    Such a cute library! I love the drive here - so much beautiful nature on a road that is normally…read morepretty empty. Though the library isn't the biggest, the staff here are super friendly and they have unique offerings. Their Friends of the Library section is decently stocked, but what sets this location apart is they also sell cards! Many occasions - holidays, get well soon, just because - it's really cute. A few other things that makes this library unique: 1) They have free seed packets for bee-friendly flowers; 2) There's a scavenger hunt for kids - if they find everything, they can pick a small item out of a container to take home; 3) They have a play kitchen and market and a few tables where kids can do different activities; 4) Their selection of audiobooks for both kids and adults is pretty impressive. They also have a monthly calendar, some newspapers, and brochures, along with staff recommendations and board games to check out. Very cool!

    This library is located in the Silverado-Trabuco Canyon area, surrounded by hills that went up in…read moreflames in 2020 (and thankfully saved by firefighters). It's a very small library in the OC system, half devoted to children and half to adults. Having driven by it countless times but never having a reason to stop (because until recently I've worked nextdoor to a library) I finally decided to check them out. They have an abundance of parking. Inside, there are a few computers for patron usage, one of which I used to sign up for a library card. With a library card you can check out things from the library as well as have free online access to Overdrive and Hoopla for ebooks. Staff were very friendly and helpful in answering a couple questions I had. Shelves were well-labeled for their little collection of books, audio books & DVDs (yes, they still exist). The children's section had a few play areas amidst the bookshelves and seemed very inviting for a youngster. In fact all of the patrons I saw here were moms with kids. They seem to have a lot of programs for children. For families in the area this is a wonderful library.

    This has been a great library that I often go to because it has a nice old fashion feel to it yet…read moreis also able to adapt to the modern sensibilities of today's generation. There's a bookstore inside, programs that you can get involved with, resources you can access, and a good staff. I am always grateful to be able to make a trip here and I hope to continue to do so for years to come.

    A sizable amount of my childhood was spent at the libraries in my schools and city. Henceforth,…read moreI've always been partial to visiting these institutions, which led to me selecting this location to collect vote-by-mail (VBM) ballots for the Riverside Registrar of Voters leading up to the Presidential Primary Election in early 2024. I spent many hours observing the patrons and employees, as well as wandering the facility, and these are the results. First, the location is excellent. Not far from the municipal buildings, fairly close to the 91 Freeway, and on the lower edge of the sloping foothills that makes Corona one of the least efficient cities to travel around. Fortunately, the library doesn't share that flaw. Inside is a long hallway lined with the circulation desk and many displays of artwork and Lego models. These are rotating decor, but it's fun to watch kids casting votes for the best item. Another grand hallway joins perpendicular to the main one and this leads to the extensive children's section, and also has passport services and a sizeable Friends of the Library bookstore (separate review for that). Computers, conference rooms, instructional classrooms, and study rooms are available. A couple other favorite areas Include the large boardgame section and Teens area with its impressive selection of Manga anime and studyhall. Even if the same bad middleschool kids got kicked out almost daily for being loud and obnoxious, it was entertaining. A co-worker commented one day after the second or third incident: "There's the instigator, the girl with the red sneakers." Good times. On a personal note, it's nice seeing that some kids still read and enjoy visiting the local library.

    I usually visit a smaller branch library in the OC library system but have recently started…read morechecking out books here. The selection is much larger than most other libraries in the OC system and, as a voracious reader of nonfiction, they have much more on their shelves. The library is clean and well organized with comfortable seating here and there. They have multiple self checkout stations and helpful staff at the front counter. A self checkout station I recently attempted to use kept telling me the book I was trying to checkout didn't exist so I went to the counter where the kind fellow working quickly checked me out with no problem and mentioned they were aware of an intermittent issue with the code reader at one of the stations, likely the one I was using. Their restrooms are kept immaculate and they have a Friends of the Library store where used books can be purchased. Plentiful parking is available as it is located at the edge of a large shopping plaza; very convenient if I need to pick up a bottle of wine to go with a book.

It is only one of the handful libraries that have self-checkout kiosks. I'm kind of old fashion and prefer seeing a librarian so I don't mess it up. The adjacent Friends of Library bookstore is open Monday through Saturday. It is one of handful places I can buy used books in South OC these days.
