Milpitas Library

My favorite place for reading and studying. Bright and spacious reading area, a lot of meetings rooms. And lots of events for kids and people in the community. The only downside is some people are coming to the reading area for sleeping (with big snoring sounds) and making calls.

this library also serves as a homeless shelter. Not safe for kids. Not a lot of titles, must place holds. Some genius decided to install a kids playground inside the library. All you hear are children screaming and thumping of their foot. Families decided to eat and picnic there. Funny how none are reading.

The only place where I can have some peaceful time with my toddler. Staffs are so nice, helpful and very thorough with all the process of getting a card and borrowing books. I got a new library card in 5 minutes. Ample parking space available. Washrooms were neat and clean. A lot of chair and tables available to read and do other activities. There is a specific kids corner as well where some toys are kept. Upper floor is where computers are available. Overall I love this place . And I am planning to come here even on weekdays now.

5 stars for library since it’s one of the few with tons of seating with plugs and opens later, bathrooms upstairs and downstairs, but … Who is in charge of refilling the vending machines? How are we supposed to see what the product is when the labels face the other way? Maybe this happens when the machine rotates things forward and they move and get turned around?

I dropped by the Milpitas library when I moved to the area to get a library card, and I was blown away by how nice it is! The building itself is gorgeous, the selection of books and other media is great, and you can even check out laptops to use wherever you want within the library. They even have the occasional used book sales, where you can get books for a really great price. The ONLY complaint I have is that their parking situation is a nightmare. The parking garage attached to the library is undersized, and it’s horrible trying to find a parking spot. Not only that, it’s so dense that it’s pretty difficult to drive even a small car in there. Other than that, this library is fantastic!

Nice library with 4 level parking garage! 📚

Great experience!!! It was my first time to sign up for any city library. I brought my daughter with me and sign up process was very straightforward. Within 5 minutes we both got library cards. They have a huge section for children's books. My daughter likes reading book and borrowed 20 book (limit is 100 🙂) also they have variety of DVDs for all. On upper level they have lots of computers for public usage and another huge book section for teenagers. They have laptops as well available to borrow for use in the library.

Very nice place for reading. It is open on Sunday! I would encourage everyone to give it 5 stars to distinguish it from other libraries that are not open on Sunday. There is a parking building connecting with the library. It has 4 levels and only the first level is fully occupied during pandemic time.
