Visiting this library I was mortally affected from the initial visit. Imagine 16,000 square feet…read moreand expansive windows throughout, intelligent use of natural lighting and views on all four (4) sides designed by Ryan Group Architects. Had a request for the Mammoth Library that I thought "No way" would they have this book in a "Mountain Town." Surprised to learn they had the book and finished it during our stay in Mammoth Lakes. Doors were open/closed depending on what day you visited. Kids can hang in the children's library and see "vistas" of Sherwin range on the south side. Class and service are not expletives here but the norm.

Bathrooms are always clean and stocked with tissue and paper towels. There is a water fountain with a bottle fill spout right outside the bathroom. I dropped off my overdue book in the book slot and then we headed to the kids room so the older kiddos could do their homework. No pencils in backpacks, ugh. We borrowed mechanical pencils from the front desk and returned them when we were done. Thank you!

Stopped in to print a document, and encountered the most unpleasant and downright rude front desk…read morewoman, when I asked for assistance with the aging desktop computer. Mind you, I interrupted her, politely, to ask for help, while she was in the midst of a gossip session with another customer. Her pal was the only other person in the place, so it's not as if she were swamped. She made me feel so uncomfortable that I left without completing task. Usually the hallmark of a public library is welcoming and congenial, especially in a small town. Not so the Bishop Public Library. kinda creeped me out.

You can visit the children's area which is full of all kinds of cool books for all youth categories. They have a place for kids on computer. They have movies and DVDs.

This library is located inside of Yosemite National park in the Wawona area. We had absolutely no…read morecell signal in Wawona, so we came over to use the free wifi. The library opens Mon-Friday from 1-6 PM, and from 10-3 on Sat. Closed on Sunday. Check their website in case hours may have changed http://www.mariposalibrary.org/branches.html The staff was very friendly, there are also LOTS of books for sale for .50 and 1 dollar, so stock up while you are here, especially because there is no cell signal anywhere in the Wawona area of the park (unless you are a Verizon customer-we were told, but cannot verify this because we had NO signal at all in the Wawona area and we have ATT and Cricket Wireless. Reading a good book by relaxing in your campsite is a great experience. The library has very good air conditioning, which provided a great respite from the 90+ F heat of the summer, it was a great place to cool off. There are computers for free use and also free wifi. If you are outside of business hours, it is possible to stand outside of the library and still access the free wifi. It may take a few minutes to load, so be patient. You may need to turn on and off your wifi in your phone to reset it so it can detect the network.

So happy that even though it's a small community they are able to have a library. This library…read moreoffers books, movies/videos , cds, access to computers, printers, copiers and fun activities for kids . We are lucky we have family that live in auberry and love to come for the summer shows, this summer we got to see e and m reptile guy( who is awesome, great with the kids and so funny so enjoyable for all) and the bubble guy ( wild child adventures) . It might be a small building but it has a decent amount of stuff plus activities for all ages.

I'm totally biased towards this library, since it's the library I grew up with and frequented…read moreoften. That being said, it's a pretty neat place that's fairly well stocked for being in a rural area. There's at least one book to be found here on most any subject. What really makes this library special, though, is the amount of special events it hosts for the community. Astronomy nights, love music, great teen and children programs, summer reading programs, trips around California....it's fantastic. The community gets really involved with library-related events and it's pretty great to see all these people from different walks of life come together.
