This library is modern and full of activities for baby-teens! My husband love the big glass window/wall overlooking. So relaxing and variety of books for everyone!

Good experience in the library. The environment is cozy and quiet, what you would expect for a library. My boys and I registered for new cards, and the process was a breeze.

Love coming here for when I need research materials I cant find in the digital world. Lots of scheduled activities for little kids. The location up on a quiet hill is great and conducive for studying. Parking lot is ample. Staff have been very helpful. Never really thought i would need a library at this age of high tech internet etc but nothing beats being able to flip through pages of a book.

This is a great library! very organized and clean, nice people, great selection and more. there is also a bookstore with it. i also request stuff from other branches so they can route it. also there is a room with 2 vending machines. it was renamed Ronald h Roberts temeucla public library like a year ago. the only problom is, i dont think any patron knows what the word quiet means. but this is still a great library after all. very great.

I really enjoy visiting this library! The staff is very helpful and always treat us with lots of kindness. They have a wide range of literature to choose from. I also find the tutoring program very neat! The interior design is very nice as well as it also consists of a kids center.

Amazing place to come and get away from the noise of life. Came in trying to get ready for a test. Quiet zones. It offers private rooms where you can get away and concentrate in the task at hand. Friendly staff willing and able to provide you with assistance to make your time count. Greatly recommended. In this world of technology take some time to rediscover your local library. Let your children develop the joy of reading and learning about the world they are living through books and open their imagination

I really like this library allot. I am there at least 4 days out of the week. My son is homeschooled and we use the computers to do his homework. They also have private meeting rooms you can use for 2 hours. All you have to do is show them your library card and they hold it for the 2 hours while you are using the room. I like to use this so my son can play his music or video himself for certain assignments. This is a big library with many different areas to sit and use the computer. I would definitely recommend this library for the young and old.

The staff at this library are very welcoming and helpful. I often need help to locate a certain book and the people at the reference desk are always cheerful and ready to help me. Today was no different. One book wasnt available so the lady ordered it for me and wrote down the book numbers for the others I needed and directed me where to find them.I also like the plentiful, available, comfortable chairs and desk areas located throughout the building.Occasionally, I go to the childrens section to get books for my granddaughter. There is a very good selection there for her age and Miss Ginger is always ready to help suggust the perfect books.I am thankful to have such a wonderful public library in Temecula.

This library is quiet, clean, and a relaxing haven. This library is very large and spacious. It has high ceilings, wide aisles, and lots of windows. The library also boasts 3 private study rooms, a special genealogy area with materials and computers, an abundance of computers, a quiet lounge room with comfy chairs and couches, a special teens library room, a specific room just for children, lots of exciting activities, events and programs for all ages! I highly recommend this library!!!!!

The staff for the whole library is amazing! Always friendly, happy and helpful. The staff in the childrens section are very patient with answering my childrens endless questions and helping them find books. They have a few toys out for younger kids which my 2yo loves to play with. Its convenient that they have a single bathroom in the childrens section too for those with little ones. It is a very clean library including the bathrooms. I noticed that they also have private rooms in the back of the library, I dont know what the policy is for those though but it looks like a great place for tutoring or working on projects. I love the fact that you can reserve books online through your account and walk right up to the front to get them. It is convenient when we want a book but someone is sick or we just dont have time to browse the shelves at a leisurely pace. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because this is a small library compared to the last one we frequent.

This library is in a great central spot. Easy to park and always a spot available. The library is beautiful and clean.The childrens room is a great place for learning. The activities planned weekly for the kids is amazing; full of fun with plenty of interactive toys and even reading sessions in a magical indoor tree house. There are always staff members close by, and they are extremely friendly and helpful if you have questions. For adults there are plenty computers and tables throughout the whole building so its easy to be secluded if needed. My whole family loves this place and we choose this library often for our Family Day together.

What an amazing view for a local library.

If you want to go here for quiet, I suggest bringing headphones because sometimes this place is so loud. The librarians that sit in middle of the library are also outrageously loud. They non-stop talk to each other with no regard for anyone who is nearby. Sitting next to the windows is nice though because of the view and the sound isnt as much of a problem over there.

Review №23

It is SO great to be able to go inside of the library again! The sounds and textures and smell of the books are reminiscent and nostalgic.That quiet you can only find in libraries which allows for deeper thought and focus.Finding a great book that has passed through so many hands and filled so many minds with imaginative visions and useful knowledge.There is nothing like a good peaceful library visit and the Temecula Public Library offers that in a clean setting. The greeters are very pleasant and attendants help you in every way.This library has it all. They are only allowing for one hour visits at a time and we could have stayed much longer. There is currently no seating due to COVID-19 and your temperature is checked outside upon entering.We absolutely love the architecture of this building and the gorgeous trees planted all around it making you feel like you’re in a forest with a gorgeous view of Temecula. Can’t wait to go back!

I really do appreciate how quiet this library is. I get my books from the French valley library or here and always choose this as my study spot when necessary.

Kids are allowed to scream and run around unchallenged. We already know modern day parents dont know how to parent anymore but this library doesnt know how to keep a library quiet either. 2 stars because its big, have private rooms and is very clean. Without a private room, its a noisy train station with almost no rules.

Voted here.It was horrible. They claimed it was very busy earlier in the day so they had 2 lines. I didnt even know they had two lines because of the chaos in front but I found what seemed like a line and waited... and waited.... and waited. One hour and my line had hardly moved. I noticed the other line was going through double speed. The entire line would go through and leave before we moved even one person closer.I spoke up and everyone in my line stating noticing too. People started getting agitated and then they all started speaking up as well. They had a park ranger come out and try to explain that the lines were merging but none of us were buying it. So then they merged the lines and that put us all back further to wait. It took another 2 hours. It was hot and there was no shade. Altogether, I waited 5 hours just to vote. Very suspicious activity.Then, I seemed to notice a lot of strange things with the ballots. Ive never in my life seen a cardboard ballot box that wasnt even sealed. With a much chaos that was going on with the lines, I would think security of the ballots would be a little more important. But it wasnt. Also, why did just about everyone say they used pens to fill out ballots when mine was a computer and it printed out a ballot. This seems like anyone could claim that was theirs. The entire process was a nightmare.I also noticed a couple of people being stacks of mail in ballots. But... dont people mail those in?? I wish I had taken a picture of one of those people. But I definitely saw people bringing in stacks, and I mean stacks of around 40 or 50 ballots and drop them into the mail in cardboard box.Everything about this seemed extremely disorganized and considering the importance of this process, it was very concerning.I dont think Ill trust voting here again.

Scenic library touching the blue skies overlooking a park. Glass windows to peer out and see nature which is soothing while studying. Lots of space and outlets that can accomdate many study arrangements including private rooms. Giant collection of books and access to a network that has almost anything that comes to mind. Friendly and knowledgable librarians. As a frequent library visitor, this is the best library I know. I would give it the highest recommendation

Beautiful setting. Helpful staff. A true community center. A gift to the community.

Review №35

2019-07-05 05:15:30

Some members of the team take on a positionality of political correctness, and enforces it arbitrarily without truly taking time to understand. Not really a place to discuss dark important matters without having a staff member feeling uncomfortable, and imposing that discomfort onto us, while guising themselves as the savior of the situation. Its a predominant mentality in institutions and humanity so no offense taken. Great library besides that, and helpful in other areas. Has great book selections and accommodates for that. Great windows to meditate, and look at the sunset. Other staff members are friendly as well.

The reference lady, Casey, is basically harassing me by monitoring me for fidgeting, in the form of sliding my feet in and (halfway) out of my birks.i feel like i have broken a law. not a good feeling, and i definitely did not.quite frankly, as a reference lady, her job is not to be authoritative. it’s to “answer questions”, as she even told me, when i politely asked her (after the encounter).as someone who went to private school from k-10th, and was basically born into church, i feel like i have a pretty good understanding of social etiquette, as i was trained to do so. so, for me, this was quite offensive to hear and be watched like a criminal.thinking of not returning, because of the emotion behind her harassment, but, i just love the quiet room sm, it is hard to let go. i dislike that i have to pick and choose to stay because i like it, or to leave because of the discomfort from her actions.

This is such a great place to hang out ♥️ at. They even have a snack area. Imagine! Where most libraries will get on your back, these guys have snack machines available to the public. Love it! If only they could expand the library hours... 👍

As a resource for childrens books in the classroom, this library is a jewel! Not only are many of the books available at this site, but the childrens staff is highly knowledgeable in giving ideas for presentation in the classroom. My wife has used this library since its inception and count it as one of her favorite resources for her Head Start kids. My job is to pick up and return the books which is fast and easy, especially with the helpful eyes of the staff spying the books in the shelves for me when I am checking them out!

Pros: The library has a nice view of the Ronald Reagan sports park and it has books. Friendly staff.Cons: The wifi is very slow 1m/up 1m/down right now dont expect to download or upload large files to and from the internet. They block many websites which makes the visit even less worth it and the Library is crowded nowhere to sit on busy days.

Great library, but internet is extremely slow. Internet speed is 1-2Mbps, so it’s unusable since half the websites timeout as they try to load. This reminds me of dial-up days.
