Have you been to the folsom library? Here, on my busiest day, I come with my little ones holding…read moretight to my hands. When I'm here, I feel my eyes meet the window and books. Few days ago, although I was so exhausted but my little ones needed to borrow books no matter how tired I had to put on that mommy energy and get them here. I sat next to the window, watched through the window cars passing and enjoyed the outdoor lush beauty. There was a magic, no phones, library silence, row of books that stand like silent companions and each holding a world within the spine of books. At least the books are silent not like manager's, they don't ask how fast can you work on this. I feel library is a safe space, read, wander with imaginations, crave for more and eager to read next book from the series and let your brain learn new words or emotions through the book. Growing up, I was happy whenever the library trailer book bus came to our school. We never had library while growing up, so I looked forward to borrow book's when the library bus came. I clearly remember one time, my favorite book was dinosaur book. I renewed twice because the story was my favorite. And I'm glad my kids enjoy reading and thanks to the public library, we've borrowed thousands of books. And without the library, this wouldn't be possible without breaking the bank. And thanks to the library, we can borrow from different branches. They make it possible for kids to read and grow. All I want to say, thank you! You are making a big difference in our lives.

On this lovely Sunday that we visited, we came not long before closing, but it's opened from 1-5 on Sundays so that's still pretty good, plenty of time to enjoy this library. Although it's not a very big library, it has everything you'd expect from one. Upstairs is the teens and adult sections, pretty typical areas with lots of fiction and non fiction books, but there's also nice views of the lake and greenery outside the library from this upper floor. The main floor downstairs consist of the children's section and it's bright, clean, and colorful. On this floor, you'd also find that the space is pretty big and has lots of books for kids of all ages, as well as bathrooms, meeting rooms, a Friends of the Library book sales store, the main info desk with friendly library staff, and has all the comprehensive resources you'd expect at a library. Overall, we enjoyed visiting this library again even though it's not our first time, but it's still as nice as before, with a calming palette of colors inside and nice natural landscaping outside, making this a truly quiet and peaceful retreat in the middle of the bustling little bedroom community of Rocklin, CA in Placer County.

Definitely a great place for gardeners who want to try new seeds. Thank you, Orangevale Library!

Adj: informative and sufficiently comprehensive…read more An older branch of the Roseville libraries, but a good one! I've been here once before a couple of years ago, but recently, we wanted to stop by again. The library is NOT part of the Placer County library system, which was pointed out to me (I already knew, but it was good to be reminded) as I signed up for a Roseville library card! Did you know that as a CA resident that you can sign up for a library card at locations NOT in your county/city of residence? Yup, you do have to return physical items to one of the branches of whatever library system you borrow from, BUT if you were just using their e-materials like Libby or Hoopla, then it's NO problem! So I decided I wanted another library card, so I quickly applied online (short form) and then went up to the information desk and the librarian/assistant attentively helped me right away and gave me an overview of Roseville's library offerings as well as rules and regulations (and fees/fines). Unlike many other library systems, they DO have late fees here, but I don't plan to borrow physical books or any other kinds of tangible materials, so I won't have to worry about that. Onto the library itself. One side is books for adults (I hesitate to write adult books lest people misunderstand, lol) and there are many shelves of grown up books, so their collection seems quite comprehensive. Next, there's a shelf of Friends of the Library books for sale, not a whole lot, but a respectable amount. Then there's the kids section on the opposite side of the library, and there's a good amount of book stacks on shorter shelves that do not block the view of kids which I finally noticed is the case at like all libraries, lol. Not sure why I never made that connection before. It's a smaller children's area than other libraries, but they tried to make it more cheerful w/more colorful furniture and decorations/posters on the walls. There are also kids' computers that only kids can use so that's good. Finally, there's a community room that's pretty big for meetings and if you want to have a private event or party, it seems you can rent it for reasonable rates (see pics). Outside of that room, there's a courtyard, but I didn't see a way to get out there as the door leading out was locked, maybe it's only for staff to hang out and eat lunch in? I'm not sure, but that meeting room has a lot of nice natural light streaming in b/c of the floor to ceiling windows. Overall, this is an older, but well maintained and kind of quaint library next to Maidu Community Center which is inside the Maidu Regional Park (which I've not yet explore, maybe next time). PS - obligatory bathroom visit: clean, but older, some rust on the metal doors/walls, could use an update on some of the facilities, but everything was functional.

Pretty solid public library in Roseville next to the Maidu Community Center. We came up to attend…read morean event and decided to check out this library. IIRC, we've been here before, but it's been a while. This is an older library from the looks of it, but it's pretty well kept up. It's clean and quite open inside. The bathrooms at near the entrance and they were ok, my kid says it's a little messy inside probably from inconsiderate patrons, but it's still overall clean. Once you enter the library, you'll see the front desk / information desk. The wife had some questions and the staff was helpful to provide the info. Meanwhile, I wandered around a bit. On the left side of the library is the adult section with many rows of book shelves, there's also 1 long wall of books for sale by the Friends of the Library. Not a huge selection, but they had a nice variety for kids and adults alike. The kids area is on the right side of the library, not very big, but good enough. There are also about half a dozen computers dedicated for the kids to use. Towards the back there's a community room you can rent by the half-hour, guess you can't just reserve it for free. You're allowed to use it if no one else is occupying it and it's not being rented out, but for your own event, guess you have to rent it. All in all, this library isn't very big, but it's good-sized enough for the community as there are 2 other libraries operated by the City of Roseville, this library is not part of the Placer County library system, so it's important not to mix them up in case you do check out books from both systems. The look of the library is definitely dated, but it's kept clean and organized and it's nicely set inside the Maidu Regional Park so it feels safe and it's surrounded by nature, we'll definitely visit again.

This is one of the oldest branches of the Sacramento Public Library system if I recall correctly…read more We're not out this way much, but I've been here back when I was a child, and recently visited again. It's a nice library set in a quiet part of the older part of Rancho Cordova. There's a derth of public libraries out here. The next closest one is like in Folsom or East Elk Grove, that's pretty far. So this location definitely serves its purpose for the community out this way. I came on a Saturday morning after dropping off my kid at an activity. I needed a hang out place, so what better place than a quiet library. This morning there were not many people, I found the book my big kid asked my wife to ask me to check out for her and got it all checked out with the self checkout kiosk. After that, I found a quiet spot in the library and started to read and also watch some videos on my phone using the Wi-Fi provided by the library. From my several pictures, you can see the front entrance and yard area are nicely maintained and clean, and although the library itself is older, it's still open and bright inside. Could it use some updating? Probably, but it's not necessary. It looks like they've definitely changed out the carpet and updated some furniture. I hung out for a few hours and then it was time to go. Overall, it was a good time. I enjoy using the public facilities and services I pay for with my tax dollars. You should check out this library and see how they put your tax dollars at work too. ;)

It's a risk to take unless you ask one of the many kind people around to watch your stuff. There are also study rooms for rent. I haven't used them, but I'm happy to have the option. The parking lot can get packed quick due to the fitness center, nearby parks, and other library goers.

Though some of the seating is worn, the space always seems tidy. Staff at the front desk are welcoming, friendly, approachable, & helpful. The DIY check out & return systems are convenient & user friendly. There is a section of books & media for purchase. It's located at Mahany Park, next door to the Utility Exploration Center, which expands a nice family experience. There's plenty of parking for everyone using all the other parks & recreation facilities in the complex as well.
