Los Gatos Library — Attraction in Los Gatos

The library is beautiful and well curated but it is used as a noisy daycare by families in the morning and by the high school kids in the afternoon. People speak full volume in front of the teen center upstairs and downstairs in the lobby. The sound carries everywhere. Toddlers and babies scream and cry. There is not a quiet corner to read or study without chatter and loud voices interrupting the peace. I've seen cell phones being used upstairs. The lobby downstairs needs help reminding people of respectful library voices as mothers enter with their strollers and loud conversations. Maybe there should be a big, friendly, sign in the entryway, slowing people down, reminding them they are entering a library and what that looks...

A nice public space with lots of resources.

I haven’t visited a library in a while, with such easy online access to books and films, but they have a really interesting collection of things beyond the usual books. I’m glad I stopped by.

There’s a wall with basic necessities like Kleenex and soap and toothpaste free for this in need. There are lots of kits that can be checked out. Lots of DVDs with a 21 day return policy. Also old bound volumes of local newspapers.

The free Wifi here is also fast, my home internet sucks so for some large downloads I’ve resorted to coming to the parking lot...

A beautiful facility that stands in the shadows of the former library that housed a quirky basement design -- miss it a bit. The new, is just that. Well designed with welcoming reading room that mimics a home-like setting with comfortable club chairs and gas fireplace, along with extensive selection of magazines, periodicals and newspapers. Available computers are terrific -- especially if one's own is unvailable. Can and do spend hours at a time investigating the various media. Has an outstanding childrens' reading room. Would welcome a larger and varied beverage station. Staff...
