Carmichael Library

About Us:
After extensive remodeling, Carmichael Library has reopened its doors on September 17, 2006. A new star in the Sacramento Public Library system, Carmichael Library reflects a multitude of improvements in customer asked-for, on-site, and online services.  Customers can enjoy a seamless and successful library experience, as defined by their own expectations.  They can choose their own method of interaction -- staff assisted, self-directed, or virtual.

Upon entering the library, customers encounter an airy, light-infused environment, enhanced by open ceilings and expanded windows.  The large adult-reading area is punctuated with open shelving, comfortable seating, a living-room style reading area that fronts an expansive window that looks out to a patio with landscaping and a charming pergola.  Elsewhere in the area, a tower window draws customers to other inspiring areas to read and work.

Teens@ gives teens their own special area, designed with them in mind. The space has diner-style booths; colorful, comfy “curl up and read” chairs; innovative computer tables; and a large plasma TV.  Exciting teen programs offered throughout the year may include craft programs, computer gaming, movie nights, hip-hop dance demonstrations, and more.

Close by is a state-of-the-art, 24-station, computer center.  The terminals provide access to the Internet, word processing, educational software, and the library’s online catalog and database resources.  The space is designed to allow the Library to offer a variety of computer classes for customers of all ages.
