Aliante Library hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

The library is closed Sundays. The new library is a one story, 15,900 square-foot building that houses a reference, circulation, young adult and a children's section with an outside patio for story times. The library offers public access computers, adult and children's programming and meeting rooms in addition to books, videos, DVDs, magazines and newspapers. Other features include a special programs room, multi-purpose room, meeting rooms with kitchen, circulation and reference desks, book processing areas, and staff offices. The exterior building design complements the surrounding community, and the landscaping blends into the adjacent Nature Discovery Park.
