Sacramento Public Library – North Highlands-Antelope

This is the closest library to my house, but unfortunately it is not very big and does not offer too many hours. It’s very small inside and does not have a lot of books. The staff is very helpful and there are a lot of programs aimed at providing services to the community (tutoring, teaching adults to read, etc) but overall, does not impress me.

I love this place! Not that it is anything special… I just really enjoy the library and this is a great library.

Great staff, always helpful!
Even found books in braille for my daughter’s school project.

I always find this library very resourceful, besides its the closest one I can get to. There pretty prompt with helping you when your having trouble with a computer or copy machine. I wish they had a big selection of books, but I guess books are now call E-​books. I love how well maintained they keep there facility, and there bathrooms are clean as well.

Just a quick review. I love this library, I grew up going there almost everyday. It was my oasis in Antelope, I’m sad that all the budget cuts made all the hours so sparse. The selection is pretty remarkable, though they always seem to not have the book I’m looking for so I have to request it. I’m not happy that you have to pay if you forget the book you order for a day. I know the library needs money, but I can’t drop everything for one book.
It’s ok, sometimes the librarians are a little cranky, but they have a job that is struggling so I understand. I like this location, it’s one of my favorites.

They have a huge dvd section. I love that.

Was a bit disappointed in the staff here. One librarian was rude when I inquired about a library card. He asked why I wanted one. Ummm… cuz Fonzi says its cool to have a liberry card? (I really wish I had said that!). To check out books, I explained. Is there another reason? He didn’t answer but told me I was going to need a current ID. I’m not sure what it was about me this particular day that would make me seem like I wouldn’t have current ID… but I assured him that I did.
I got my card. And two little ones to attach onto my keychain. How. Cool. Is. That???
Two other two employees sat gossiping and giggling. Loudly. I was studying. I was not pleased. Back in the day, the librarian wouldn’t put up with racket (racquet?)
However! They have a pretty cool room for quiet time study. I like that.

It’s a shame that because of funding issues, not every neighborhood can have a library like this. There are plenty of computers for patrons, even some in the children’s area. The staff is super friendly, and way over worked. The building is clean and bright. The selection is small, but because it is part of the Sacramento County library system, you can requests books from other libraries and they arrive in a matter of days. I’m a fan of libraries in general, and this is a good one.

My son, niece and nephew loves reading books. I bring them here frequently.

Library staff was great help while our cub scouts met there. Reference Desk helped us understand how to find the books on the shelf and look up via a wide variety of computers. It was simple to reserve the community room if it was available.

I miss the old North Highlands library. This library us ok. Better than the one in Orangevale but not as great as the one in Carmichael.
They never seem to have any books in stock so I have to request them. Thanks to express check out I never have to interact with staff, so I cannot vouch for the type of job they do.
The library is clean. The hours suck and the have next to nothing for used books to sell.
I’m looking forward to moving back to Carmichael.
