The children's section is not set up to accommodate children. There should be more outreach to the families trying to help children find books. The picture book section is particularly not child-friendly for browsing. The books are jammed tightly on the shelves by the author's last name, which makes it difficult for anyone to find a book unless they know specifically what they're looking for.

When I wrote to the Grover Beach Community Library about the donation I got a very harsh response from Nan Fowler. I realize she owns a used book store in Grover Beach and so that makes her the "expert" but quite frankly with her attitude I don't see why anyone would want to shop in her store. Perhaps my experience is unique, but it doesn't seem that the Grover Beach Community Library really wants donation of books unless "they are old Hemingway etc. that is different". Ms. Fowler's exact words to me. Bottom line is she could have been a bit more gracious and just told me they weren't interested instead she felt compelled to send a drawn out e-mail that I found to be very insulting. Needless to say I won't donate books to this library, won't shop any of their used book sales, use this community library or spend one cent in Ms. Fowler's bookstore.
