A sizable amount of my childhood was spent at the libraries in my schools and city. Henceforth,…read moreI've always been partial to visiting these institutions, which led to me selecting this location to collect vote-by-mail (VBM) ballots for the Riverside Registrar of Voters leading up to the Presidential Primary Election in early 2024. I spent many hours observing the patrons and employees, as well as wandering the facility, and these are the results. First, the location is excellent. Not far from the municipal buildings, fairly close to the 91 Freeway, and on the lower edge of the sloping foothills that makes Corona one of the least efficient cities to travel around. Fortunately, the library doesn't share that flaw. Inside is a long hallway lined with the circulation desk and many displays of artwork and Lego models. These are rotating decor, but it's fun to watch kids casting votes for the best item. Another grand hallway joins perpendicular to the main one and this leads to the extensive children's section, and also has passport services and a sizeable Friends of the Library bookstore (separate review for that). Computers, conference rooms, instructional classrooms, and study rooms are available. A couple other favorite areas Include the large boardgame section and Teens area with its impressive selection of Manga anime and studyhall. Even if the same bad middleschool kids got kicked out almost daily for being loud and obnoxious, it was entertaining. A co-worker commented one day after the second or third incident: "There's the instigator, the girl with the red sneakers." Good times. On a personal note, it's nice seeing that some kids still read and enjoy visiting the local library.

You would think the security guard or the workers would say something to maintain the quiet in the library but they don't unfortunately. Maybe, this is a one-off situation but do I really want to test it again or have the patience and time to try again??! I wanted to really like this place and come here to study and work on projects but trying to block out the noise even when I have ear buds on or ear plugs in just does not work. I end up irritable and with sore ears from shoving the buds/plugs deeper into my ears. You might as well go to Starbucks or cafes since the traffic is more or less comparable.

They assisted me with getting my official library card and went the extra mile in getting me a Cantonese language guide that was not on the shelf or checked out. It took them just 4 minutes to go in the bank and locate it. The library is clean and has a lot of sunlight coming in. They have a good variety of books. The patrons at this location seemed respectful and followed the rules. Loved the little Friends of the Library bookstore to the left upon entry that sells vinyls, DVDs and books to support the library. Love the indoor and outdoor parking. Love that the Starbucks is within walking distance as are some lovely restaurants and stores in Victoria Gardens. Loved this Library!!!!!

There's also a DVD section to check out disc and there are also private study rooms. I believe I saw like 3 or 4 rooms.

In the afternoon I got to go inside read with the AC going while I waited for my sister to pick me up. They currently did an upgrade on the chairs, which is a nice touch. They have 3 study rooms in he back, you just have ask to see if their available. They do have wifi and computers available for you to use on the spot, you just have to log in with your library card. I like this branch because it's connected to so many other one's in the Riverside county, if there is a book I can't find in this location one or many of the other branches will have it and all I have to do is put a hold on it. It will be brought over to Glen Avon and I'll pick it up. I mostly do all my searching and renewals online.

I really can't justify spending money on boba or coffee anymore just so I can do homework. I found this library by chance, I am very surprised that they are opened on Sundays.

Staff here are nice too. These are the data centers that we need to fund.

Now that I'm older it feels smaller but it has plenty of space for studying and just getting away from your family when you're visiting from out of town during the holidays and getting work done. It's a great 3rd space that's not a coffee shop. I visited this location on the weekend and I was able to concentrate and get work done at one of the cubicle desks. There were outlets in each one so I had plenty of places to charge all my electronics. The area I was in was very quiet so it was ideal for concentration. I recently worked out of the Ontario library and while that one is bigger, it's more crowded and not as clean as the Rancho library. I would definitely recommend this space for studying and it's great for young kids as they always have events going on here throughout the month!
