Small yet modern library that offers so much in a convenient location…read more I love the self-check out counter where you can easily check out items and head out the door. The library counter is nearby in case you need a librarian to assist you. Free copies (maximum of 10 per day) are also available for library members. There is a small fee for each additional copy. You can also log on to a desktop for a maximum of one hour. Ask the librarian to open the bathroom for you because it's locked. Maybe that's why it's so clean! Plenty of parking behind the library adjacent to the park or the left side of the library in front of the park. Enjoy your visit!

Personally, libraries are incredible to me and I love them all! One of the reasons I go to Sorensen…read moreis because of the untimed, ample parking available. Unlike other libraries in the area, Sorensen doesn't limit your parking to 2 hours or anything like that. I don't understand how people can get work done or study with peace of mind, having to take all your things and move your car. Another reason I really enjoy Sorensen is the librarians that work there. Everyone is so pleasant and helpful. Although it's a smaller library, they do a wonderful job of keeping the place clean, quiet, and organized. Now, the reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is because they have a limited selection of certain topics. It's not really their fault, but it'd be nice to have a little bit more. The last reason is because even though their WiFi is great, for some odd reason, I can't use Tik Tok on their WiFi. Other social media is fine but it's only Tik Tok. This is a small issue for me, as I do some work in the social media field. Overall, please go here! It's a wonderful library that you'll enjoy!

Pros: Nice library. There are many tables available from size of 4 seats to personal 1 seater…read moretables. There's a couple long tables too that's shared, can seat about 6 people. It's a 2 story library. Upstairs have books and a couple small tables. There's an elevator available if unable to use stairs. Cons: the only complaint I have is that the staff at the Reference Desk get chatty and talk TOO loud. The thing is the seating tables to sit and read/study are right in front of that Reference Desk, so it's very inconsiderate and disruptive for the patrons trying to have a quiet read or study. I mean it's a library! It's supposed to be quiet yet the irony of the staff.

I was in the area already and decided to check this library out and get a library card as well. I…read morelove how modern clean organized and spacious. There's a lot of seating for everyone and there was an event going on in the children's section where it looks like a Star Wars theme/ picture op with the people dressed up as Star Wars characters.

On the corner of Serapis & Burke near Slauson in the lovely city of Pico Rivera you will find the Rivera Library. The parking is ample since it is never crowded. It is open TTH 10-8pm and Sat 8-6pm. Wednesday's this month feature Storytime & Art activities and The Magic of Tony Daniels. They have a nice quiet environment with enough tables, chairs and a childrens area. The place his very small but it is usually not very crowded. The air conditioning is awesome here, almost as good as the Ralphs grocery store. They have a few computers for use including one which primarily features childrens educational games. The have movies for rent which include recent hits such as Salt and many popular children's favorites. They have a calendar and various flyers in the front entrance. Near the door they have books and VHS videos for sale. I scored a great Calculus book for $1, it was from 1991 but it is more comprehensive than some of today's books. Feel free to ask about the tutoring, when we arrived a young boy was being tutored. I will be back with nephews and nieces in the future or by myself to study when I am not in the mood for the coffee shops, college libraries and bookstores.

I really enjoyed this specific library until about 4 weeks ago when they discriminated me. I felt…read moreuncomfortable and they should really look into this guy. He disturbed my meeting in a study room because he assumed I didn't have access to to it. I did I have been checking these rooms out for about 6 months. It belittled me and the entire vibe from that library changed after that day. They don't talk to me anymore and completely ignore me so today the least the guy with the glasses and beard youre very rude.

Last time I was here there were friendly professional employees. Limited books and magazines. Which is understandable. No where to park as well. Its kind of in a high gang area. But I had no problems driving through here. I give 3 stars because of the attitudes and service. The library itself is wonderful.

I've been coming here to study and it's been wonderful! You…read moredon't need a library card to come in and use their WiFi or to reserve a room but I'm sure the process is simple and quick. There are multiple tables and work areas to use and almost every table will have an outlet attached or within reach. They do not allow any food in the library but drinks are okay- I bring in coffee or matcha without any problems. Reserved rooms are for 2 hours but the wait can be a while so sign up early! The remaining areas are pretty quiet to work in but it does get louder than library noise from 3-5pm on weekdays when the students from the nearby school come in. Bathrooms are clean and it feels pretty safe. Definitely would recommend anyone who needs a place to get their work done.

I enjoy how strong the AC is in here and the staff are also very friendly and informative. I was assisted by the male staff here who gave me great tips especially with handling multiple library cards!! (I had to open a library card here as I didnt have one for this branch!) There's outlets everywhere, even next to chairs, which are super handy. Reminds me of my university library with how modern the lighting and furniture is, but way cleaner!! Lots of activities and clubs too over here such as Lego club or Chess club. Just gotta pay attention to the many flyers being displayed around. The hours here are pretty good and the Wifi speed is pretty handy. I don't really pay attention to how loud or quiet it is in here since I usually just keep headphones/earphones on.

In an era of new and evolving technology, this location does not have adequate access to charging…read moreoutlets compared to other local libraries. This location seems to always be behind everything in comparison to others. Yes, there are updated seating and tables with charging outlets, but they are not powered. I am disappointed with the slow progress this location has to offer. Many members have their own laptops, iPads, devices, etc that require to be powered. Hopefully there are more accessible and powered outlets available to the public.

It's a small library, but very clean and modern nonetheless. I like how most of the libraries…read morenearby have been remodeled or are undergoing renovations (ahem, La Habra, it's about time you finally reopened!). Anyway, I loved the horticulture section and need to go back to read up. The only thing is some lady was on the phone inside, and since it's a tiny building, you could hear her no matter what, and it made me leave right away because it just disrupts the whole peaceful atmosphere. I feel like they should enforce not taking personal calls indoors.

Came in today for the first time since the renovation that happened many years ago. The library is…read moresmall but very nicely organized and clean with very friendly staff. I came in for a state park pass and there was none in stock, which is understandable considering I was doing a walk-in and it's the peak of summer. The staff were helpful and check to see if there was any other in stock elsewhere, but there was none. A few minutes after leaving Teresa the front desk staff gave me a call to let me know that someone had just returned a pass and that she would put it on a hold for me. I really appreciate the dedication to serve the communities need and their help. Teresa, you're amazing.

Dedicated parking space, huge seating areas that allow you to just sit down, get the silence and do some work or study.

The Micro Enterprise Home Kitchen Operation, or MEHKO program now allows those with the entrepreneurial bug (and what they hope is a talent) to cook food from their kitchen. In my place, all I will do (at least for now) is make stuffed Bell Peppers... a la the name, The Holy Bell Pepper! The road to being in good graces with your city runs through LA County, so why not take the free (albeit all day) course (and the actual final test) to get the paper trail going for free! About 18/20 with reservations showed up for the class, with the final test consisting of 90 questions with you being allowed to miss as many as 30 to get the ServSafe Manager certification. And guess what? I may have missed 29, but I know I did not miss 30! After some serious memorization and seeing things through the lens of a safety inspector as opposed to a cook (my initial and major problem in the first round), I was able to quickly pivot. And while I won't know for sure for another week or so, I feel fairly good about passing the ServSafe Manager certification course. Wish me luck!

Once you upload the files you want printed and enter your e-mail address, you input it on the computer and pay. One of the employees that came out to help me told me that it'll charge the card $10 at first then correct itself. But on my bank account statement, I didn't see any payments go through initially, and a couple of days later, I was charged the right amount. It is 15 cents per page, convenient, and cheaper than Staples/FedEx. There is also a shelf near the front where they sell books and media for around $1-2 or less. The parking lot is a bit small and was already full a little past noon. It's kind of set up like the La Mirada library, right next to city hall.
