    A great place where my little ones can hangout and learn. Staff is super friendly! Can't wait to attend some of their workshops.

    We love the Octavia Lab and hope that not enough people learn about it so that there's always room…read moreto play there but please learn about it because it's pretty amazing, but you just have to go through the proper steps to do anything there. But it is amazing but don't let me know that you know about it so it still feels like a secret to me. I don't want to keep the information because it's pretty amazing. Yeah, the library is great. It looks really cool. To validate parking you have to have your library card. Everyone should have a library card. There's a lot of benefits that you can learn about online. There are security guards everywhere here, even though there are also a lot of fun house people walking around. They still have DVDs and CDs that you can check out. I remember back when I used to check out VHS tapes from here. Watch out for books. Thank you

    The Central Library is WONDERFUL! Where do we start?…read more The building's Art Deco architecture is iconic. The garden is a small oasis amidst a bustling downtown. The collection spans 7 floors. The librarians are really helpful and knowledgeable about their departments. Their calendar is filled with a variety of workshops and cultural events. The wonders don't just stop at the collections of media... you can also try your hand on a creative project with the crafting equipment (e.g. 3-D printer, embroidery, sewing machines, etc.) in their Octavia Lab! The Central Library is a true L.A. treasure. So why -1 star? Two things: sketchy patrons, and run-down restrooms. I've seen people do some pretty nasty things from time-to-time (to put it lightly). There is security and police presence -- and let's not kid ourselves, we know what downtown looks like -- but I'd be a little more careful about my surroundings. Report suspicious activities, and keep the library safe for everybody! Then, there are the restrooms (especially the men's restrooms). Boy-oh-boy are they in disrepair! I've had to run through 5 different floors to find a toilet stall that isn't busted and at least has a latch. I get it, the facilities are chronically messy because the unhoused folks need to use them, but things need to be fixed!

Housed inside a former bank, the space already carries this grand, historic energy that sets the tone before you even start browsing. What makes this place unforgettable is how it's designed to be explored, not rushed. There are cozy spots scattered throughout where you can sit and get lost in a book, but the real magic is upstairs. It opens into a maze of rooms, each with its own personality, filled with carefully arranged books that feel more like art than inventory. At times, it genuinely feels like you've wandered into a dream. One of the highlights is the famous tunnel of books, which adds to that surreal, almost cinematic experience. Everywhere you turn, books are used as decor in the most creative ways, and it creates this quiet moment where everything else fades out. Upstairs also holds one of my favorite parts, a row of art studios featuring work from local artists. Every piece feels intentional, unique, and thoughtfully placed. Right nearby, there's a small coffee shop surrounded by beautiful artwork, making it an easy place to pause and take it all in. This isn't a quick stop kind of place. Plan to spend a few hours here, wandering, discovering, and just enjoying the atmosphere. It's one of the most iconic bookstores I've ever been to, and it absolutely lives up to the reputation.

    If you like books this is the place for you. It is awesome to walk through and look at all the…read morebooks. There were so many amazing old books to look at. The book tunnel was an impressive construction

Goal #1 was to print out the IRS EIN# for my new biz, as well as a few other documents. Goal #2 was to scan those documents down to an email. Goal #3 was to hopefully obtain some paperwork that would explain this particular library circulation policy. The customer service and staff here were solid and answered all of my questions as it pertained to the various loans, renewals, overdue materials, etc. The library itself is clean and they do a good job of maintaining a quiet, and productive atmosphere. And although I didn't see any today, on occasion it looks like they have security here. Would highly recommend.

There is so much seating area, tables so you can study and get homework done or just research. They have these cool little rooms if you needed to have a study group or small meetings as well. They do have a bigger auditorium for events or just conferences. Their bathrooms they have to buzz you in just because there are many homeless that tend to hang here. There are also other bathrooms that are kid friendly and you need a key for those. Their kid area is great and lots of fun books and areas for them to study and they also have computers you can check out for homework and fun games. I come here once a week and love it!
