    It's "OK" so far…read more.. I have been spending my own time at the library every day, because it is the closest library to commute to. I have plenty of work and I appreciate the quiet environment. Sometimes the librarians are perfectly polite and don't say anything weird, like attempt to spread false rumors about a civilian who has every right to be at the library-- or worse, attempt to ADvertise HeR to strangers (a very clear hello!). Sometimes they are a bit creepy, and it makes me wonder what they REALLY do for work. I am REALLY trying not to make assumptions... but a woman has to watch out for her own safety. There are a few staff who seem to be more mindful and considerate of such. A charger for my mobile phone that I ordered will arrive soon, so there will be no need to interact with them on a daily basis (to borrow the library's). I usually don't pay much attention to others at the library, but I notice that there are students and adults working from their laptops or completing class work. I just do my best to be aware of my surroundings, so that I don't end up sitting near creeps and stalkers. The traffic is quite questionable at times, although much of it has died down (thankfully). It seems that some people walk around the library looking for SOMETHING or SOMETHING TO STARE AT. Such traffic are very uncomfortable to be around-- I thought this was a library, not a zoo or a MARKETPLACE. So I just find a quiet desk to sit at, and concentrate on my work. I have borrowed and read a few books from the library, too. They have a fairly standard selection of a stereotypical American library in 2025 (the YA section is downstairs, whereas ADULT sections are UPSTAIRS). I appreciate the books they carry in the Computer Science section, as I am becoming more Computer Science literate these days (learning how to code, researching and using Artificial Intelligence, etc.).

    A quiet two-story library tucked behind Mountain View City Hall, with a public park. It's more…read morebeautiful than East Bay libraries I've ever been in. No more mentally disturbed/homeless people on site. It's surprisingly busy on the weekends, especially back-to-school season. I love how they have a quiet area with a fireplace, cushy seats, and sunshine shining through the windows facing the park. No talking in this area. The children and teens' section is conveniently located downstairs, which is an ideal location since they tend to talk loudly. Study/meeting rooms are spacious upstairs, but must be reserved ahead of time. Also, the restrooms are clean on both floors. Love the sculpture near the entrance. I can't believe it took me ages to discover this library after walking around Downtown Mountain View for the past two years. There's a parking garage available on the side of the library including street parking. Nice to walk around after dining in nearby restaurants and worth coming back to chill and read.

    The older ladies at the front are not very personable, they are actually very rude. I went in last…read moreyear and the door was wide open and an older lady started yelling at me telling me that they were closed. Told me she would still help me but continued to say they were closed. I dreaded coming in today to borrow a book but needed to. I woke so don't always have the time to go when things are open at the school. I walked in and the ladies who where talking to each other at the front rudely stated telling me the young lady would help. She was very helpful. I told them I didn't have a student ID (I work and it's always closed when I try and get one) said I couldn't check out the book. They said it's a one life time of checking out a book without a student id. Told them I thought it was once per academic year. They proceeded to laugh at me. I walked out as they told me I should come back during their hours to get an ID. Honestly must be nice to be able to tell someone that and not consider they have a job that might not allow that flexibility.

    Awesome quiet library. Used to come here all the time. When it's the first week of school it gets…read morepacked, other than that the crowd disappears. The selection is unique with a few dated materials but nice for the window into the past vibe. They have an online catalog too. The Librarians seem tense so make sure to treat them well, use your manors and pay your fines. They must be alittle tense from all the people they see. They are smart people because to become a Librarian you need a degree. What I like about this Library is their hours. It is the earliest library in the area. So for people like me it makes my life easier. Haven't been their in awhile though.

    Did you know that Campbell Library offers mobile printing? You just access the link for Mobile…read moreprinting on their website. Then, type your Library card number and PIN & upload your files or images. There are two print kiosks, one on the second floor just outside the children's area and there's one down below. I think it's half the cost. I paid only $.10 for two black-and-white copies (it's odd because I looked on their website after it says $.15 a copy so not sure if there's a glitch.) It was super easy to use too. Once I arrived I just walked over to the kiosk and typed in my library card number and PIN & viola. (Their printing is also wayyy more user friendly compared to San Jose Public Library.) There's an option if you don't have a library card (you'll need to go in person and someone will help you navigate it.) And of course you can make copies as well as an FYI anyone can get a library card with a valid photo ID, even if you're out of state. Also, as everyone likes to complain, parking has & continues to be a nightmare, that has never changed lol. I don't know why anyone is surprised? Just park on any of the side streets. Easy. There's lots of side street parking.

    New! Renovations are finished and the Campbell Library has finally reopened!…read more This library has been totally renovated and reopened in May 2026z huge windows, natural light and a feeling of openness abounds. If you have kids, please note that the Children's section is separate from the rest of the library. It is a huge room behind glass doors. It looks quite nice. If I was still a kid, I would have loved to explore this area. The main adult section is downstairs and easy to navigate. I like the Overlook area's comfy chairs and large windows. Kudos to the city of Campbell and all the many sponsors and donors for making this renovated library a reality.
