There's a windchill around 8 degrees F outside and snow on the ground, but on my blog it's still a sunny summer day visiting the Fremont Public Library. Here's a lovely view of its (probably now frozen) lagoon out the south-facing windows.
Game shelves. You can't go wrong with Munchkin!
The library has lots of tech that circulates. If it was my local library, I'd be putting myself on the hold list for a Nintendo Switch. I've been dying to sample some of those games.
Enclosed patron lounge. Not one, but two, one on each floor!
The foreign language collection is amazing for a library of this size. Books in Gujarati? I had to look that one up. They also had Chinese, Korean -- all kinds of stuff besides the more obvious Spanish and Polish books.
The Indian languages are all separate. Even back in my day, when I was championing for a Hindi-Urdu collection in my library, I was only thinking of lumping them together. This is quite a progressive step.
I haven't mentioned them yet, but check out those shelf cards! Just about every shelf has its own card, with a succinct summary of its contents. I've never seen signage this good anywhere.
The quiet study room doubles as a classroom.
They have a big large print section, with lots of room for growth!
