It's been a while since I visited the library. I was looking for some specific DVD's to watch so we…read morewent there today. I walked in and was amazed at how much things have improved. They have a separate and special place for teens to come and enjoy the resources and quiet. There is also an area that is a work shop where they teach classes on computers and/or offer extracurricular activities. There are separate areas where you can curl up and just enjoy a book or rest in quiet. The place is so clean you could almost eat off the floor. A resident can be proud of what the county offers here.

I forget about the library. I get all caught up in the tactile overload of Barnes & Nobles (pretty…read morestationary! coffee! flashy book covers!) and the book snob in me LOVES judging a book by it's cover - then bringing it home to keep forever and ever. And read once. Maybe lend out a time or two. Haul it around in a box from one stop in life to another. Then sell in a garage sale decades down the road for 50 cents. My budget and my brain don't always agree with one another. So when I don't have pocket money for flashy book covers and coffee I home brew my own and head over to the OC main public library. Where they've got not just books but CDs and magazines to rent. Where they'll hunt down a book and get it in within days if it's not sitting on the shelf (or, in a rare instance, even purchase a brand new book just for me). And it's all free, minus the late fees that I accrue like it's going out of style. But trust me, six months of racking up late fees MAYBE equals 2 fancy B&N coffees, so I think I'm still ahead. If you haven't been to your local library lately - go. Try it out. The more we patronize these services the better they'll be. Your wallet will give you a big thumbs up too, it's a win/win.

I have visited this library branch twice now. Once for the wrap up book sale at the end of the…read more'25-'26 Books and Brews adult winter reading program, and more recently for an author event with Kevin Wilson. There is a decent sized parking lot but for that Books and Brews sale it was not nearly adequate. But for daily use, and for the author event, it was plenty ample to handle the patrons. It is clean and modern looking, bright and large and spacious inside. The back room that hosted the book sale and the author event is big enough for special events and has a wall of windows that give a pleasing view of greenery and plants outside. Makes you feel like you are in the middle of the forest. Staff at every LFPL branch are kind and welcoming. I can only assume I will be back here again soon enough, and you should pay them a visit too.

What a beautiful newer library! My kids and I visited on Saturday for the Penguin Party…read more And while the line was too long to see the actual penguins, we got to partake of crafts and other activities, all the while admiring this thoughtful space. The exterior is futuristic, definitely not giving the vibes of a stuffy library. And the kids space really impressed me. The shelves are shorter, easier for little hands to grab books and there are all sorts of kid-size reading nooks to climb into. That is one thing that really stood out -- smaller spaces carved into the large indoor area of this library. Even with a horde of children running around, I saw several adults able to find spots to quietly enjoy a book. Parking may be a bit of a challenge for big events; we had to park across the street at the Target. But on normal days I bet the lot is easy to access. What a jewel of a space!

I am an avid and enthusiastic library user and was in the area for a dogsitting gig when my checked…read moreout books were due. So I swung by to return them and stopped in to see if there were any easily findable books that caught my eye to check out. It is small, but it was lively. Folks setting up for a meeting in side room, people using the computers and using reading spots. I love to see it. I found a few books to check out and take with me. And I appreciate that this location also has self-checkout. I miss that at my temporary home library location, with the Main branch being closed for a year. A good sized parking lot, shared with a senior community center, and just off the J-Town main drag. Love it.

As an adult, non-college student, I got my first library card when the pandemic first started. I…read morelearned about the app "Libby" where you can listen to audiobooks and read digital books for FREE. That's right, free.99! I was also looking forward to using LinkedIn Learning (Lynda) to take advantage of free digital courses to enhance various skills. I was fortunate enough to be able to sign up for a card online but recently it expired and I had to go in to renew my membership. This LFPL was very clean and the staff was extremely friendly. There was open computers available to use and it was quiet. Once the pandemic calms down, I would love to revisit again and bring my son. Just finished my first book for 2022 thanks to Libby!
