Several library patrons used the public-comment period to praise the San Mateo County Library System, highlighting its programs, makerspace equipment and bilingual services. Comments described the library as both a community hub and a personal link to family memory.

Speaker 1, a library patron, said, "I love the San Mateo County Library System because of the vast variety of programs and services that are offered, things that you'd never expect the library to offer." The same speaker also told the meeting, "We have the best library of any county in The United States," and praised bilingual resources and arts-and-crafts workshops.

Speaker 2 said the library helps them "stay connected to my mom and dad who are deceased," explaining that both parents were avid readers and library patrons and that visiting the library preserves a personal connection. Speaker 3 described the facility as "a safe, warm place" where they can sit and read when they want.

Speaker 4 emphasized hands-on resources available to patrons, saying the library's makerspace allows users "to make 3 d printing," and naming a Glowforge as an example of equipment patrons can use. They also commended the staff for being "very kind and very helpful, so patient."
