Tully Community Branch Library

Great Movies, Good Books, (and not to also mention I’ve been coming here since I was very young) However lately, I will not be coming back after today, for Personal and various reasons I can no longer feel…“safe” on a personal level.
Still good for other-​students. I, am currently seeing someone right now, but its not obvious on my profile on FB??? oh well I’ will still recommend this place, however -
Will not give my usual 4 stars I usually do for libraries. I grew up here, and Now I CANT feel comfortable? because of someone’s infatuation? I want to leave, soemtimes, and not come back, that is a feeling I’ve not wanted to feel about this library, at all.
GG

Cons: The wifi here is extremely slow. There are not enough outlets to plug in for personal laptops.
Pros: there are good amount of space to get comfortable

I would have to say get out and get some fresh air. They don’t have any wifi. However the place is clean for san jose. It wonderful if you have kids. They offer rent books and videos. The place to study and do your work are great. If you have spare few hours check out place and read and fill your mind.

You know? I’ve fully appreciated this library the past couple weeks.
Well, maybe it’s because I’ve been really lucky finding exactly what I want these days. They have been picking better & better titles, especially in the areas of physics and metaphysics which I am very passionate about!
There’s even something to be said about their media collection. The two shelves of blurays are lacking, but hey — the countless DVDs — I picked up «What the *bleep* are you talking about?» (a docu) and the actually really good computers make this place nice to visit
But then when you go outside the park’s out there and the trees get really nice in Fall, and if you’ve got a nice fixie you could take ride out on the Guadalupe River Trail. It’s convenient.
The staff helped me out quickly when I couldn’t remember the PIN, and despite the deficiency in hours I can really appreciate all the finds I came home with one day.
I get irritable around people sometimes LOL so I appreciate the 3M surrogates A–

Offers Tagalog, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Spanish DVD selection all donated by local patrons.

I was pretty shocked to find that the children’s section did not have any book on early explorers. The selection was very scarce on other topics like democracy and native peoples. The staff is friendly and answered all my questions but I gave a lower ranking just because this branch does not have the variety of non-​fiction children’s book that other branches have.

I am a fan of Michelle and the Library… keep up the good work…

I always love going to the library

Always too busy for its own good. There are always a lot of people at this library and it seems too small. You can reserve a room here and get kicked out after an hour because the rooms get booked fast. I think it smelled weird too after initially walking in. Can’t believe they didn’t build this place a little bigger during inception. Meh, I guess it doesn’t really compare to the other branches I’ve seen like in the SJ branches. Haven’t been back in a while…

My children and I used to go this library on the weekend. Well, now, it is all over. SAD! Is there anything we can do to bring back weekend section?

Bleeeh, I like to study where it’s quiet enough to hear the drop of a pin! You definitely won’t be able to do that here. There are a lot of people swarming around the video section, so it gets really loud. They do have some study rooms, but they are really, so I feel claustrophobic. I would come back here to check out some books, but never to study!

hours have changed open mon now also other libraries vary their days.
crowded but Libraries are the best deal in town. Summer reading on now. Programming seems aimed at the Vietnamese community.

I used to study here because its nearby my house but this place is super small and it gets packed her during 3– close. They have a tiny silent room which I used quite often. A lot of older Vietnamese folks come here to read their books and a lot of kids because they come after school. I don’t come here anymore because MLK is way better and bigger. But it was nice that they finally build a library nearby my house. They open on Sundays which is a plus!

Very cute little library. It’s relatively new, very clean and organized.
They have wifi, which I haven’t tried yet simply cause I live 5 minute walk away.
More importantly they have a real nice kids area where kids can read books, play games, go on computers, etc.

Out of the libraries I been to this is close to bad when it comes to library layout. I feel like its too dark in the library. I sometimes feel claustrophobic when I am studying there. It would make a big difference if they were to rearrange the shelf placement.

Totally found my new study spot for writing my thesis! Fairly quiet near the fireplace area and has great round tables for studying or typing. Free WiFi is an added bonus and there are plenty of little knooks near the windows where you can curl up with as good book.
Diversity is plentiful here, as there are all kinds of women, children, men, students and locales of all ethnicities. It’s truly a community library and I love it. Parking = plentiful & easy to get in and out of
The childrens section looks amazing but is not conducive at all for studying, so when you walk in the library vear to the left for the quieter part of the library.
5-​stars for my new spot and hurray for bringing in your own coffee/​snacks because I don’t like the sound of coffee grinding and stupid Nora Jones music when I’m typing my thesis.

Great Library. No Complaints.
I just wanted to tell everyone about a con artist that has been trolling the front of the library. Just tonight on 11÷4÷09 @ 7:25pm, a man by the name of R. Torres approached me. He claimed he was drunk and woke up in San Jose, he claims he’s from another city and driving his father’s truck. He claimed that his brothers in jail currently and he does not have enough money to drive back home. At first I was going to help him until I remembered that I gave $ 20 to this man with a very similar story involving his brother and his father’s truck just a year ago near Denny’s on Capitol Expy/​McLaughlin.
Be careful of this scam artist. He tries to show you his driver license and attempts to show you a truck he’s driving that’s under someone else’s name but I gave money to him last year! It’s funny he’s hitting the same area to scam for money.

This is one of the nicest and modern libraries I’ve been to. The staff is very helpful and courteous. Far superior to Calabasas library, which was a throwback to the libraries of my childhood… ICK.
Not a lot of parking available — especially when there’s a softball game at the park next door, but totally worth it!
Five book loving stars!

Friendly and helpful staff, The atmosphere is great with lots of nooks and secluded places for people who want to read in peace.

This library has an okay atmosphere. It is clean and quiet has lots of rooms for kids and of course there are books — so what more can you ask for? A small café and sitting areas are nice. There is a fire place but the few times I’ve went those couches fill up fast.
Originally I was slightly disappointed because the selection was more limited that some other libraries until I discovered that you can request books online. This means you can request from any San Jose library and it will be sent to your local library and put on hold. That is awesome, it increases my books selection a lot. Not to mention CD and DVDs. I don’t like checking out DVDs here though. The one time I did, it was too scratched to watch all the way through. That was a bummer.
