    I had a very bad experience with this location. I came in take my ticket wait for 45m. The lady at…read morewindow 1 asked me my information and my zipcode. I explained my situation about my parents that they lived in a foreign country so I just need a general information to help them plan and what IDs do they need to bring. The employee kept cutting me off said that she can't tell me any information which is understandable and I'm aware about the privacy rights. She told me my dad need to come to the "local" office that he lives and said my zipcode is different. Instead of helping and advising they just told me that my parents need to brings their IDs that it. I'm not asking her to go to my parents profile or social to gave me the information. All I'm asking is show me like a flyer or where to find information, answering general questions for example how many ID do they need to bring, what type of IDs will be acceptance and what ID will not be acceptance. I tried to repeat 2-3 times my questions but she did not let me finish it. My parents are elderly, and they will travel very far to get their benifits done so I hope the employees be nicer to people to save time for others.

    Wish I knew and visited this library with my kiddo before. My son is 1.5 years old and started to…read morelove reading books and listening to me and his teachers book reading to him. We have lot of books at home but he's bored of them. My friend recommended we take my son here and I am so glad I visited today. The play area for children is super fun. There are tons and tons of books. Didn't get to browse as I came only an hour before closing. I really wish their weekend hours are longer. 5pm is early. I am a huge book nerd myself and read hundreds of books in my teen years. Library is my happy place. Happy that my son is enjoying books as much as I do. Will visit again, get membership and start lending books frequently.

I tried bringing my 3 year old to storytime, we arrived 20 minutes prior to the library opening, stood in line only to be told my child is too old for their storytime and their curriculum is designed for only 1 or 2 year olds. It's a storytime, you're reading books and singing songs, and you're denying a 3 year old from participating? No where on your online listing does it state an age restriction. It's an age recommendation not restriction. If you are restricting to certain ages then please update your posting so you do not waste people's time. It's already enough effort getting our children ready, taking them to the library and arriving early only to be turned away. We will NOT be returning to this library. I recommend checking out the Newark, Hayward downtown, Hayward weekes or Milpitas library all as alternative options. They have great storytimes that we have attended before without any issues.

    What can we really say about Fremont other than...It's Fremont. I went to Azevada elementary school…read morefor several years in my former/younger life here. If you're not over 40, we didn't go there at the same time. lol I have fond memories of fremont from my youth, that include The Fremont Hub, NewPark mall, and a lot more...but it's very different today. I've noticed it's become less diverse and a lot different. Still a cool place to visit, not the hub of entertainment, but safe and quiet for the most part. It has a beautiful landscape as most cities in the bay that run along the foothills and bodies of water at the same time.

    Fremont is a dump, with leadership that doesn't give a damn about the residents. The mayor, Raj…read moreSalwan, is only good to take pictures in front of "grand openings," but when it comes to doing actual work or to respond to residents, he can't be bothered. The city leadership and mayors have been awful for years and thanks to these losers, Fremont has nothing to offer. Restaurants suck, there's absolutely NO shopping for clothing (unless you like misfit crap from Ross or Marshall's), and no activities for families. The city is dirty, has overgrown weeds everywhere, and don't even get me started on that eyesore off of 680 by Auto Mall Parkway. What is that abandoned mess all about?? Why are there all these green lanes for the 2 bike riders in Fremont?? And what's with the no-right-turn curbs everywhere??! it's claustrophobic and unsafe...you can't get out of the way for emergency vehicles! I've lived here long enough to know nothing will change because the leadership doesn't care. As long as they don't have to look at it from their mansions and they are getting paid, nothing to see here!

    I would like to bring to your attention an issue we experienced during our visit to the DMV on…read moreMarch 6, 2026, around 3:50 PM. The employee who was distributing ticket numbers at the front desk was unfortunately very rude and dismissive toward us and several other visitors. When we approached the appointment line, she did not acknowledge us. When security informed her that we were present for our scheduled appointment on time, she told the security officer to "zip it" and continued to ignore us. When she refused to issue our appointment ticket, I politely asked what the process would be to schedule another appointment. At that point, she told us that we were "annoying" and asked us to get out of her face. The security officer, who had witnessed the interaction, kindly allowed us to enter the shorter indoor line because she felt we had been treated unfairly. When we eventually reached the same employee again to obtain our ticket, she spent several minutes berading us insisting that we did not have the required documents and repeatedly told us to go home and return another day. I explained that I had spoken with a DMV representative on the phone beforehand and was told that all documentation was already on file and that we only needed to bring our ID. Despite this explanation, she continued to dismiss us and used disrespectful language toward us. After several minutes of dismissing us and telling us that we were wasting our time and hers, she finally issued our ticket. When we were called to the service counter, the DMV representative simply checked our ID and informed us that our driver's license would arrive in a few weeks. The process itself was straightforward once we reached the counter. I would like to note that the security officer and the DMV representative who assisted us were both polite, helpful, and professional, and we truly appreciated their assistance. Unfortunately, the initial interaction at the front desk delayed our visit significantly and created a very negative experience. I respectfully ask that management review this situation. The individual responsible for greeting customers and distributing tickets is often the first point of contact for visitors, and it is important that this role be handled by someone who treats the public with professionalism, respect, and courtesy. We understand that the DMV can be a busy and stressful environment, but visitors also take time out of their day to attend their appointments. We hope that in the future this position can be staffed by someone who is knowledgeable and courteous to the public.

After they took my passport "could not find it" until the employee who had it last got off her lunch break it magically reappeared. Said I left it in the parking lot. I honestly dont know how that place is even open. Do not trust anyone who works there. Expect the security guard she was very nice and the only person who's a conscious human being. The even crazier part one of there in employees while im getting yelled at by another comes up to me and tell me that Jesus loves me. Like are the using drugs what in the church separated by state is going on over there. I almost called the cops on them. I finally retrieved my passport back. I do not recommend any1 ever go there for any reason but to shit them down. What a sad excuse of California hard earned tax dollars just verbally acosting customers.

Surrounding the old house is a Victorian garden with beautifully shaped boxwood hedges and the paved plaza with lots of seating areas. Bird of Paradise and some well taken care of lawn also present. Seems like the city of Fremont was given this house years back and it has been a long time since they put any money into it. I'd like to see some more life put into it beside the odd homeless sleeping on the porch. Maybe your getting new tires at Americas Best or perhaps your lady friend is digging through piles of junk at Ross and you'd rather hang out with the homeless here than watch her... Tons of parking as the strip mall is also a neighbor. If your in the area explore a little but don't make a special trip for this spot.

The park is small and somewhat clean with not much to it except for a couple benches, a drinking fountain, and homeless people sleeping around it. It's not a one star because besides the homeless people and uninviting house the area is not bad and I like the quietness mixed with the sound of cars driving by. If it was cleaned up I'm sure more people would come by.
