    A small quiet library, very organized, plus they have a study room which is what I am always looking for for a library. The best part is, it is located at Sorensen Park, so if you want to take a break from studying and breathe some fresh air. Just go out the door on either side of the building and behind it is a huge park with kids playground, basketball court, fitness machines, picnic areas, and wide-open grassy space. Parking is not an issue, this library got 2 big parking lots and street parking is also available. Clean restrooms both inside the library and the one in the park. A water fountain is also available to keep everyone hydrated.

    My kinda library! Plugs ON the tables!

    My son loves the children's story time. We have been to a few and this is the best we have found. Children's librarian is very nice

    There is sometimes problems with finding parking but, you can always find street parking or use the park parking (unless shown otherwise).

    This library is fairly new and really nice. Homework club,…read moreLaptop rentals, DVDs, a small play relaxing area, computers all that good stuff. I usually go to the city library but I'm very close to county so occasionally I like to go. I've had a few visits here and staff is not approachable. It seems like they try to avoid you or just me. Lol The librarian is also not helpful. 1 years after my first bad experience with him. I approach his desk and just like the first time. He's in conversation with same lady and I walk up smiling waiting to be acknowledged. I ask my question and his response "it's not that easy" well no sh*t that's why I'm asking.... The books are not organized by A.R points, grade or age. Its sections with categories/subjects... 1st grade books are mixed with 5th grade even 6th. I have a 3rd grader. He's not going to search one by one to find a book. I usually put him in the 3rd/4th grade section and let him browse. I spent 30 minutes going book by book checking grade level The city library has books by grade level. I'm willing to donate some volunteer time to get the county library the same. Yelp 2020 3/100

    Great and very safe library!! Located directly in the same…read moreblock as the sheriff's department I assume nothing will ever happen here(: The library is small in comparison of many others. However it does offer a modern aesthetic and easy to locate book magazines etc Getting your library card is seamless. Employees are very friendly Parking is abundant Restrooms are locked and very well kept

    Small but convenient library…read more Despite being small, there is an adequate about of seats and there was plenty of parking. There is also a small book store as well. (+) has a seed library (+) has free Covid tests I like that LA County libraries also have a book delivery service for those who are not capable of visiting the library themselves.

    6/3/23 If I lived in La Mirada I would be around this particular area plenty of times. It also…read morereminds me of Lakewood-except the Lakewood Library is not as modern. I'm going to be honest, I stopped by on my way to the fmr mkt to use their facilities-very clean & well maintained, you'd have to be buzzed in to enter. I like that it has paper towels coz I prefer it over the hand driers. It might be better for the environment but not for my health (unless I know that they actually disinfect those regularly, otherwise it harbors bacteria). The lady at the front was nice. The quiet library is open & airy, perfect for studying or simply perusing books. It has a large children's section with newer computers. It's conducive to learning & broadening our minds. I was probably one of the few kids in junior high (did I just age myself?) & high school who regularly visited the library to borrow books. I was a regularly at the Ivar (Hollywood Branch) Public Library & know that when the Mac desk top first came out-Cerritos Library had a roomful of them (Cerritos tax dollars at work, courtesy of the Cerritos Auto Square & the Cerritos mall). In this area (City Hall), there's an Olympic sized pool by the Senior Center (I think there are a total of 3, one of which has water slides ($25 entrance fee, unless it has changed) Dang, I should move to La Mirada! Another place to consider -ing out!!
