I visited this library for the first time yesterday, and I was impressed at this facility. Parking…read moreis free (at least for two hours) if you park at the lot that is connected to the library. You can either walk around or cut through the path to get to the main entrance. The bottom floor is mostly kids media as well as DVDs, and when I went the library itself was pretty quiet, so that was a pleasant surprise. The construction of the building was nice to look at as well, with a lot of glass and stainless steel, and there were also a ton of art features, such as the hanging jellyfish when you walk up the stairs to the second floor. There are rentable study rooms, but also a good amount of tables and chairs, and most of the tables had their own outlets to use as well, making this a great place to study. I took up a spot at a table that faced the ocean, and it was just so calm and serene. I would come again, as it wasn't too busy from 1-3 PM.

This was my first time ever stopping here, and boy was I impressed for a public facility!

And while my home public library in Culver City is up to the task and gets the job done, the environment here is on another level all together. Perhaps it has something to do with looking out on the mighty Pacific right? Lol Leslie and Ann were super helpful immediately upon entry as my guest and I had never been here before. In addition to their great customer service, the cleanliness of the facility also stands out. Would highly recommend to anyone.

This is a useful new service!

Especially nice shout out to Ramón at the front desk who is so helpful and kind and seems to know a lot of the regulars by name. Taking a point off because the parking can be really a bummer so give yourself time in case the lot behind the library is packed. TL/dr: tiny little local resource with tough parking

And since it's part of the LA County library system, you've access to a range of resources. My favorite resource is the free printing - up to 10 pages! As a resident of Redondo Beach, the Redondo Beach library charges 10 cents per copy, so I drive the extra one mile to this location and print for free! Your welcome! After you stop by you can head over to the many fine restaurants at the pier or nearby! Libraries always get 5 stars!

It's unfortunate because it has a great kids area with a nice play space and lots of books and DVDs available. We attended an event hosted at the library where we could meet seeing eye dogs in training. My child absolutely loves dogs and we were looking forward to meeting them. It was a 1 hour event and the organizers and trainers took the first 50 minutes talking about themselves and their program leaving no more than 10 minutes at the end for everyone to meet the dogs and some of them left right after the presentation. I don't know if you've ever tried to keep an excited child away from something cute and cuddly, but it is no easy feat. I felt like a monster for trying to redirect her away from the dogs during the unnecessarily long "presentation." This was poorly organized and those trainers were very self-absorbed. How could they not know that people only came to meet the dogs, not hear them talk the whole time. The library staff are very awkward and fit the unfortunate and typical stereotype of librarians who are quite possibly mole people.

The Peninsula Center Library in Rolling Hills is a beautiful and welcoming space that has become a…read morefavorite for our family. The children's section is particularly impressive, featuring a massive selection of reading materials and a dedicated playground area that keeps kids entertained. It is the perfect local spot for a productive afternoon or a fun family outing. The weekly programming is fantastic, especially the monthly Chinese story time. We recently attended a session led by Lily, who was wonderful with the children. She used a great mix of storytelling about caterpillars and fruit along with high-energy songs and movement. It was such a joy to watch my granddaughter get involved and follow along with all the actions. The facility is very well-designed for convenience, including the easy underground parking right beneath the building. Whether you are looking for a quiet place to read or an engaging activity for the grandkids, this library is a true gem in the Peninsula area. It's a wonderful community resource that we look forward to visiting every week.

Great staff that actually cares about helping people out, even when it's not convenient for them. Would definitely recommend this location.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I've been to this library a handful of times now and have tried to make it work. I'm studying for a…read morelicensing exam and figured I could study there on Mondays since the Culver City library is closed. However, I have noticed that most visitors, who appear to be transient, spend their time either sleeping there or setting up their belongings, which can range from several bags to small carts, and then leave to hang out in front of the building or in the parking lot with others who are getting high. I understand that the library is small, so space is limited. Unfortunately, this creates a challenging environment for those of us who are trying to focus on our studies. The noise and disruption from people coming and going, coupled with the lack of available seating, make it difficult. Additionally, I have noticed that some of the vistors sometimes smell of alcohol or marijuana, and some appear to be tweaking out, which further detracts from the study atmosphere. My hope is that changes can be made for the safety of all visitors, especially children, as it may be confusing or scary for them to see such behavior. As an adult, I am aware of what is happening, but children may not understand. It would be beneficial if the library could implement some policies to ensure that the space is more conducive to studying, such as designated quiet areas or time limits on how long belongings can be left unattended. This way, everyone can enjoy the library as a resource without compromising its primary purpose as a place for study and learning.

There's not a ton of seating, about half seems to be reserved for kids, but they do have quiet solo study rooms for reservation if you really need one.

And when I go to check out, the machine says that I have damage fees. When I go to the attendant in the front, I said the machine isn't letting me check out. She didn't even fully acknowledge me and said , "yeah you damaged the books" accusing me of something I didn't do. The couple ripped pages that the books had were already there when I checked them out. How was I supposed to know that the books I checked out didn't have the damage noted in the system. If they can see my account. Out of all the times I've rented, I've never once damaged any property. But the review is solely based on the attendant who was cold, dismissive, and accusatory towards me. As much as I really like the kids librarian that usually stays in the kids section, unfortunately I won't be back to this library.
