Overview
The Margaret K. Troke Library was dedicated on October 13, 1979. The library's namesake is the late Margaret Klausner Troke, who was the Director of the Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library from 1946 to 1974. She was a tireless advocate who fought often and successfully to improve and expand library services in the county and state. Among other things, she is credited with expanding the number of branch libraries and starting mobile library services.
The Troke Branch Library is located in north Stockton and serves the largest patron base of all the Stockton branches. The branch offers a circulating collection of library materials in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Cambodian, Lao, Hmong, and Khmer and maintains permanent and non-circulating reference collections. Newspapers and magazines are available for browsing.
The Library offers computer workstations for general use, including printing, scanning, and free Wi-Fi throughout the building. Computers designated for children are available in the children's area. A public meeting space is available upon request. The library offers a variety of regularly scheduled programs for all ages and features dedicated children's and teen spaces.

The place is clean and the quiet, peaceful atmosphere creates a fantastic environment. It is a good spot for a focused study session
My kids love this library! it's always clean and welcoming, and the librarians are very kind and helpful. The only reason it's not a perfect rating is because there are a few things that need updated or replaced, but that's definitely due to a lack of funding more than anything to do with the library itself or those who work here
Great library! The staff are patient and kind even when the older children come in hyped up. I've witnessed them set boundaries to not allow disruption to other patrons and security enforce them when need be. I've seen the staff coach and counsel a lot and love seeing that instead of policing all the time like seen in other places. I really enjoy this library, especially the activities they have for adults and children. Very community oriented, in my opinion.
