In addition there's a selection of used books and used media for sale. The building is also used as a meeting place for various events.

This is by far one of my favorite libraries in all of East Contra Costa and the San Joaquin region…read more I used to come here often on weekends to study when I was in grad school, and I'm honestly jealous of Mt House residents who have access to a library like this. It's top-tier -- great technology, plenty of different spaces to choose from, and it's easy to find a quiet area without a lot of noise or distractions. The ability to reserve a room is also simple and convenient. As far as I remember from a couple years ago, you didn't even need a library card just to come in and use the space, which I also appreciated. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and I've never had a bad experience here -- not with staff, patrons, or maintenance. I also really respect that they're open on the weekends. Libraries like this are exactly what communities should have and what other areas should model.

My toddler and I LOVED this library. We were visiting my in-laws in Tracy and made the short drive…read moreover to see what this library had to offer. It did not disappoint! We enjoyed the lovely soft furniture, baby board books, and countless puzzles and toys to play with. The Children's area has multiple seating areas and it was nice to have space to spread out with my toddler. The staff was very friendly and the library itself is in a great area next to a park and playground you can visit before or after you get some books. We will definitely be going back the next time we are in the area.

We finally decided to check out the Tracy branch library. I've driven by a million times and never…read morechecked it out. The exterior of the library and the surrounding park are fairly nice. There's a rose garden, some really big trees, lots of lawn and an overall relaxing serene feel. When you walk inside, it's apparent that this library needs a face lift. Fluorescent lighting, old carpet and yellowish paint on the walls. All of the computers were caution taped off and out of order. With that said, if you're stopping in for books or a place to sit with your laptop, they seemed to have a good variety of both books, and seating areas. My daughter loved the large dinosaur in the center of the kids section. The perfect enticing addition for a toddler!

This is an older library in downtown Tracy, and on the hot hot day we visited, it was a cool relief…read moreto stop by. ‍ Everything is older in there, but all pretty well maintained. The children's section is good sized and colorful. There's a good amount of books and half a dozen computers for kids to learn and play on. Next to the kids area is the community room which was having a Friends of the Library sale, everything was 5 for $1! The selection was big, but the items all quite dated or not really the besr stuff, hence the price hehe. The rest of the library is pretty big too, the adult section is large, I didn't see a teens section but it was probably there. Tons of natural light from the windows up high in the main section. It's a quiet and serene place to read and relax. Only thing is the bathrooms could only be accessed by asking the security guard lady to open it for 1 person to use at a time, 15 minute time limit. But they were clean for that reason, not allowing for open access. Overall, this is a decently good library in Tracy that's part of the San Joaquin-Stockton library system.

This is a great library with many valuable resources. However, there are some concerns that could…read morebe addressed to improve the environment for everyone who visits. The area near the entrance is often occupied by individuals who appear to be spending extended periods there and there is sometimes a strong odor by the entrance that makes the space uncomfortable. On one occasion when I came to study, I was unable to find a table with an available charging port for my laptop because several outlets were being used continuously for charging phones. It would be helpful if the library could take steps to better manage these issues and ensure the space remains clean, welcoming and safe for families, students and all community members.

Who doesn't love libraries?!…read more This library is our favorite! It is kept clean, organized, and have a wide variety of children's books to choose from. Staff and volunteers are always helpful. As other libraries, this branch also offer self-checkouts and easy drop offs. They they also offer automatic extension for borrowed items and you can also put books on hold if you are waiting on a specific one. I also had a privilege of using one of the conference rooms with other mom friends to help our kids with their homework. Parking is ample and is located in downtown Brentwood, so you can also shop, eat, play and walk around after. If you also want to support the library, one way is to check out their second hand books on the second floor or donate books as well.

Not only is it location in a very busy area that would make it tough to visit if you aren't able to walk or use public transportation (parking on the street is metered & in high demand and the parking lot is beyond small), but the location itself is quite small. It feels almost like a satellite branch than an actual library. I guess it would be good for just working, but that's about it. It didn't look like it had much of a selection. Finally, I want to believe it was a one off, but the librarian who helped me was the first in over a dozen library visits who wasn't beyond friendly and helpful. She just seemed to not want to be there that day. It just capped off a disappointing trip.

First time I've been to a library that requires you to check in with the police department. I had…read moreto get back in my car drive a few blocks away to the police department which was only labeled by the police cars in the lot. For the new welcoming place for all parking permits it's remarkably unlabeled and not easy to find. Don't go to the main doors of the building go down to what seems to be a lower level area to find the police department. Also write down your license plate number yo save yourself a trip back to your car. I love that everyone just kept saying sorry new rules. Library visits require a visit to the police station.
