Great place to study; good wifi connection. Very homely/friendly staff. Only problem is that don't have group study or conference rooms, hence people end up talking and chatting in teen area. Another issue is the lack of electrical outlets near the desk area.

Really nice library with plenty of parking and good wifi! There are a lot of quiet areas too to sit and do work or study, and there are a lot of books. Really comfortable library, and although I didn't get to come here for long, it's definitely somewhere I'd consider going to get some work done or i...

Please increase hours at a few libraries, have a few 24 hr libraries or open very early rather than having so many fancy smhancy branches. Public libraries are the last place where people with no/few resources can gain the knowledge and skills to compete with people with much higher resources. Inves...

Just after graduating from San Jose State University, I went to the Sunnyvale Public Library to research a company for an interview. After a librarian helped me find the information I needed, I spend a few hours reading in a very quiet environment. The librarian also directed me to the NOVA Job Cent...

The existence of the Yanggu County Library can be said to have largely solved my "book shortage". The library has a large collection of Chinese books. The process of borrowing and returning is very convenient. I hope that more good Chinese books can be imported in the future.

There were many desks and seats available in the library. There was even a quite area where you could expect a high quality working environment. Parking was also pretty easy. The only reason I didn t give it a five star was that the restroom right next to the entrance was a little bit smelly even th...

This is the only library in the whole entire city. Because of that, it can be crowded at times. It has a very good selection of books, newspapers, magazines, DVD, video and computer games, and lots of computers. It even has a section where it is a quiet area. They have a business section, where ...

Good place to do work but Bathrooms are not great and although the wifi works fine I believe they recently setup some kind of firewall which prevents me from using VPN properly. It might be nice if there were some private meeting room that can be used sometimes (like at MV)

I moved from Mountain View to Sunnyvale a few months ago and have quickly grown to adore the Sunnyvale Library. I really appreciate the variety of online services as well, including access to technical books. They also do an amazing job in supporting *all* members of a community in which English i...

The staff at the library really has gone out of their way to overcome the pandemic limitations. To best take advantage of the service, I encourage you to put your items on hold and then call ahead when you want to show up.

When I do these two things, I walk up, tell them I've arrived, and a few m...

I love this library. Great book selection, good internet connection, lots of DVDs and BluRay movies to choose from. Really interesting programs and speaker series.

Lovely little library, super helpful staff, and good community programs. My only gripe is that it is relatively small. Not that its small size is particularly limiting with inter-library loans. As long as you can wait for the book to be delivered, and can live with the LINK+ constraints (e.g., limit...

I'm 61 and have loved libraries my whole life. I have high blood pressure & my ankles swell. I've been in Sunnyvale for a couple of weeks now & plan on being here for a while longer. I spend much of my time at the library online. I need to put my feet up occasionally, yet twice now the same person h...

What a wonderful library! Nice kids' books selection (haven't explored the adults' section so much yet), including some foreign language children's books (I noticed Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Russian, among others). And so many community-oriented events. Very impressed.
