Hercules Library - Contra Costa County Library

My children and I adore this library. Lots of space, great variety of books/genres, awesome staff. Events are fun here - always something to do. Great place to spend a couple hours on a Saturday.

This library is da bomb! Brand new with an excellent huge kids section, complete with a spaceship play room. Super friendly and helpful librarians. Private study rooms. Outside area with tables to eat at. I really love this library. We live in Pinole and come here often.

Not my local library, but I still travel here to study because it’s beautiful (and way better than the Pinole Library). Wonderfully designed to be very open and have a lot of natural lighting. Lots of parking, a nice alcove where you can study outside, and state of the art technology (still waiting for WiFi printing though). There are regulars that visit and it’s nice to see everyone from senior citizens to moms and their babies. The librarians are always very kind and respectful to the homeless (something you don’t always see).
I wish the hours were better, but I understand that that decision is above them. And I wish they had more available outlets! Very limited access. I wish the librarians were a little more aggressive about handling noise complaints — they literally let people have full phone conversations in quiet spaces.

Clean and orderly library. The librarians are nice especially in the children’s area. Always come here with my 4 kids.
I just hope people will keep their voices down and be more respectful to librarians and others who are trying to study.

We love our library. Clean and fun for the kids. The staff are sweet and helpful. First time back after they had closed for COVID19. Everyone in masks. We got a huge stack of books to make up for lost time.

State-of-the-art computer services, and helpful librarians make this spot a wonderful gem in Hercules. Great place to relax and read, do some research, or bring the kids for storytime. There is plenty of seating in this new building with notable architectural features and lovely views of a garden.

It was my first time back to the library in awhile, I had a few late library books, didn't have a library card and needed help locating a book, I was a mess. But this lovely young woman named Rachel was so sweet and helpful! Fantastic customer service from her!

I LOVE this Library! There are SO MANY different programs every month and whenever I need help the Librarians are ALL very helpful! This place is truly the HEART of our Community!

staff is very happy to help - kids needed a book for starting school and we couldn't find it. The staff quickly looked it up and found it within 5 minutes. super organized

I love our library. Very inviting and there is always something to do or learn.
