San Jose is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and San Jose follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Very nice place to sit with your laptop and get some work done! Some of the desks have charging points too. Plenty of parking - there's a dedicated parking lot, okayish street parking (2hr limit) and another lot nearby (3 hour limit).

I brought my kids here and they loved the children’s section. Lots of books and activities for them, and it feels safe and friendly.

Such a nice and well-maintained library! They have a wide selection of books for both children and teens. The reading spaces are clean, organized, and very inviting. I also love that they have a play area for toddlers. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Will definitely visit again when I’m back! πŸ“šβœ¨

Great library. Nice location. Only one study room though for only one hour. Need more San Jose library cards to renew. People are nice do friendly and like to help and support. They did help my mom create her library card. The lady was so gentle and nice. The book collection is huge but need more French and Arabic books / so rare in this library or any San Jose library. I love the place and the library in general and I highly recommend this branch.

Cozy library dwelled in the residential area: beautiful architecture with a center yard under a huge tree. Big children space with multilingual books. Not crowded at all. Really comfortable and lovely atmosphere. A few min from downtown so you can go to the restaurant after library trip.
