Been coming to this Sacramento public library branch for a long time, but haven't visited in quite…read morea few years. Recently, we stopped by to get registered for the summer reading program (can also be done online) and to get prizes, and got to see this library again. Basically, it's not changed at all. It's still in pretty good shape, lots of books throughout, a nice and bright children's section, and extensive sections for adults and teens too. The inside of the library is brightly lit and quite organized. There were not a lot of books on sale at the Friends of the Library book sales section, especially children's books were quite limited, but there's a ton of books to borrow! The library assistant was helpful in guiding us through redeeming our summer reading prizes which were 1 book each for my kids for registering and logging books they've been reading all summer, and I got a tote. Overall, this is still a pretty good library although it's not very big and architecturally, it's pretty basic. It also serves as the Franklin high and Toby Johnson MS library during the school year, but right now during the summer, it's just a regular public library.

Very nice, helpful, engaging staff. Free wifi(no password required) and several computers available for use, plus printers (10¢/page printed).

Lots of books for sale Very Cheap (like 50¢) through "Friends of the Library". I only wish they were open Sundays, too!! (..and maybe longer hours ;-)

The kids absolutely love when he reads & the songs they all sing together. My kids always look forward to Thursdays, library time is their favorite day of the week! The staff here is also as amazing! They're always so willing to help. Galt definitely has the best library!

Being a part of that community is one thing, but introducing sexual concepts to children is another thing that is inappropriate, no matter what you prefer in the bedroom. The fact that none of the librarians could tell me who to complain to I found very odd since I'm not the only parent who does not like sexual content mixed into kids books. It truly is sad that so many companies have dialed down the rhetoric but the Lodi Public Library is not concerned with protecting kids from sexual adult content.

This library is nice because there is a fun kids corner and they also offer a place for teens to hang out. I will be saddened when the library moves to its new location, but also excited for the novelty.

Note that there are future plans to move this library from its current location on Elk Grove-Florin…read moreRoad to Elk Grove Blvd x Waterman where the Rite Aid used to be. Parking can be tough, but there is overflow parking. I remember going to this branch's original location on Elk Grove Blvd where Pinot's Palette/Hobby Quest are now when I was in high school. This 2-story library is small but I've never had a bad experience here. Downstairs is the children's books/movie selection, and upstairs are teens/adults, including foreign, fiction, nonfiction, and new items. I've found a few cool "Lucky Day" items such as new release movies on DVD, or in-demand popular book series such as Fourth Wing/Iron Flame, and It Starts With Us (sequel to It Ends With Us). If the branch doesn't carry your desired item on shelf, you can always request a hold from another library within Sac Lib system, or outside (via LINK+) and have it transited to be picked up and checked out at whichever branch. I've gotten materials this way from the Bay Area, and even Southern California (such as CD soundtracks for musicals Broadway Cast recordings, or obscure foreign films or books). The Holds pickup shelf is on the first floor to the left of the entrance, alphabetized by last name. You can also use your library card to access digital books (Overdrive or Hoopla) via Libby. Your card also has other perks such as museum discount passes or state park passes. If you need to make photocopies, they have a black and white copier which accepts coins. Logging onto the computers to browse is free for a certain time limit, but to print does also cost money per page. Not sure about magazines, however, they do have free copies of local newspapers too (Elk Grove Citizen and Galt Herald). They have self checkouts (magnetic mats) and barcode scanners, but if you need assistance there is a helpdesk on each floor. Elevators and stairs, restrooms clean. Chairs for reading, and more private conference/study rooms too can be reserved in advance. Self-return touchscreen conveyor outside, and an old-fashioned drop box for items that won't scan properly, otherwise can take inside to return in person at the desk. During the pandemic they also had free Covid test kits at this location. They don't have a "Library of Things" at this branch, but during Covid they also loaned out Chromebooks and Wi-Fi Hotspots. If you are getting a brand new library card or renewing, they also carry a few card "styles" to choose from -- I have a "Light The Beam" Sacramento Kings purple card. They do also have special events such as family story time (also bilingual), teen space, senior social, STEAM activities, tween comics group, etc.

It's been years since I have been here! My toddler is 3.5 and lovesssss to read. We have so many…read morebooks at home but finding a library to give her even more options and expand her imagination along with her love for books I'm all for. We spent quite some time finding the appropriate age Disney books for her. She really wanted Disney princess books and luckily we were able to find a couple of Frozen books, one Moana, and a few others Disney related. I love how we can get put on a waitlist if there are no books available there. Or they let you know on their online catalog where the book you're looking for is located, should you wish to drive there. The timeframe to borrow books are 3 weeks which I think is plenty! Despite not having come here for over 7+ years, the library is in great condition! Everything looks very organized, clean, and new. There are so many resources available as well, for all ages! Given the lapse in time my old library card needed to be renewed. Hamid assisted us and was wonderful to me and my daughter. He made the process extremely easy and quick. He also let her choose a free 3D printed figure from their bin! Highly recommend.

Adj: Still solid and Notably nice…read more Came by recently to pick up a book for my big kid. You can order books online from other libraries and they'll deliver them as holds for pick up. Super convenient and helpful way to get harder to find books without having to drive to a far away branch. The library still looks very good, nicely maintained, quiet and relaxing for reading and studying here. The kids section can get loud, but it's set all the way to the very back of the library and that contains the sounds. There are quiet study rooms up front towards the entrance that you can reserve for totally quiet studying or working. I noticed there's new EV chargers available now in the parking lot. The charging isn't free, but reasonably priced like $0.20 a kwh or so. Very affordable and making it paid makes it so that people don't just park and plug in their cars for hours and hog the chargers (there's a upcharge/penalty if you keep it plugged in beyond a certain number of hours or when it's no longer charging). I prefer this over when the chargers (at other branches) were free to charge and people just hogged them for hours or even days. Anyways, this library looks good and it's still a nice location to visit and check out books, study, relax and read, or just to hang out quietly. I also check out the Friends of the Library bookstore when I come by and see what kinds of new books are on sale. Sometimes the books are even brand new and I'm giftable condition. Overall, I'm glad to see this library is still kept up and in good shape for everyone to enjoy.

We are hoping to also join the 1000 books before kindergarten next time we go. Overall, it was clean, spacious areas for all ages.
