Located on 26 acres of land at Truxel Road and Bannon Creek Drive, the permanent South Natomas Library opened on October 13, 2001, in conjunction with the Natomas Community Center.  The first temporary South Natomas Library opened in 1994 in the Park Plaza shopping center.

The 13,615 square foot library features 24 public access computers, three self check machines and a community room for public use. Separate reading areas are provided for children and young adults, and a quiet study area is available for students and participants of the Sacramento Public Library literacy program. The collection consists of more than 60,000 books, periodicals, videos, audio books, and CDs. The branch also offers materials in Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Vietnamese.

The library hosts a variety of programs for children and adults. Among these are weekly preschool story times, offered Thursday mornings at 11:00 a.m. and Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. The library also hosts a series of toddler story times, as well as a number of special programs for school age children.

The South Natomas Library has an active Affiliate Friends group. The Friends sponsor many library programs, including genealogy workshops, poetry readings, puppet shows, and concerts. Through community donations and a semi-annual book sale, the South Natomas Friends provide valuable financial support to the library. The Friends welcome new members and appreciate the many community volunteers who generously donate their time in support of the South Natomas Library.
