Cupertino Library - Cupertino, California

Irene “MJ” Kim

My favorite big love Library with my baby! There are many story times here, and there is a pretty good aqua tank at the entrance of the library. Kids love modular toys and board books in the children's area. I am grateful to be able to feel the expressions and laughter of the children who performed their activities here.

The second floor of the library has a foreign language book area. In my case, I also borrow books in Korean from this place.

Most of all, my baby is every time having fun alone here without my touch! Great for interacting with new sweet friends. So, I am coming every week.

The owner of the library cafe is kind and the ice cream is delicious.

A place to learn about the world!

This is my favorite library in the South and East Bays mostly because it usually has the most up to date and extensive selection of software books compared to the rest. There is a variety of seating sections and study rooms with a fairly large and separate children's area that is insulated enough from the main floor. It also doesn't have a security guard which I actually prefer since I've seen a few in other libraries be overzealous with their job and harass people like waking them up if they fall asleep while reading. The only con is that some patrons don't seem to realize that you're supposed to try to be quiet in a library or at least definitely not talk loudly on a phone while everyone else is trying to read or study. Overall though, I would drive a few extra minutes to go here over other libraries.

Nice, spacious library. Not a whole lot of traffic, so fairly quiet. Decent spot to spend a couple of hours reading or studying!

A really great library for pretty much all ages. For young kids there's an excellent children's section, and a huge fishtank on the way there. For teens there's study rooms and great resources to study or read or learn something new. For adults there's similar segmented areas. The library is bright but comfortable and welcoming with lots of natural light.

Finally the grounds around the library are calm, clean, and sunny. It's pretty much the perfect library!

An Excellent Library. Chinese literature is too much. Indian literature is lacking. Indians should endeavour
for Millions of good libraries in India too.

Libraries are awesome. So many free and helpful resources beyond the wonderful gift of books and reading like free borrowing of material, computer use, community events and activities, learning programs, etc. This is one we checked out while around the area a while ago in the fall. There is a nice open front area in a quiet neighborhood area with a good selection of material including local history, a unique aquarium in the front and interactive details and signs. When we visited there was also a garden that was closed and renovations in progress to expand the area. Some areas are a bit dated and had a slight odor, but taking into consideration it's a public space as well.

I wish I lived closer. Plenty of places to sit, quiet, respectful, power outlets everywhere. High and low seating, computers for use, a lot of parking, a few outside shaded tables by the Story Walk. 4 hour parking limit was perfect for my stay.

This is a spacious and comfortable library. There is all kinds of seating everywhere, study rooms, tables, booths, couches, individual chairs, etc. There are plenty of outlets too.

They have a good selection of international publications and children books. You can also check out park passes for free admission to county parks that you would otherwise have to pay a $5-$10 entrance fee.

The computers are usually not all taken and there are Dell laptops for rent. The staff is helpful for the most part. There was an anxious lady next to me today on a computer trying to figure out how to print something and the staff member patiently answered her onslaught of more than 10 repetitive questions. There are still some rude employees here who expect you to know how to do and find everything though.

There is street parking and a large parking lot connected to the Cupertino Civic Center. Somehow the two closest rows of parking spaces in front of the library are usually taken when I go.
