I have frequented this location a few times to utilize their free tool lending program which is what sets it apart from local libraries nearby. The most popular item appears to be their pressure washer. You can borrow other tools too, like even a hammer, lol. While LA county libraries are not my top go-to library due to the availability of books / availability of new books, their tool lending program that is unique to this particular location is why I come back. I needed to borrow a pressure washer one day and I was glad they offer this! Home Depot

Today was my first time taking my child to the library--I had no idea what to do... The staff were incredibly patient and friendly. Highly recommended!

I love this library and I grew up coming here every day when I was in middle school. Not only is this place great for books but they provide resources such as computers, movies, and plenty of tables and chairs to sit and study. There is also a children's section in the library where there are smaller chairs and picture books. My favorite thing about this library is that they have computers where you can print up to 10 free pages per day -- you just need a library card for this. All of the librarians are also helpful and available. Although, I will say that I have not checked out a book in a long time, but I believe all of the check out process is self-checkout with the machines in front. There's plenty of parking at the library and there's also a drive through drop off for the books.

People are quiet and doing their own things.  I don't see the meanie librarian at her desk either in the background.

The Rosemead Library is much more quiet now, at least during school hours. Even during these hours back then when there's no children, the adults inside the library were loud and obnoxious. Cell phones constantly ring, men and women talking really loud, and even the staff themselves were a bit rude. Hopefully they weren't provoked into their unprofessional attitudes. I hope the quiet ambiance stays like this so I can get work done without distractions at the office. What a huge difference compared to before. Please stay this way... at least before the children comes in.

Another Bring-Dog-To-Library Day for this mother and daughter.

See all

This is great customer service here. You can get 10 free printing in a day. I personally come here often than other libraries.

真是个小惊喜!本来没抱太大期望,结果发现Alhambra Civic Center Library的藏书还挺丰富,居然有一个专门的中文区!…read more 最让我乐的是,这里不光有中文小说,居然还有中餐食谱和种菜攻略,哈哈哈!这是要精准俘获我们华人同胞的胃和田园梦吗?甚合我意啊,哈哈哈! 图书馆门口的花圃也是一绝,每到花季简直是一道亮丽的风景线,拍照打卡超美! 不过,唯一有点小遗憾----那个免费可领的种子站,我去了几次都是空的。问了前台,也直接说"没有"。看着那么大个展示区域形同虚设,感觉错过了一个亿的快乐! 希望图书馆能把这个有趣的项目重新搞起来呀!

We absolutely love this public library. It's consistently clean, well-maintained, and feels very…read moresafe especially with the police station right next door. The children's section is adorable and a great space for little ones to explore. Occasionally you'll see a homeless individual wander through, but staff generally handles it quickly and professionally. One suggestion: the wall toys and kids' tables could use more frequent cleaning, as there's some visible grime from heavy use. Also, while the library offers a lot of great children's events, most are scheduled on weekday mornings, which makes it difficult for working parents or families with kids in daycare. It would be wonderful to see more weekend or late-afternoon options around 4 PM. Overall, the atmosphere, and the convenience of being within walking distance of so many great restaurants is great. It's truly a gem for families in the area.

During my visits to Crowell Public Library, I initially observed that the exterior architecture…read morecarries a historical charm and is visually appealing. However, beyond the building's design, my experiences within the library have been deeply concerning. Over multiple visits, I have encountered employees whose conduct has been inconsistent with professional standards. Staff behavior has, at times, been selective and antagonistic toward certain patrons, including both adults and children. On several occasions, this conduct has escalated into interactions that were verbally aggressive and physically intrusive in nature. Personally, I, along with my nephews, niece, and other family members, have experienced repeated instances of being singled out, harassed, and subjected to what can reasonably be described as hazing while attempting to use the library and its resources respectfully. These incidents have not been isolated, and I have documented several of them through recordings. The overall environment created by staff has, at times, felt restrictive and punitive rather than welcoming, which is not in alignment with the purpose of a public library. This pattern of behavior is unacceptable. Library staff and management are responsible for ensuring that all employees consistently uphold professional ethics, integrity, and appropriate standards of conduct--without exception or selective enforcement. I expect immediate review and corrective action to address these concerns and to ensure a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all patrons.
