However, more often than not you will find people from the surrounding neighborhood, reading, napping or using the computer. UCSF staffs this library with a librarian and security guard (@ night), so safety is never really an issue. But, never ever leave your valuables unattended here! The description: This is one of my favorite study spots or sanctuaries during the week to hole up and study -- there are about 6-8 large tables with enough room for 4 people, comfy chairs and computers scattered around. The tables have power outlets. The verdict: It's relatively quiet, except when the entrance opens and closes which gets annoying a lot. 75% of the time you can find a table to yourself or to share. What sucks is that they have limited hours - weekdays and only saturday. Pretty much standard business hours, not the place to go if you're a nightowl.

It is interesting that the Golden Gate Valley Branch Library has some five star reviews & some one…read morestar reviews making it have an average of a 3.5 star rating here on Yelp. I went here recently. For starters beautiful architecture as the exterior of the building is lovely. I found in the interior of the library to be quite small. Half of the library was devoted to being a children's library it seemed. I found the library to be a bit claustrophobic as was quite crowded & not a place to really sit down to read to unwind. Also found the overall selection of the titles to be a bit underwhelming in the kind of books that I enjoy reading. I know it is a small branch so they don't have the selection of a larger branch yet still didn't find many titles to my liking here. The Golden Gate Valley Branch has several programs on offer including: Book Club Knitting Club Monthly Film Nights If this is your local branch you can have items transferred in from other branches which is a good thing.

If so, do it here, as it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing libraries in one of the best neighborhoods in SF. The architecture is beautiful, inside and out. This is a neighborhood library. It wouldn't be fair to compare it to the SF Main Library in size, but It's full of charm and a great little spot to spend an hour or so in. They also have an impressive amount of movies on DVD to rent (remember DVD's?) and you can check them out for 20 days, and even renew them at least a couple of times. Afterwards, take a stroll along Union Street, just a block over to shop and dine.

I called in earlier to talk to a male librarian at the branch who was really friendly and told me about the copier services available. so I bucked down to the library as I literally only had 10 minutes to make some copies on the eve before Christmas Eve. The library staff woman at the counter was SO SO helpful to handhold me through the complicated process of registering my library card at the branch and helping me basically press every single button on the complicated series of machines to get my 20 copies made! I also learned you can get $2 worth of copies every single day for free with a library card! wow. so I got all my copies for FREE!!!!! OMG it was way better than going to Fedex!!!!!! anyway I was so impressed by the customer service I got from the friendly librarian who took the time to help me and I was in and out of the library in lightning speed time!!!

Some books from the reserve shelves are to be used in the library only. There are reserve textbooks that can be checked out for 1 day or 7 days. The professors determine whether the textbooks should be used in the library or take home so check in with the Circulation Desk staff. There is a room where the change provider and copy machines are, the adjacent room is where library workshops are held. A reserve book room is adjacent to the circulation desk, there is a copy machine in there as well with 2-5 desks in there for studying. The other 3 copy machines are on the other side right near the computers are. -- Group Study Rooms are available and can be reserved at the circulation desk. The Media Center is across the hall from here, audio visual rooms are on the 3rd floor, LAC and language lab are on the 2nd floor.
