The only libraries I've ever heard of open that late are law libraries.

Libraries have been cutting their hours back for years now. Some are closed for several days a week due to a lack of funding so you might need to find another wi-fi.

Good news: the hours are being at least partially restored, starting July 1.

Expanded Hours Approved for San José Public Library

Quote:
All 23 San José Public Library, CA, branches will stay open an additional two days per week starting July 1 under a city budget plan stewarded by Mayor Sam Liccardo, whose political support is helping to fast-track a long-awaited realization of the library system’s top priority.

Yes, but it stays open past 9 PM only for SJSU and local community college students, not for everyone. It stays open late on Sundays for said students during the regular semesters, but not on Fridays or Saturdays.

The good news is the San Jose Libraries will be going back to a 6 day per week operating schedule. I'm not sure of the exact date, but I think it will be starting in July.

Yeah, you'd probably have better luck looking for a 24 hour place with wi-fi. Some Denny's have wi-fi.

This website might be helpful:

Free WiFi hotspots wi-fi cafes coffee shops hotels wireless airports (what is wifi)

Another option might be a 24-hour cafe in a hotel/motel.

some snug denny's are ok but still they are restaurant not libraryes. I went some of the suju coffee which opens late but their wi-fi speed is next to a crawl.
