was I couldn't believe how much smells like my childhood library. It feels like being in an episode of Between the Lions. The librarian was such a sweet angel, and let us sit inside for hours, just reading and hanging out and resting. It was truly magical inside. I can also just tell how valuable of a community resource this library is--as soon as school got out, so many children came in excited to grab books. I'm going to make a donation as soon as I finish writing this review. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon!!
