August 2025 - the Redding library is CLOSED for remodeling until "Fall" - maybe October maybe not…read more Don't make any plans that involve going there for the time being. There is one room open with some books but no chairs or tables and that's it. I suppose they have their reasons but closing for so long when it's regularly over 100 degrees and not having any place for someone to sit in a cool, quiet place and read is just so negligent.

Not too many students talking and everyone is there to get their things done. I just hope that they add more "cubicle" desks with rolling chairs next to power outlets. When finals seasons hits again then those are the first to go. Thank you!

Meriam Library on Chico State's campus is very resourceful. There are many computers to use, and a…read morelot of study space. I personally like that they have a laptop lounge with an ample amount of plugs. I haven't had to look up books or anything like that yet, but I'm sure that they have everything I would need to write a paper or for researching purposes. Way to go Chico State!

Five stars for customer service…read more I came to print an email attachment. 10 cents a page for black and white prints. Plenty of computers, internet, sections for kids (activities too). Internet computer use is limited to 1 hour. I didn't look at the book selection that closely but the library itself looks great for studying.

I love our local library. over the years funding, hours, and inventory have gone up/down.

Its easy online now to look up a book and put a hold on a title you are looking for from any library in the system. They also have several computers available for the public to use on a limited basis (so that everyone has a chance to use them). consider donating books or money to help them out.

However, there are many books, especially textbooks, you can only have for 2 hours at a time. I love going hear just to get away from it all.

Time for an update--I'm fairly certain the old dude featured in my 2012 review of B&N is deader…read morethan fried chicken, and B&N has long since moved into a new, much larger space. The new space is cool, I guess, but let's get real: B&N is no longer a bookstore, strictly speaking. It makes most of its money on its cafe, and when it obtained this much larger space it didn't expand the book and magazine selections. It expended the toy, puzzle, board game, LP record, stationary, and other sections. It's practically a leisure-time general store now. The LP selection isn't half-bad, but I suspect it's all digital-to-analog crap. At least they still sell books and magazines, though even there it's changed. Surprise, surprise, the religion section (focused on evangelical Christianity) is huge. Looking for a book on the historical Jesus? You'll find the most popular, unscholarly examples here--likely at least one by a local author! On the other hand, if you're looking for a book by well-regarded California author TC Boyle, you'll currently find a single volume of one of his least-regarded novels ("East is East") on the shelves. A decade ago they'd have had 10 of his books to choose from. Still a pretty good spot to kill a couple of hours, except when they're having storybook readings to kids in the cafe on Saturday mornings. It gets LOUD.

Loved my experience here! Definitely recommend looking around because you'll definitely find…read moresomething! Plus everyone has such a sweet and kind heart there.
