First time visiting the Baker Branch!!! This library's architecture has a lot of character. It's…read moredefinitely a smaller branch, but I enjoyed stopping by here today. The books are well organized for easy browsing, and an online catalog available as well. The main area has round tables and tables with outlets for charging laptops or devices. There's also a computer lab here too. I was able to participate in their monthly bingo session. That was so much fun. I'll be back here soon to get my Laufey library card.

Before there was internet, I loved going to libraries. Nowadays, though, most folks use the…read moreinternet to research and not the libraries. This library on Baker St. does have a few computers so you can surf the net as long as you have a library card number. I stopped by recently because I had some time to kill before going to work. This library is only open twice a week. Currently, they are open Mondays and Tuesdays from 11am to 6pm. The most impressive thing about the Baker St. Library is the architecture. It opened on July 8, 1915 so that makes it 109 years old!!!! Wowza!! In April 1981, the Baker Branch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places!! Very impressive!! Come and check them out!!

I have not stepped foot into a library in about 12 years! I use to go every other week but once I…read morehad kids, there just was not enough time. In this day and age, everything is done online...including reading a book. I exclusively use the kindle app which means I'm usually reading on my phone or one of my kindles. A few months ago my Hoopla app stopped allowing me to rent books so I was forced to go to the library. Although there are not nearly as many books in the library as there were in my hey day, the library was extremely clean and very well organized. I got myself all squared away but will be returning soon to sign my kids up for their library cards especially after seeing their extensive manga section, which they both love.

This is my kid's favorite place to go in town. They're so friendly stuff.

They have a great playroom that people can be imaginary. My kid doesn't even pay attention to book so it's nice to have a book and then read for like a minute or so haven't played for a couple minutes and have them read and go back back-and-forth. It's a really good time to have outside and not in front of the screen.

Today a friend mention that they were having a special arts event so I took my little ones. I must say, if you don't know what to do in Bakersfield with your kiddos, check your local library. They have many events going on at all times of the year. During summer, they become the perfect place to go read a book while your kids enjoy a book, arts & crafts, or lunch. Yes, during summer they serve lunch at all the Kern County libraries! Today we were lucky and got to be part of a raffle in which they gave away a bubble maker and several books. They even gave all the kiddos who were there a choice of two books to take home. Free! My daughter was super excited since one of the options was from the series she is currently reading! Now to the bad part, their schedule. They are only open 3 times a week. Not sure if they are the only library with that schedule but is very inconvenient. Overall, the staff is great and the premises are clean and ready to welcome bookworms of all ages!

The staff are very involved and attentive and readily answer questions and go out of their way to help you. I wasn't aware, but they have an event almost every single day during the summer. It is also a summer lunch site and I didn't know that either my two sons were signed up for this summer reading program and they can earn a prize for reading 10 books or 10 hours. I was worried it would be smelly and have homeless people hanging out all over the place, but it wasn't like that at all. We will definitely be coming back on the regular.

We happened to be there on a perfect day when High Desert Falconry visited for an educational program. It was so amazing learning about these beautiful birds. We learned so much from the husband and wife team. Definitely check out their website for any upcoming events. During the summer, they also have a lunch program for the kids from 11:30 to 12:30. This is the last week they are having it. It starts when the kids are out of school and runs to the end of July. That is, if they receive the funding to offer it. Hopefully they do, because it's so great. 7/23/25
