Coming here as an adult recently I brought along memories of coming here as a child with my…read moregrandmother for storytime. Sure,since then it has been remodeled, updated, and modernized. No more card catalogs or microfilm readers. Instead it has been taken over by homeless people using the bathrooms, charging their phones, sleeping in the chairs, and I witnessed one man rolling a joint. The library did not smell of old books, it smelled of urine, alcohol, and cigarettes. I was given my library card after filling out the application, I took a quick tour around,and I left. There is no way I would want to come back.

The place has great connectivity because the transit center is right across from the Santa Fe Trail, which is another great connection. The Wi-Fi is easy to use. Also the front desk people and the guard are nice. I would give this a 4. it's just really the homeless people that are a problem.

I value libraries too much to give bad star reviews, but I also want to complain a bit. My friend…read moreand I drove two hours in the morning to get some stray kittens neutered in Porterville. We arrived very tired, but still read while we waited to pick up the kittens. Dozed off for maybe 5 or 10 minutes, and a staff member came up to wake us up and warned us not to fall asleep in the library. There were folks with open cans of soda and sandwiches the table over; I don't know why she felt the need to give a friendly reminder to us specifically, and I had never heard of such a rule in any library. Anyhow, I think Pepsi is a bigger danger to books than putting your head down for a quick nap. I am glad it's there regardless. The Instagram page is cute, and the resources/events they plan look beneficial. I thought the kids' section looked well-stocked and much more diverse than I had grown up seeing.

The landmark library we had my whole life until it was set on fire by some juveniles and tragically…read morewe lost two firefighters in the fire was wonderful. This temporary library hopefully will be a hub for families and not a hang out for transients like you see already outside because they moved the location to a shopping area that has transients there daily because of the bus stop and health clinic within walking distance. The outside does not depict the previous library but has a grammatically incorrect sign and color scheme that is not conducive to a library but matches the WIC or Welfare buildings. I really hope the permanent library will resemble the beautiful library we had before the fire with a spot for genealogy like they had upstairs and the area for students to work and clubs to meet. It was a hub for the community and met so many various needs from the wee ones to the elderly and always was clean.
