Stable, a little staid - Anonymous employee Berkeley Public Library Employee Review

Biggest plus is the people who work at the library are overall really nice folks. The library is also a beautiful environment to work in, a gorgeous space with an open feeling. Also a good rate of pay for part time.

Not exactly a con, but, this can be difficult at times... You must be ready to interact regularly with homeless folks and some people with mental challenges. Despite the issues that can come with this, i feel it is important that there is a warm dry place for them to go. But it can be occasionally unpleasant. There is good security though, in case of any issues.

Funding is more secure than many public libraries.

Staff is very cliquey, borders on bullying.
