    Vacaville Town Square Library
    Bruce K.

    As of June 2022, the library opens at 10am Monday through Saturday and 1pm on Sunday, and here I am at 8:15. That worked out okay because the parking here is free and their wifi reaches to some of the nearby parking spaces. It gave me the opportunity to take a few work Zoom meetings and not be on my data quota. The library is centrally located and since the parking is free, I took advantage of the opportunity to explore before returning to the library and checking it out once it opened. It is a large library and I found a quiet spot with a study carrel that had power and a comfortable chair. Awesome. [Review 17573 overall - 369 in California - 1091 of 2022.]

    Friendly staff, plenty of resources for all ages, and awesome study rooms (but be aware they can only be reserved hour by hour)!

    This review is for FRIENDS OF VACAVILLE LIBRARY (FOVL) operating the WORDS OF WONDER (WOW)…read moreBOOKSTORE located inside this Vacaville Cultural Center Library. The WOW bookstore is open several days per week. It sells donated, used books, CDs, etc., and it is staffed by volunteers. I signed up to volunteer, and was really excited to learn more about donating time to the Book Store and its Board of Directors, as discussed with Volunteer Coordinator Michelle. However my experience when attending the group orientation onsite was met with prejudice and discrimination by Director Cathy. When I arrived for orientation the library staff at the Information Desk directed me to the bookstore located inside and to the right. However the bookstore door was locked. I could see the lights were on and someone was inside so I tapped lightly on the door. Cathy unlocked the door slightly, and looked at me sternly. We were face to face - less than 1 foot apart. I introduced myself, advised I was referred by Michelle, and was there for Volunteer Orientation. Another new volunteer walked up behind me, and said she "was here for the same thing." This volunteer remained about 2 feet behind me. Cathy smiled at her, opened the door wider, reached around and behind me, and shook the other volunteer's hand. Then while looking solely at the other volunteer Cathy told us where to find Michelle and the others (at a table 100 feet away). It was obvious Cathy didn't want to acknowledge, touch or speak with me. The other volunteer was not a woman of color. I am. And since I was clean, well groomed, and well dressed, I can only assume Cathy's indifference and lack of respect was because of a prejudice against women of color. At the very least she didn't feel I deserved the same basic courtesies she extended to the new volunteer standing behind me. Her actions said she didn't value me or my contributions. Shocked by Cathy's overt act of racism I managed to move towards and even participate in the orientation. Alhough I couldn't stop thinking about the way I had been treated. I did tour the bookstore briefly after the group session, at Michelle's urgence. She was excited that I had experience working on and with Boards, and wanted me to meet Cathy. I try to look for the good in people so I decided to give Cathy another chance. However after Michelle introduced us Cathy still didn't give me the greeting she had given my counterpart earlier. No hand shake, no greeting, no smile - just demanded, "tell me (her) about your work history" - with a snarl and superior demeanor. I stopped her interrogation-type inquiry and extended my hand stating I would like to "formally introduce myself." She shook it reluctantly. Still no pleasantries. There was no mistaking that she was speaking with me because Michelle told her someone was interested in volunteering in the bookstore and on the Board of Directors but when she saw it was me she couldn't hide her prejudice, again. I left there knowing I could not volunteer my time or services to an organization whose director looked down upon people and treated them differently because of the color of their skin. I provided feedback to Michelle, and reminded her we are a diverse nation, and expertise and contributions come in all colors. And told her that based on my experience I could not and would not be donating my time or services to FOVL WOW. As long as the Cathy's are in charge here African American or others of color won't be treated with the same dignity and respect. So that's a big no for me.

Extremely antiquated environment full of staff that are unqualified, discompassionate, AND uneducated about psychological and learning disabilities. WHICH IS THEIR ENTIRE ROLE. The only thing they can seem to enforce is extra test time---which you have to jump through hoops to schedule. This is another barrier for someone with any disabilities that affect executive functioning. The ASC is responsible for advocating for students and finding an equitable way for them to keep up with their classmates, yet is useless when handling unaccommodating professors. The judgment I've faced here by trying to find reasonable accommodations is inane. Why are you being sassy and argumentative with me when I'm asking for help? A high EQ should be mandatory for a role that involves supporting a community that is highly vulnerable to discrimination. The "Accessibility Services Center" is also incredibly disorganized and frequently don't respond to emails. I have to hound them for updates, which is difficult for a student who is already trying to manage their hectic life. They don't seem to be the most cognitively sharp when trying to "help" disabled students, nor well-versed in Section 504 of the ADA... which should be a basic requirement. I know more about my rights than this place knows left from right. The amount of times I've had to repeat a large swath of information from one person [who promised to relay info] to the next that had seemingly no idea what was going on is ridiculous. I've run into multiple people who interrupted me, spoke over me, or made an underhanded remark at the expense of my abilities. I can't tell if Solano is just hiring people off the street to staff the ASC or what. I had a phone conversation with an older woman from the ASC who was supposed to help me formulate a plan to get back on track with school, and she had no advice that couldn't be applied to a neurotypical student. When I mentioned the barriers I face, she gave a long pause and stated flatly that I should "prioritize the class" and "study more". Why didn't I think of that? I could get better advising from a stranger on Omegle. Horrific experience. 1/10
