It's a beautiful little library but unfortunately it's been occupied by "Gangsters" who spend their entire day here, day after day after day ....after day.
The problem is that so much prolonged time at any one place leads to a sense of entitlement (ie "mine") , the same way a homeless person comes to think they "own" a particular place on a public sidewalk & become surly 😡towards any approaching person. After a while you just don't want to go near there anymore.
I live near the library in Atherton but now I actually drive to San Carlos when I need to use a San Mateo county library (unfortunately they have a 'permanent resident' too but not as many as at Atherton) .
I ENCOURAGE LIBRARY MANAGEMENT to think of creative ways to minimize the problem of 'permanent residents' occupying the library at the expense of the average patron who wants to enjoy the library for a few hours periodically.
