Clayton Library - Contra Costa County Library

"Very disappointed in the current desk staff yesterday afternoon who was training another lady who by nature seemed very nice. The older employee training her was NOT nice to my child at all. Like she doesn't know how to deal with children, and people like that should not work at a library. The way she was with my child should not be done to ANY child. She didn't give my child a chance to answer himself a question, let him ASK a thing or to explain to him what a treasure hunt even is besides telling the lady being trained who asked my child very nicely if he had finished the treasure hunt as well -while my child wanted to ask what he could do to get something from there- the employee training didn't give him a chance to even answer but Answered loudly to the lady herself saying "NO, he did not. he is just curious. The treasure hunt will be all month" while shutting the thing in his face and dismissing him walking away from him. I watched and heard it all myself from the bookstore and HELD myself from telling her something myself and we left. I work with children myself, if it wasn't my child being talked like that but another I'd still feel and think the same way. I have been taking my children since they were babies and toddlers to this library. No one else has ever been rude like this inside the library as guests or employees until now. She definitely gave me prejudice looks and vibe since we walked in. Walking out she made it very clear she is not the type of person you'd want working at a library. The one that looked like she was getting trained was very nice and seems like a person you'd like to see greeting at the front desk at a library ."

"Great place for studying. They also have the option of picking up books from other CCC libraries that are set on hold for you. Only thing that sucks (especially when doing a long study session) is that no food or drink are allowed."

"Love this library. If they do not have what book you are wanting they can have it shipped over from another Contra Cpsta library. Many great children's books and activities to entertain while an adult can search for their books."

"This library is a gem. It has comfortable seating, views of nature out the many windows, plenty of books, interesting and changing exhibits. I have never had a problem finding a place to park. Seems to be surrounded by walking and biking paths. The staff is helpful. A bit of a drive for me, but worth it."
