Because I am often un (der)employed, I spend a lot of time at libraries, so believe me when I say that this library is freakin’ EPIC. The architecture alone is worth a trip. I like to sit in the quiet of the stairwell and ponder my life while picking my nose – that’s what being un (der)employed is all about.

Quaint.
This was a nice, quaint library — and if I was looking for books, which admittedly is what libraries are for, this would fit the bill. However, since I can no longer leisurely read books during the academic term, I could not enjoy this library to its full potential.
As a studying location, it was OK. There were no visible electrical outlets available, so my work time was limited to the life of my laptop’s battery. Of course, I recognize that my need for laptop power should not come at the expense of the Berkeley Public Library system.
Good library, OK place to study with a laptop.

This review is meant for the branch on Benvenue, not the main branch.
I love the small branch libraries. This one is a nice walking distance from my old cottage on Benvenue. I spent many hours there reading the newspaper, or magazines of some sort, after enjoying a burrito at Gordo’s or a latte at Espresso Roma. Unfortunately, public libraries attract mentally ill homeless people — nothing against them, but who wants to hear someone yelling incoherently in the bathroom when one is trying to concentrate on the New York Times Review of Books?
