This small library but it has a good variety of books, a computer station area, a few study rooms, and a cozy newspaper area. I was pleasantly surprised to find vinyl records and video games available for checkout, which is a nice touch. However, the toddler section is almost non-existent, and the children’s area is very limited with only a few books. Overall, it’s a good library but could use more resources for young children.

Quite a serene spot right on the canal in McCovey Cove, a block from Oracle Park. The workers are pleasant, there's security, and less desirables there lately. Computers, and a super easy checkout all add to a positive experience!

Oh it felt right at home, walking into the mission Bay library after 3 years.I missed you. I'm back home now.I enjoyed reading three books while spending an hour to charge my phone and battery pack to continue my exploration in the city.I loved the flower books and the creative art book.And enjoyed the view to the mission Creek Trail.

First the good- it’s clean, staff are pretty friendly, the overall library system in SF is amazing. Love the app! And this spot is quite convenient, near the T stop, mission bay, etc. My small complaints- the schedule is wacky. Often not open for full day. 2)The security guard shushes people if they talk. I know libraries are traditionally quiet but honestly I think it’s a mistake. We should encourage discourse. Talk about books, connect in any way. There could be a quiet room but honestly libraries are so underutilized- often empty-maybe it would help if people didn’t have to whisper? Tip toe? One of my kids even now, as an adult, hates libraries because he was shushed so much as a kid. I think silence is a leftover expectation. Better to create a warm environment. 3) Staff are pretty reluctant to help with finding things or checking out. They always direct you to the do-it-yourself kiosks. It’s just kind of sad and futuristic. I miss the old days when librarians talked about books or knew the regulars. That all said, I still love the library. It’s so radical that anything in life is free. And borrowing books is still free!

Phonograph records, compact discs, digital video discs, including Blu-Ray, are available. There are periodicals, fiction and nonfiction books, and a children's section. One limitation is that there is no easy way to print files from the public computers at this location. A few private rooms to reserve for quiet study or small meetings are available for reservation. Not too far from a Philz Coffee to one side and a riverside park on the other. The Peter Maloney Drawbridge and Gus's Community Market are also nearby. There is only paid street parking.

Will close down for the smallest of reasons. The librarians are extremely unhelpful and start huffing and puffing when asked any question. The security officer inside is very nice and helpful.
