Anyone who is a California resident can get a free library card at the front desk. They are doing a fundraiser to upgrade the place.

The library has a security officer that keeps the over talkative from yapping too loud and will open the locked bathroom for your use.

I called Stanislaus County Free Library and inquired about getting an earlier appointment. The guy who was helping me said it's best to call in the morning and check for cancellations. I asked if he had anything available that day and he did!! So I was able to get in at 3:30pm. He was very helpful. I called again and had questions on what to bring to appointment and the lady who answered this time was very nice as well! So I went to my appointment and Lisa helped me. She was very friendly and super helpful. The whole process was very easy. I will definitely be back to this location to get my passport.

I'm removing a star from my review for a very specific reason…read more... My 10 and 12 year old girls came to the library with me yesterday to check out books, as we often do. For some reason, the eldest decided she was old enough to browse the teen section. She isn't, but that's beside the point I'm about to make here. Both girls have found comics in the teen section that have earned my trust and accepted it into our home as appropriate reading material. I believe scenes of some violence may have perpetrated the impulse to display them in the teen section. This time, my eldest brought home some Anime comics. For some reason, she refused to let me or my husband view any of these graphic novels. She stated "I'm reading them. You don't need to see them." She told our five year old that it has things in it that she's too young to see. After finally seeing what's in the books, I'm outraged!! Nudity, teen sex, graphic nude scenes, etc. I'm used to seeing novels, comics, etc. and the like in public libraries, but only found in a section designated for adults only. After making an impromptu trip back to the public library, I indeed found an entire section of these books in the teen section. It's difficult enough to screen ratings and explicit scenes from our children's eyes on basic T.V., so our public library felt it was okay to display these books in the teen section? In a world that glorifies sex without consequence, without protection and no concern for teen pregnancy (miraculously, none of the kids on T.V. ever need to worry about STD's, AIDS or pregnancy), now I need to screen what my kids find in the teen section?? I'll be more aware of what can be found in a public library, especially in the teen section. How does a library that encourages safety, kindness, respect, awareness, etc. justify encouraging kids to exercise sound, mature decision-making skills when books like these grace the shelves inside their four walls? Agaon, how is this justified? Until we had a nice talk, my preteen daughter started asking some very specific questions that had her very misled about the world around her. All due to the public library's grave error in choosing to expose my child to reading material that is way beyond her knowledge, and should remain that way! Truly, this exposes your child as well! The library encourages children to make mature, adult decisions, yet encourages them to enjoy their childhood? They aren't old enough to be required or expected to make decisions or judgement calls like this! However, as long as an incredibly careless individual justifies displaying books like these in a section meant for immature, growing, developing minds, our children are forced to make a judgement call that they shouldn't have to make. The interesting thing is that the staff I just spoke to agrees with me! In fact, the wonderful single mom (Judith) of three of her own kids agreed with me 100%! Unfortunately, she has no say over what is put where, let alone what should be permitted inside the four walls of any building that affects our kids. Again, it's difficult enough to sensor what is shown on T.V. I'm only 35, and so much more is allowed on T.V. versus when I was young. I thought some things were too explicit then! Perhaps if enough people raise concern over what our children our exposed to in public libraries (specifically our Manteca branch), maybe those with the powers that be will reconsider and move these books to the adult section? If these graphic scenes are allowed, what else are my kids exposed to that I should be concerned over? We can't watch our kids every second! Is nothing sacred?? Can we not trust one human being to use common sense to prevent our kids from being exposed to things prematurely? What's this world coming to? The individuals that rum the Manteca Public Library ought to be ashamed of themselves!
