    Such a fun book for kids. Some ideas are a little "dark" though. Love putting books on hold online and picking ones like this in person!

    I always put books on hold online and pick them up when they're ready. Self check out is easy and librarians are always glad to help check out if that's what you prefer. I used to take my kids here when they had cool in person events. I hope they'll have those again soon. Last year they had an In N Out kids' reading program where for every 5 titles they read they get a card for a free burger (earn up to 3 cards max per child). Such an awesome incentive to get kids reading!

    Came to this library earlier this week. I like the computer section here better than the one in La Canada because there are dividers between the computers. More privacy. You get 10 free pages for printing just like at La Canada library. Free parking- 2 different areas. Large childrens section.

    Great selection of artistic and beautiful pop- up books....unfortunately you cannot check them out. This is not posted anywhere!!

    Came here to check out the art gallery and library grounds after work and was glad that they close…read moreon the later side. You really do feel the opulence as you drive through the mirador entrance up this long driveway to get to the library. Free parking but it does get packed since many people also park here to access the hiking trails next to the library. This is a beautiful library and many people do come here to study as I noticed most tables were filled. However, there is a loud buzzing sound from the lights but I guess it becomes background white noise if you are used to it. Portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Brand, their family and how the library was are on the library walls so you can learn more about how it all started. The art gallery this time around has an exhibit from Thinkspace, featuring artwork of over 70 artists, on now until March 29, 2025. I really enjoyed the art pieces and took photos of the ones that really impressed me. The grounds features Brand Park, the Japanese tea house (closes early like 3pm), Doctor's House, which is a historical house, and a couple of hiking trails. Overall, a cool place to check out and just 15 minutes away north from downtown Glendale if you need to grab a bite to eat.

    We love this place. Great Library. Great park. Always amazing community events happening here…read more The staff is very helpful and friendly. Bathrooms are always clean. I always want to take pictures of the main building as if I never have before and I always forget the front doors do not work. Did I already review this place? I forget. Thank you

    As a mom of a toddler that gets pretty desperate to tire her child out, I appreciate this library…read moreso much. It's walkable for us (less than 5 min) and we love walking into a cool, fully AC'd library. Vivian that works here is so friendly, helpful, and informative. My daughter loves the art cart, and I love it because she can color to her heart's content - and not all over my walls at home :) Also a huge plus is the sweet security guard. He always greets us with a big smile, and makes sure to open the door for us as we enter and exit the library. I understand a lot of people complain about the noise level and the size of the library itself. Fortunately for my daughter and me, this place is perfect for our needs. I personally don't think there's been any disturbances noise-wise because honestly my daughter is the only one I've really heard making those noises... whoooops!!!! She loves to explore the books, furniture, crayons, and toys. And I love that she gets to exert some energy before dinner time. I am so grateful to have this as a resource at our disposal.

    A small but nice library for kids. Kids' stools and angled table available for propping up their…read morebooks while they read. I thought that was pretty neat! Wonderful kids' programs here. We came for a creative stop motion animation Lego event and there was a big turnout. Luckily we got there on time and snagged seats. People had to be turned away due to the limited space and supplies. Tiniest outdoor parking lot behind the library. Don't even bother finding parking there...just park on the street!
