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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
