First time here! There were so many books here to choose from, the people were very friendly and…read morehelpful, and I had so much fun. There are lots of plenty of places to sit.

Yeah lots of books, and it's separate from the OC system so you get a different selection. But the…read moregood stops there. The staff and culture of the staff here is clearly NOT kid friendly. They are the "strict grumpy old people librarian who doesn't actually LIKE kids but has to deal with them daily and pretend to be professional" kind. Lack of compassion and empathy or willingness to do anything besides exactly what they absolutely have to do. My kids, who LOVE all the other libraries we frequent, hate going here and call it the, "cranky people library".

All the computer are turned off ! 5 o'clock closing time. No warning they just all turned off. Small notice probably had something covering that window on the computer screen. My document was sent to the printer & spooled - final print mode. But everybody's computer turned off exactly at five despite if there documents were sent to the printer. But if the computers are turned off. It won't print them. Please fix this situation somehow in someway. I do appreciate that the last two times I went there and had issues with something. (or somebody else did). Someone was kind enough to quickly help from the front desk.

I'm glad that OC decided to renovate and keep this branch open. It's one room and has some books,…read moreDVDs, computers, CDs, games, etc. but it's not large like a traditional library. But that's OK for me as it's a place for me to easily return books, pick up books I reserve, and grab a quick read when I need it. It's super-convenient for when I run errands to Aldi, UPS, Coffee Bean being the same plaza and also great for Laguna Woods Village elders. For people who are looking for a usual library, there are several within a few minutes drive: 1) El Toro - 7 minutes away on the El Toro 2) Laguna Hills - 7 minutes 3) Laguna Beach - 16 minutes away (my favorite, great view of beach, not huge but good variety of books)

This is not really a library. The one staff person called it, "A satellite."…read more The place is inside of the Laguna Woods city hall. To say what it is would be to describe what it has. It has a single bookshelf of books. It has a bookshelf of dvd's. A couple of computers. A book return drop. A person who can order books through a library loan system. What it does not have is tables to sit down and read. It is a place you can go to pick up a dvd, use a computer with internet, request a book that may take a couple of days, and return a book. The people who come here appear to be seniors. I believe the place is for seniors to use the internet and request a book. The disappointment of the place is that "mini" or "satellite" is not in the title. Just the word library is enough to make me think the place came with chairs and tables and more than just a single bookshelf.

If you are visiting Laguna Beach, the library is a must stop visit. I love visiting libraries and…read morealways wanted to check out this one. They have a little secret garden right outside the entrance for anyone to visit. It makes me want to try and build my own little fairy garden. The library is a pretty nice size with the children's on the left and the adults on the right and teens kind of in the middle. My daughter did a search in find and got a magnet book mark for completing it. The friends of the library have a book shop right below. Definitely check out if you love books and best of all it's free to visit the library.

This is one of the cutest libraries I have ever walked into…read more It's like an adorable boutique library, with a full on fairy garden with sculptures. And a super cute little bookstore connected to the library just to the right down a few steps, very dog, friendly extremely people friendly, and the price of the books are extraordinarily affordable. I found several. Some of them are for me and a few for friends that I know will appreciate the good reads.

I was confused at first when my GPS took me to Ladera Ranch Middle School but quickly realized this…read morebranch of the OC Library is part of the school and you park in the school parking lot. Once you enter the building you must go upstairs (or take an elevator) to get to the library (otherwise you end up inside the school). This library is one of the smaller branches I've been to and the layout was initially a bit confusing to me. But I soon found the adult non-fiction section and located the specific book I was after. I didn't spot any self-checkout stations so went to the front desk where a pleasant gentleman took care of things and sent me on my way. I'm rarely in this area so doubtful I'll be back and instead will take care of the book's return via the OC Library's sytem where one can return a book to any branch and it will be transported to the correct location.

The library is in between the middle school and the elementary school. You have to go up the steps…read moreto get into the room with the large stairs leading up to the library. Once you're through the first doors to get into the library, there's a US flag drop off box for tattered flags to be disposed of. There's a voter ballot drop off box next to the library. There's plenty of parking in the lot on a weekend morning. I walked in here looking lost and the librarian at the circulation desk immediately clocked it. She helped me find the self print area. The cost to print is 0.15 per page. Printing was quick. I forgot my PIN for my library card but I was able to update it quickly so I could add funds to pay for the label I was printing. The stairs had some rubbish probably from the students who come through here. The library is a little small but I didn't spend too much time to get to peruse all their selections.

I could have had it sent to a library closer to me but I knew I'd eventually be in the area so I stopped here while running errands one day. It's located at the civic center where there is plenty of parking. The library is small but seemed to have plenty of places for patrons to sit. It was very quiet on the Thursday afternoon I visited. I noticed they have a good-sized children's section as well as a "Friends of the Library" used bookstore at the entrance. Once inside, I quickly found the book I was after, used the self-check-out monitor at the front desk and was quickly on my way.

Gem of a library since the remodel!…read more Very well organized and clean! Super easy to find all the books I was looking for -- and even books i wasn't looking for. I left with quite a stack! They had a great "recommended" table at the front. They were also promoting two books clubs that they have through the library; I'll definitely want to take a closer look at those in the future. I appreciate that this library is a part of OCPL and not independent! 2026: 55/100
