Biblioteca Latinoamericana Branch Library

love the wifi and the fact they allow food and drink often go next door to the hot dog restraunt and bring hot dogs and diet soda here while i use the wi-​fi and get some real work done plus they have soda and snack machines inside and clean bathrooms

I only list as 3 stars because I have only seen the Community Center that they have in the back. Parking in the area is limited and it seems as if most people park at the Weiner place on the corner. I am thankful that have opened their doors to our school and allowed Rocketship Schools to have volleyball games there. Thanks a bunch.

I was here a few week ago to celebrate Womyns Rights Day that was being held in the plaza behind the Biblioteca.
It was a great days of honoring womyn, listening to great music, especially LaniGrooves and hearing great information about the environment.
As a Mexican American I am very proud that the city I was born in has such a wonderful library resource for the community. Unfortunately I didn’t spend much time in the library but I didn’t need to actually need to be in the biblioteca to know its great.
As a life long learner I think that community resources are wonderful establishments for all people to access and use.

Biblioteca Latinoamericana is San Jose’s exclusive Spanish language resource library. My full disclosure is that my Spanish is mediocre, so I’ve never checked out books here. However they were always very generous about letting my Americorps program use their space, so I’m fairly familiar with the Biblioteca. They have a good selection of Spanish-​Language books for adults and children, and they also have activities for children and teenagers in the community. The outside of the building has some fairly cool older architecture as well.
Some improvements could be made — the center could be expanded, the interior could be renovated, and the conference rooms could be less cramped. I also think it would be even better if the center were on the East side of San Jose, where most of the Latino population resides. Even so, Biblioteca Latinoamericana remains a valuable resource for San Jose’s large Spanish-​speaking population.
