Mammoth Lakes Library-Mono County

Love this library. For some reason Inyo county and Bishop libraries all have a one-​hour wifi limit, not Mammoth, and the wifi is fast too. The library is well kept, inviting, spacious, friendly. Big reason we frequently return here for skiing and hiking.

Compact but well designed and run library. Fast, free wifi that requires no login. Printing is 10 ¢/​page. Large selection of climbing books on the second floor.

Beautiful 2-​story library. Well organized. Don’t miss out on the DVD rental section. Set up your PIN so you get access to electronic resources. You can also reserve books and they call you when they are available. DVDs are 1 wk rental. Books are 2 wk rental. You can extend if not already reserved by another user. Make sure you say hi to maddie, local dog security!

Love this library. Perfect place to study & do homework for my Cerro Coso classes. Staff is very helpful as well.

What a lovely library! It has a story time for little ones Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:30 am where we sang songs, read a story and a librarian lead in a craft (in this case making valentines). I was so impressed that a little town had such a great library. It is obviously very well cared for and a great spot. My son is easily bored and we spent two hours in the children’s section which had puzzles, child friendly computers, various educational type toys, stuffed animals and of course tons of books — most impressively lots of spanish books. We will be back every time we visit!
Oh, they have books they sell for $ 1-​$ 3 and magazine for 10 cents! I picked up a few New Yorkers, what a bargain!

I absolutely loved this library! I found myself in a pinch and they totally saved the day. Thanks to big work tables, ample, quiet workspaces and free WIFI, I was able to get a ton of important work done remotely.
I was also really impressed with the movie rental selection. Lots of great foreign films, a solid new releases section and even a variety of great documentaries. I remember the old days when all the library had was educational, school videos. This library was almost like peeping into a Netflix account or a Blockbuster! It took me fifteen minutes just to pick a movie because I was so torn between all of the options. I’d guess there are at least 400 movies to choose from.

This is a beautiful 2 floor library and very large considering the fact that Mammoth Lakes is a very small ski town. Easy to find, parking is ample and the view from every direction is all mountain. Easy to register with the library if you have a library card from another state, if you are a permanent or temporary resident. I’m on a temporary duty assignment here and used my travel orders and itinerary to show that I’m living here for a short while.
They library assistants are helpful if you haven’t used a library in years. Easy to find your way around each area from biographies, sci fi, local books about the area, children’s section, computers for internet and index searching. Checking out DVDs, Audio Books, periodicals and regular library reading material is a cynch. If an item isn’t available, they will gladly put it on hold for you when it’s returned and they will call you to let you know it’s arrived.
Library is nicely appointed with lots of sitting areas quietly located and private if you choose to be in solitude and they have plenty of room used for meeting space. It feels like a very friendly and welcoming environment.
They offer weekly movies free to the public and have a calendar of events available for anyone interested in what’s going on at the library all month.
If you come to Mammoth, come see the library and feel free to leave a donation.
Enjoy!
