Oakland Public Library: Melrose Branch

A very convenient library, next to my school where I can always work and study. Now a days, I just work on my sketch books in silence. Very friendly staff and security officer. Always a quiet place to be. All thumbs up.

It's really good. They're so kind, it's close to my house. Great for working on homework and it's just an overall good library.

Everyone there was Super Welcoming!!!! Definitely Worth Checking Out!

They are really kind and work in the most peaceful library my son went to.=D

Not a huge selection of books, but the staff there are incredibly friendly and will suggest another library that has a larger selection to browse or will help your request book to be sent here.

Nice clean and staff very respectful

Great place ! Good people working here !

Best place to chill and relax and do work

Voted there today!!!

Great quiet library. I’ve been going to this library since I was a kid. I liked it so much to the point where now I’m taking my younger siblings to the library. They have a great selection of movies and books! I used to live close by so it so I used to walk there everyday but unfortunately we moved out, even though I don’t walk there anymore now I drive there. The staff is Great and they would be happy to help anyone is anyone needs anything. Hay personas trabajando ahí que hablan Español y por eso me gusta este librería mucho.

Gran biblioteca tranquila. He estado yendo a esta biblioteca desde que era un niño. Me gustó tanto hasta el punto que ahora llevo a mis hermanos menores a la biblioteca. ¡Tienen una gran selección de películas y libros! Solía ​​vivir cerca, así que solía caminar allí todos los días, pero desafortunadamente nos mudamos, a pesar de que ya no camino allí, ahora conduzco allí. El personal es excelente y estarían encantados de ayudar a cualquiera si alguien necesita algo. Hay personas trabajando ahí que hablan español y por eso me gusta mucho esta librería.

Positive: The layout inside of the library is roomy, airy, and clean. They have one single-person bathroom downstairs. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The internet speed on a Tues afternoon: Down 73mbps; Up 43mbps. The book selection is ok, but it's a nice and quiet place to work in. I like that it's not crowded.
Negative: No parking lot, sketchy neighborhood.
