Merced Branch Library

Doing a great job during the shut in. Glad to be able to get a book. The hours are limited so check library website before you go.

This is a beautiful branch. It borders 19th avenue And Stonestown and yet is sonically insulated from it. There is ample street parking. The holdings, while small, are substantial for a small branch. The librarians and staff are all helpful. There is a children’s section that provides activities. There is also a beautiful, small atrium that provides a nice outdoor area to sit and relax in. The desks and tables and chairs are comfortable. The only design drawback is the men’s room where the lone urinal is set very low for young children. I have been to all of the branches and this is one of the nicest. Enjoy!

Great place, quiet, many varieties of media, books, movies dvd, music cd, many varieties of newspaper, large enough place to accommodate library patrons, staff are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, good enough of resources, many different languages of magazines, can make copies, a section of kids collection of books and cartoon and comic, many computer units for library patrons, library hours is convenient to users

Great place to spend a lazy but bright day. It has a cozy seating by the fireplace for cold days and an outdoor seating for sunny days too!nnI’m impressed that it is a green building. But the workstations are a bit slow and old - there’s some room for improvement here.nnAnd the book collection does not have many of usual technical books - it suits only the residential neighborhood.

I love the fireplace... on a slow day when no one is there, it's nice to sit down and enjoy a book by the fire. The DVD selection is pretty good for such a small location. Family friendly, lots of children bouncing around with their parents.
