Absolutely amazing sewing classes, The teacher is fabulous. 3-D printer and the assistant in maker's space Is very helpful . There is a ton of stuff to do at this library. If I was a child that didn't have a job I would be there all the time
The Cesar Chavez library has many computers for public use with a library card or day pass. Budget-friendly printing is also easily accessible. There are helpful people at the help desk nearby who can support you if you run into trouble with the computers or printers. There is an adult wing and a children's wing for renting books.
The library is big and has a lot of amenities that you can use like printer, sewing machine etc. The employee who help with questions and cards are very helpful. It has 2 floors. The children area is very nice.
This is an inviting reading space. It is clean and spacious inside and outside. Between the building and the street on the Oak, El Dorado, and Park street sides are recessed courtyards with interesting and attractive landscape plants of many varieties. On a spring or fall day, sitting on a bench contemplating the peaceful scene is almost as wonderful as reading here. For reading, this place has a vast collection. Whatever your reading interests, you will probably find something here. If you have a specific item in mind and you don't find it, ask for assistance. There are books available from beyond this library's collection, whether you want a physical book (or book on CD) or you need e-content (ebook or downloadable audiobook). Programs for learning or enjoyment are also offered. During the recent, on-going pandemic programs in indoor meeting room spaces were put on hold, but through the website and the library's Facebook presence, programming continues. Not for my family, but out of curiosity, I watched a librarian host a program targeted to help moms engage their babies (yes, babies!) in learning play. It looked perfect for that age. People come to use Wi-Fi or computers available. Others look up old newspaper articles on reels of microfilm. It is satisfying have these options. Whether retrieving information on microfilm or computers, there are ways to print or send the information by email (or fax) or just save to a flash drive. (Very useful.) I have seen lots of changes here during the decades I have been visiting this place. Shifts to the layout inside the building have been made to meet community needs, all with engagement of readers with texts and other ways to learn or capture the imagination of young and old.
