This review is only for the Musical Storytime for young kids in the morning (mainly geared towards…read more4 and under). Lynn, the librarian who does this musical storytime is entertaining and fun. She has the songs on the screen so you can follow along. It's great that she sings the same core songs so everyone gets to know them and sing along and enjoy. It's also great that she plays a clear ukelele while singing the songs. Occasionally she might have some simple instruments to share with the young ones. You can grab a blue mat to sit on the floor during the half hr story time. During the summer, the room gets pretty packed so it's advised that you arrive on time or seating is limited. It sometimes gets a little noisy because it's hard to keep young babies from screaming and crying, but it doesn't bother Lynn. She keeps going. Lynn reads a few books in between the singing. At the end, all of the little cuties go up to Lynn and get a sticker...something they all look forward to and enjoy.

The fireplace in the back is an especially nice, cozy area…read more Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, the unruly adolescents and their shenanigan make trying to work/read a problem. We appreciate this library and hope they find a way to address this issue so everyone can enjoy their experience.

One of the better Libraries I've been to in awhile. It's very clean, the librarians are very…read moreknowledgeable and are always wanting to help you. I love taking my kids because they always have an activity for them and it makes them feel good afterwards.

Friendly staff, quiet when I have been there, computers run at a good speed (not too slow like some…read moreother libraries), nice and cool inside on a hot day. It's tiny with not many selections due to the size, and the parking options could be better. True, you can get items on hold or transferred from other libraries, but it might be nice if it were larger. I guess there's not much you can do about the size though.

On the day I went, a large group was gathered in one of the rooms for what seemed to be a music recital show, where everyone watches one person (child) perform their instrument at a time. Good community Children's area with books and places to sit Very quiet and peaceful even on the weekend which you would think would be a lot busier Maybe because so much space to spread out you don't ever feel crowded Good selection of books. The arts and craft section had a good amount of choices Easy parking, free

This was such a beautiful library! There was a small cafe area, plenty of places to sit, and lots…read moreof computers. There was an interactive area for children to hang out, and there were plenty of conference rooms. It looked very updated and modern. Would recommend for studying or working.

This is a very large library wherein every individual section is bigger than other libraries. They also have a fine selection of books in Chinese. For locals they have a great place where nice events are held at this branch. Bathrooms are well maintained although there were a few glitches with the men's room. Not sure what happened but it was pretty minor. Unlike my local library printing is free. Yes I get mine has like budget issues but like how this one is very well stocked. Would come here again if I could Drawback: On Saturdays, it can be rowdy here because there will be kids of all ages wandering around. Younger kids can and may make a lot of noise.

Check the calendar. Something cool is always happening at your local library The library is right across from the Leo Ryan park which took me a few yrs to realize even though I go to the lagoon all the time haha Parking is easy except for special event days because people who don't visit the library will park in their lot, despite the sign that tells people not to do that specifically

It's a super cute kid's lending library that's always stocked with some great titles for kids and…read moreyoung adults (I've checked several times). Sometimes there's weird real estate brochure things in there but otherwise it's a great little mailbox-y lending library right in the center of Patricia Warton Park. Keep an eye out because the next time I'm in the area I'll be dropping off some pretty sweet manga... that I just want to clarify is not mine, though I feel like I'd be perceived as being a lot cooler if it were.

Employee Review - Admin assistant…read more I had the pleasure of working for NDNU's admissions and marketing team when they fully transitioned to a graduate university. Being a part of a huge shift was a learning experience and I was grateful to have had the support of several department heads. No one talked down to me or made me feel less than. Working on a campus surrounded by nature and spotting a deer on the daily brought me a sense of presence and peace that I enjoyed on my breaks. I would have stayed with NDNU but I moved out of the SF Bay Area. I enjoyed working with all the faculty and staff, but I especially enjoyed supporting current and future students. Though I was never a student I was impressed by the attention to furthering one's education by promoting small class sizes. What a way to feel seen and heard! Anywho, I'm rambling. If you have an opportunity to attend NDNU or work there, don't hesitate to apply. 4 stars because pay could be higher to meet cost of living in California.

I absolutely love this school. I will be walking the stage this Saturday, shaking hands, accepting…read moremy diploma, and tossing my cap way up in the sky! Finally, I'll be done. ((sniff sniff)) A few years ago I completed my Undergrad in Accounting & Finance here. Last December, I completed my last Graduate class. (Graduation ceremonies occur once a year in May.) NDNU is located in Belmont, surrounded by lush trees, wonderful weather, pretty animals, and even a beautiful mansion (Ralston Hall). NDNU has an extensive faculty of distinguished staff and professors with prestine wisdom and experience. The MBA program follows a stellar curriculum, applying assignments and projects to current, real world/global issues. Another great thing about NDNU is it's comprised of well diversed students with different backgrounds. Having such a diverse group enhances your education and brings more experience to the table, which is required in our global economy. Tuition at NDNU is definitely on the pricier side. However, this is a private university and it's worth it. Classes are intimate, enabling students with the luxury of a more one-on-one type of education. Students are not considered numbers here, but rather treated as well respected peers. Regarding education, you get exactly what you put into it. Each person may have their own opinion of this school, but what really matters is what you take away from what you've learned. NDNU has provided the necessary tools (ie staff, professors, and program), now it's up to each student & what they want to do with it. P.S. I am so done with writing school papers!

Y'all better be supporting and using your public libraries! It's just fabulous.
