This review is based on the toddler section since I only come here for my kids. We started over a…read moreyear ago when my kids were 2 and 4. There's a separate room just for kids which is a nice perk of this branch. The room houses books for all kids with a small section of hard picture books (which my 2 year old peruses), a wall of graphic novels for young readers (which neither of my kids are ready for) and then aisles of other reads for mostly ages 5 and up. There are also 2 computers with kids games and a fish tank. There are a few rounded kids tables with chairs and my least favorite... a dirty stained couch. As of now, we have been here maybe 6 times. The space is always clutter free and organized and there's usually not a lot of other people there. I have asked the staff a few times to help find books and sometimes they are less than friendly which makes me feel like a burden. Other times they are helpful and willing so it depends who's working that day. They have a no late fee policy which is great, and they automatically renew your books if they are late. Overall, this is one or the lesser exciting libraries I've taken my family, but it works for what we need.

Love how they have a large beautiful fish tank in the children's room so they can relax a bit and watch the fishes after reading book/ playing computer.

Checked out Glen Park library it's across the street from Glen Park Bart station. There's coffee…read moreshop, La Corneta taqueria, Gialina Pizzeria nearby. Ground floor entrance I took the stairs up. Bathrooms on top floor. Small library with children's section, teen section, books, magazines, DVD, CDs, newspapers. Very convenient for folks that live nearby.

Back again at the Glen Park Public Library. Things kind of changed since my last review. Although…read moremost of my reading content is more on the audio and digital side it is also good to grab a paperback or paper magazine and read different subjects from time to time . They have good magazine selection . You also have people double it as a remote office space ( Like the Founder of the Silk Road did before he got caught) but silence is always appreciated or the Librarians will let you know. This place has good workshops on different topics including art and culture . They also meet here for Shut up & Write group. There is a movie club for grown ups which will feature the film " Party Girl" next month. A good overall community based San Francisco Library. Consistent with improvements. New adventures your mind can embark At the San Francisco Public Library at Glen Park

I grew up in Daly City but have never been to this library location…read more I Came by on Thursday about 2:45. Walked by the front desk and saw 3 employees sitting there. No one looked up. Not a greeting or asked if I needed help locating anything. The library employees that is located on Southgate Ave, are very helpful and friendly

The first few floors of the library aren't too quiet, which I prefer, but the 4th level and higher are quiet study areas. There are also plenty of electrical outlets, but they are scattered throughout along the walls and floor (not built into the tables like what more modern libraries have.) I'm not a SFSU student, but was able to come here with no issues to get some work and studying done. There is very limited paid parking around the area and the free street parking is impossible to find, but if your mobile and capable enough you can park unlimited for free at the mall up the street and walk over (it was about a 15 minute walk.) There are also several muni and bus stops in the area, so public transportation is probably more ideal. I like getting my steps in, so I parked at the mall and walked over. There is free guest wifi in the library for non-students. You just need to sign up for it with your name and email address, and the system emails you a one time password to use. The wifi is surprisingly slow, considering that this is on a college campus and I'm sure there are many students that rely on needing good internet speeds for their courses and studies.

Back in the day, this library was just like any other municipal library. After the renovations,…read morethis place is way more inviting for the student who need a quiet place to study or form groups for meetings and presentations. Similar to that of an office. After the renovations, this place feels more like a miniature IT campus similar to that of Apple or google. And the library gets super busy especially during midterms and finals. Surprisingly there's a Help Desk where you can get a loaner laptop, you have basic computer questions. Basically this is a good place to start for your studying needs.

There are computers with internet connection and Microsoft Office programs for homework and research! A little bit of disclosure, I know the staff that works here as I worked at the Circulation Department myself while going to school at City College! Friendly staff members and good service! -- Circulation, Periodicals and Reference are on the 4th floor -- Books from A-N: 5th floor -- Books from P-Z: 3rd floor Textbooks and study guides for each course are available via the reserve bookshelves if you need it to do your homework, study for an upcoming midterm or final exam. 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. This campus may look crappy, Rosenberg Library is one thing to like about going to school at City College of San Francisco - Ocean (Main) Campus!

The Ortega Library sits right between a middle school, an elementary school, and a big community…read morepark so calling it "busy with kids" is an understatement. I'm here often to pick up large stacks of books, and let me just say- the SFPL app is game changing for me as a busy teacher. I follow a bunch of librarian/teacher influencers, and the moment they rave about a new title, I'm on the app placing my hold. Picking up books is fast and painless. Everything is always ready in one spot in alphabetical order- scan your library card, stack your books on the check out pad, and the machine takes care of the rest. Get a receipt printed or emailed. Now, is it a little chaotic being surrounded by middle schoolers using all the computers? Sure. But honestly, I'm glad they have a safe, supervised place to hang out. And let's talk about the real bonus: the Mister Softee and Magic Frosty trucks often parked out front. Free books plus ice cream? That's an unbeatable combo. Overall, Ortega Library is a gem. busy, messy, joyful, and incredibly useful. They do a ton of community events also. Your library card also gets you free museum perks, which I still need to explore but love knowing exist.

The selection of books is really nice, and ordering books into the branch is easy. The summer reading challenge for kids has also been a fun annual activity.

The playground outside is also a great way for kids to enjoy their day. Highly recommend!

It's hidden…read morein a residential neighborhood, I would've never known it existed if my sister didn't tell me. It's very clean and small with a limited selections but you still get the essentials like books and magazines (Cosmo, People, Instyle), CDs and DVDs, the encyclopedias, and a children's reading room. I wouldn't come here expecting to find info for a research paper but the free Wifi was way faster than the DSL I had at home. That's one for speed. It is also located next to The Bayshore Community Center so there was noise coming from the kids playing outside and they sporadically popped in-n-out of the library to chitchat with their friends who were inside browsing the internet. I was not short of entertainment as there were elderlies burping and snoring loudly. This library would be too noisy for any college student to get any serious studying done. There were cubicles with outlets to plug in your laptops and you could always put on your headset to block out the noise, like what I was doing. This is a perfect hideout if I ever want to disappear from the public.
