Not sure yet. Many good things. A few challenges.Parking definitely harder than old building. No accessible spots available.Kids books on 2nd floor. Adults on 3rd.Study rooms.Lots of good stuff to explore, use, check out.Old building had very big selection of books. Seems they have reduced available inventory in new building.Library is now located in very busy area that includes Parks and Rec and Police Station across the street.Entering or leaving Civic Way is a bottleneck. Stressful getting out onto main road. I predict problems in an emergency situation given location of police station (first responders) who may need quick access.The roof of the new building is flat. Did they install solar? If not, why not?New building has great views of San Bruno Mountain.Playground and bike parking outside at entrance.

Fast and free Wi-Fi. The 3rd floor is pretty quiet and has enough space to work/study as long as you’re not taking loud phone calls.

Separate floors for kids and adult library, clean restrooms, some tables and chairs to hang out outside the main library.

Very clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. Signage for upcoming events and announcements are readily visible and accessible. The decor is very open, welcoming, and warm.

Theres only one way in and one way out that makes the traffic around a nightmare. The parking lot itself is also terribly inadequate to accommodate all visitors. Its a shame that such a beautiful and wonderful place cant be fully utilized due to faulty design.

I came here to study. It was the perfect place for it.

The library itself is nice, but the parking is horrendous. Whoever designed this needs their degree or license taken away. The old location was better.

Beautiful new library. Has separate sections for sci fi and fantasy. Separate section for mystery. Good parking.

New library is great,but not enough parking! Many people are discouraged from going, because of the lack of parking.

An example of public money well-spent. Great modern library with (of course) a large selection of books for all ages, as well as activities.

This library is closing effective 7.7.23----The replacement library is expected to open in the Fall. The older one was certainly dated, but had an extensive collection. Now I understand why my Property taxes are sky high.

BEST SCANNING SERVICE 1/6/2022At this library I have found the best service for my document scanning need. First of all, it’s FREE. You only pay 15c/page if you print. Staples store charges 55c per scanned page!!! Same price with Office Depot. I’ve been there.The staff was so helpful. The young man patiently guided me through the steps. I practiced with a few documents and became semi-expert in no time. So appreciative to have such kind assistance.The library was quiet and peaceful.A tremendous service available to us in this Covid time when almost everything important is handled digitally. Stay away from those commercial office supplies stores. Save your money and work in peace at this wonderful SoSF Main Library.

Best Library Ever! The Library Staff is a very friendliness and they helped me to find my favorite book or I can use my computer for the internet time. I love myself to be silence during reading books and computer time in the library. Theres no problem or reasons at all. Im happy to see that! First time I went there.

Ive been a patron of this library since I was in elementary school & Ive consistently found the staff to be extremely helpful & friendly, but I have 2 concerns: lack of space and air. Often I find the library to be very stuffy and wam due to lack of circulating air. Also, I often can not find a place to sit due to no available seating and therefore become disgusted and leave! While this particular location will always be especially nostalgic to me, my hope is that the newly constructed library will address theses troublesome problems .

I just love the South San Francisco Library Main Branch staff. They are always super customer-service oriented. Happy to help whether its in person or on the phone - put a book on hold, renew, make a recommendation. Sooooooo refreshing!--- Regarding the limited hours, I believe budget cuts are the culprit. Let the City Manager and City Council know that you want more open hours

One great library! You need to visit this library if you happen to be near the Daly City corridor. Its a complete library with tons of movie videos forthe renting and a lot of books plus computers you can use along with printers if you need printing stuff. Theres also a kid section somewhere inside this library.

It was good. All the librarians are nice and kind. Computers are now working and a lot of children reading books in West Orange Library at South San Francisco. This place is really huge!

Good service, not too noisy, and has a nice collection. Coming in, grabbing a hot chocolate, and finding a spot to read is lovely - and when I visited they had a program to recommend you books based on what you previously read and likes

Noisy at times when it should be much quieter, maybe because of poor acoustics. Also wish the hours were longer, especially for a main branch. Nice location.

Superior service and help from staff is available at this branch. DVDs, CDs, Computer Access, Childrens services, Computer classes, Research support, 3D printing, Other classes, veterans support, and still more. Best kept secret resource is your public library! Use it or lose it!

Though it may need some renovation, but it serves its function as a library. It is also a vote center for San Mateo County during election.
