Some people say the weirdest things here and I have seen watching obscene things on their computers. Would not recommend to bring children here.

Hemet WOULD have a library that is closed 3 out of 7 days of the week. It’s hard to get any studying done when people are having conversations in their outside voices, next to you. However, if you’re bored it’s an entertaining place to sit and observe the interesting people of Hemet that come through here.

They are hardly open, their late fees are way higher than the county library’s fees, the place is dirty, and there are plenty of homeless guys taking up tables. If one wants to use the internet they’ll have to wait quite some time and the time is limited. No place to sit. The parking lot is filthy. It’s going downhill quickly.

What a great library for Hemet. Ever since I’ve been laid off, I’ve had some time on my hands. So, I thought I would head over to the library. It’s so much bigger than I thought it would be. And centrally located in Downtown. They do have funky hours but doesn’t bother me. Ladies there are nice and help you out when you need it. They have plenty of seating, computers to look up books, and computers to use (for an hour). They have a nice children’s area. You can return your books outside first and then go inside and you can use the computer to check out. It’s great!

i love libraries. i have 6 library cards for different counties.
i hate hemet, but this library is not so bad. its clean, they actually have a good selection of books and the wait lists are not so long.
bad thing is that they are closed 3 days out of the week.

They are closed Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. That saddens me for my 4 year old son that is at home daily.

Lots of material to read and enjoy and FREE wi-​fi! Love it. Books and audio/​visual material can be checked out for 3 weeks which is average but generous. There is also plenty of parking and it’s located right in the center of town. I love that I can log in to my account from home and renew books and have books placed on hold for me.
Negatives: Limited hours, sometimes smelly patrons, and some of the staff isn’t so friendly. But no place is perfect.
Sign up and become a member, shop in their bookstore (great prices on used book), attend their annual HUGE book sale which is held upstairs, and walk in the Literacy Walk in the Fall. Support our local library!!!

I found myself here killing some time while my wife was on business. I got a free library card and got to use the internet and do some work for an hour before the machine shut down. Part of me has a problem with getting booted off the computer then I had to remind myself that it was free, free, free.
It looked modern and well-​used, kids, grandparents, young families. This place was providing a real service.
So if you have down time in Hemet, head to Hemet Library.
