Highland Sam J. Racadio Library & Environmental Learning Center (San Bernardino County) — Attraction in Highland

IF YOU COME HERE, LOOK OUT FOR THE ITCHY BUGS EVERYWHERE! I’ve come here on 2 occasions this year and came out with little bugs that look like fleas on me!!! First it started with me sitting in the adult novel section going towards the back of the library and feeling a little itchy. I would go to scratch and notice what looked like a little brown crumb on me. Then 10 or 15 mins later I would scratch again in a different spot and there would be another brown spot. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I came a second time trying to give it the benefit of the doubt but still the same problem occurred. I ALWAYS WALK OUT OF THIS LIBRARY ITCHING WITH BITES! I even wiped the table down with a disinfectant wipe the 2nd time and it still didn’t stop those bugs. The wipe also turned black with dirt after wiping so that also tells you how often then clean this place… just an entirely gross, unclean, and infested library! Management should be ashamed! Do better San...

Love the kids programs. Tuesday and Wednesday at 10:30 am for 0-5 years old. Some stuff on Wednesday evening also for the 6-12 year olds but I can't remember those exact times. The seperate kids section is so great. Live animals, lots of adventurous sitting areas for you to enjoy and read with your children. Kids computer for toddlers and elementary aged kids. Adult computers so you can get you work done while they are entertained also. A great adults section with a big computer lab, and private study room. There is just many great things to say about this library. A seperate cafe area with a vending machine for drinks and one for snacks. This is the only area food is allowed and I don't mind that as it keeps the library clean. Always air conditioned which makes it so comfortable if maybe you are waiting for the bus or need a cool center to relax. Bus stop right in front so that...

This library is a mixed bag. Dark and uninviting. Customer service is below average. They keep the restroom locked and you have to show your library card to use it. This is a problem because you could wait 20 minutes to speak to a clerk. The community room is only available for library events so it's diused most of the time. Parking is terrible -- park on the street for easier in & out. Reference desk is poorly trained. You're better off doing a ChatGPT or Google Search. Terrible hours -- clearly working people aren't welcome. This is a county library so they don't cooperate with the San Bernardino City library. You'd need to get a library card for both. They're pretty much focused entirely on pre-teens and ingore all...
