A little tucked-away library that's pretty clean and calm. Their offering of newspapers has greatly decreased over the past year, even post-COVID there was a time they had the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle. These are all gone! Now, just the Fresno Bee and USA Today.

One of the books that I reserved online arrived earlier than I thought. Teresa, the Library Staff meAmber was very welcoming, helpful, and cordial. Another senior library patron walked in asking for help with some tax forms, and she politely helped her, even stopping what she was doing at the counter, led her to the section where the tax forms where located and took the time to listen and explain the different uses of the forms. There was another senior patron, who I believe was a volunteer. I also noticed how helpful and patient he was to another patron who was in her senior years. She was thankful for the assistance she got. The atmosphere was clean, quiet, and orderly.

Very good! They have nice displays, a wide selection of books, and a very welcoming staff. They also have curbside pickup and open restrooms, as well as handicap parking and entry. They have recently expanded some of there manga and graphic novels.

If you're Asian, you'll be told to wear a mask.

? I walked in, stopped, someone turned around, looked at me, he pointed to his face (to indicate, "YOU HAVE TO WEAR A MASK LIKE ME.") I walked out to my car, placed my mask on.

Came back inside with a mask, no one questioned me. Then I proceeded to walk through the library. TURNED OUT, A FEW WHITE PEOPLE in the library don't have any mask on ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️

On top of all of this, it was a skinny, tanned skin, black hair guy in a green sweater with black framed glasses (who look Asian) who gave me the finger to the mask to indicate that I have to wear a mask. I'm pretty sure he works here. He even helped a white guy who had NO mask covering his mouth and nose.

I have no problem wearing a mask and I think it's absurd that the majority of the people here (not including the workers) who are white, doesn't have a mask on.

As I walked out, I saw another white guy without a mask on, walk in, got some books, and walked out with the books. Never once he came back out, put on a mask to go in. ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️

This is a 5 if you are white.
