San Bernardino County Library

Nice little library, with a small collection of books and DVDs. A lot of open space and mostly quiet when I had visited. Like a previous Unilocaler mentioned, one of the clerks has a very loud voice. But I think it’s probably from dealing with a lot of kids.
Tables throughout for studying, especially at the top floor.
Getting a library card was quick and easy. But I had a tiny issue when I turned something in the same day I had checked it out, and it hadn’t been recorded as being returned until I brought it up to them 5 days later. They were responsive in getting it cleared up for me.
They do an inter-​library loan with local libraries in the system and a few outside for a fee, so if you can’t find your book, they can get them from other locations. But sometimes there’s a fee involved.
Apparently, they now have access to
, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Like the booths upstairs. Open space, don’t feel cramped. Free Wi-​Fi. Only drawback is those people that come in to sleep and snore loudly!

Really like the covered parking at the south entrance, I think the only entrance, actually. Kind of hard to find, and very unassuming. Yes, it’s dated, but the openness makes it very conducive to finding a place to settle in a get some work done.
The openness and cozy setting forces most visitors to keep the noise level low, which is nice for studying and relaxed reading. No hidden cubbies to hide away in private, but I guess that’s a good thing in keeping the rif-​raf out… not me, are you serious?
Anyway, it was all good, and I’ll stop in again, if I need a place to lay over and kickback. Friendly, and attentive staff on my Tuesday mid-​day visit.

Easy to connect wifi, easy parking, lots of seating. Study rooms available. Lots of windows for natural lighting (I hate having fluorescents for hours).
However, this is a pretty noisy library. There are loud kids everywhere. I don’t recommend studying here unless you’re ok with noise or have good noise canceling headphones

This is a very relaxing and nice library. The people are nice and it is very clean. I am really all about this library. Amanda is always helpful to me and my mom. Peace and quite to get away from life and read a book.

This branch had a total facelift about a year ago. It was a small branch before. I liked it then because it had a cozy bookstore feel to it. I love it now because it is accomodating but I don’t get the feeling that I’m boxed it. I can’t say enough about the wonderful staff members they have here, very friendly and professional. I’ve gone to the Grand Terrace branch on occasions but I much prefer coming here. Kudos to Loma Linda Branch Library!

This branch library has an open layout between three levels with the reference library in the center of it all. The library is quite spacious with plenty of tables and chairs. There are three study rooms and a few dozen computers available for public access. WiFi is pretty stable here. It’s not a freezing cold meat locker like some other libraries in the area. The only flaw is that the reference desk folks don’t practice their quiet voices at all. The whole library can hear their conversations and they don’t seem to care if you glare at them. Their voices bounce off all the walls on all three levels– lovely, indeed. Remember to bring your head phones or ear plugs.
As for parking, there is a good amount of parking out front. Since Loma Linda seems to always feel like an oven, the City was smart enough to install roofing over the parking stalls. Thank you, City Hall!
Lastly, if you have a hard time finding this place (as I did), turn into the driveway just south of the fire station. Enter into the parking lot and go all the way to the end. The sign for the library is hidden– just find the finding just east of City Hall and the Community Center.
