    It's an okay library, but much too small. My dad always took us to Westminster library instead, because of the bigger book collection.

I actually am sitting in my car in the parking lot after briefly walking into to help the kids with homework. As soon as I got back to the car, I checked Yelp to see if they enabled no/half star ratings. The library is overflowing with homeless people. They are now all over the Children's areas and the smell and condition of the library is unbearable. It's clear that the city is enjoying their apportionment of homeless funding in exchange for helping them get into public spaces for shelter. As a result of this, the library, which ironically shares a parking lot with the police station and another gov building, is unusable for its intended purpose. Its smell is so putrid and heavy, my kids commented as soon as the door opened to enter. We searched for a place to sit that wasn't so rank or close to the homeless, but there was nowhere to sit. The other students in the building were also commenting, so it's a feeling shared by others -- not just myself. Looks like this library has been ruined.

No. Those places have lots of money. What Garden Grove library on Chapman has, is soul. I have been coming to this library on and off since 1969 When my family moved five miles from eastern Garden grove to mid-city. Mom brought my sister and I here every month as we grew. Then we would walk or bike here as adolescents.There were competitions to see who could read the most books over the summer. Library staff with fashion poster board with little fish that moved forward for each child competing. I don't think I ever won, but if you think about it, I did. I returned this month to get a library card. I was looking at ways to decrease the cost of life. I decided I was spending too much on audiobooks. Now I can access audiobooks and e-books for free. Love love love. The library staff used to support kid and grown up classes, but none I'm aware of since COVID. I miss the art classes. You'll run into your neighbors and make friends here. All gratis and wholesome as heck.

I went here to print out a return sheet for an Amazon order, and instead of 15 cents. I was charged $10. I was mad as hell.

She even showed me a sign as proof that this happens to a lot of people, not just me. Her kindness and professionalism quickly melted away my anger. I was thankful for her honesty and I left the library feeling much better. I was so close to writing a 1-star review. But thankfully the staff member was kind enough to explain this to me.

They even have a multipurpose room! Even though this might sound crazy within those rooms they have more rooms.

In the middle of all these other rooms, they have a big wide open area where there are tables that kids can do arts and crafts, and they have tons of books . I didn't know this library existed, but my niece invited me to story time. I was speechless. This is going to sound crazy, but storytime was a blast! The person who did story time was amazing with all the children! She knew how to keep them engaged and had their full attention! She was very sweet as well! Thinking back to my younger years I don't ever remember a library being this amazing! Or nearly as cool! It literally felt like I was transported to a different world. Definitely will keep going to this library! ((if interested in story time or want to bring your little ones for some summer activities right outside of the kids place/room they post what events are going on within that month))

She is holding a classroom setting. Clapping hands and singing songs for the whole time. When someone was using a cellular phone, the staff immediately went to intervene him.

My toddler son and I immediately felt welcomed and nurtured. Our second visit was where I knew that I wanted to make this our home library; after one Story Time encounter Miss Lindsay had memorized who my son was & his name. She treats littles like they truly matter and are special. And her enthusiastic spirit makes each Story Time captivating and exciting! The children's section is thoughtfully designed with colorful decor, small chairs and tables, loads of toys, all types of puzzles, plenty of STEM toys and an extensive collection of books that cater to all ages and interests. They have huge collection of children's books that includes: board books, picture books, early reader books, wonder books (that read to you!) and fun audio books for kids just to name a few. They also have a AWE Learning computer that my child loves! What truly sets Tibor Rubin Library apart from others is how welcome they make you feel. They welcome all patrons and bring a sense of community and importance to all who enter. Their staff is fiercely dedicated and have always gone above and beyond for us. I have received much help and support from their staff, including help from Miss Chloe to help sign my child up for school. They offer a fantastic array of programs and activities tailored to children and families. Story Time is our family favorite and is very interactive and includes music, games, dancing and bubbles. Some Story Times also include crafts or STEM like experiments which my toddler loves. We've also come to many of their Special Events and have been been blown away countlessly by what a "library" can offer. In April Miss Jenny made sure we knew about 'Children's Day' where she had organized a fantastic day supporting children with a Youth Lion Dance Performance. It made an everlasting impression on my child and myself. It was absolutely spectacular! The library also caters to adults and teens in the community. I personally came to the Author Discussion of Arlene L. Walker presented with Miss Chloe and found it incredibly engaging and fascinating. There were so many great questions that lead to meaningful and engaging discussions - where I felt like I gained a new sense of wisdom. Tibor Rubin is a true community based library that creates a sense of belonging. They offer a safe and nurturing space for young minds and for everyone who goes. I love how quaint the library is and how everyone makes it a point to know you and your child. It's a place my child and I feel safe and welcome when visiting. Thank you, Tibor Rubin, for being a beacon of positivity and learning in our community. We are incredibly grateful for all that you do for all us!

I think now it's now famous as the home of Elizabeth Taylor's 7th and last husband. The "City of Stanton" in a governmental sense wasn't bad. They provided a great library and Boys & Girls Club. My first play "California Suite" was at the Stanton Community Center. All of our potholders had come in the mail with the names of Stanton's councilmen and representatives. Did that happen everywhere or just Stanton? As a city, it's okay. I lived in Stanton for almost all of my pre-adult life. It was a quick bus ride to Huntington Beach (sometimes we rode our bikes the 12 miles), and a straight line to Disneyland, just five miles away, close enough that we could see the nightly fireworks that served as an unofficial curfew to come home. I attended Savannah and Mary Perez (both gone). For fun, we had a Golfland, Stanton Village Edwards, annual St. Polycarp festivals, trampoline basketball courts, and the unique Hobby City (now Adventure Land). Though we were regulars at an independent Mario's, the best places to eat in the late 70s were Sundowners (cafeteria style), Me & Ed's (especially after a game), and Pinnacle Peak, where they'd cut off your necktie and hang it, if you were stupid or silly enough to wear one. Like many California cities, it had become populated due to a railway. The LA Interurban ran straight from Watts to Santa Ana in 1905. I, too, would run straight from Watts. Named for LA assemblyman Philip Stanton, the rural area grew and was incorporated in 1911, and although it was then the largest city in OC, Anaheim had planned to use it as their "sewage farm". I think some of the seeds are still there. They dis-incorporated in 1924 to avoid the cost of road building, and re-incorporated in 1950s with the post-war population explosion. Around that time the railway no longer carried passengers, but became my shortcut to junior high. As of 2010, the population was 50% Hispanic, 23% Asian, and 22% white, with a median household of nearly 4 and an income of $51K. Though Safewise included Stanton in their seventh annual "California's 50 Safest Cities" report in 2021, the only time I was "mugged" was two boys taking my newspaper money. It was a little shadier back then. I think the guy running the Olympic torch down Katella (which I witness in 1984) was running a little faster than normal.

Simon, a small campus cat, was allegedly struck with a rake by a Cypress College employee. He suffered severe neck and spine injuries and had to be put down. How do you do that to a defenseless animal just trying to survive? Craig Lee, Director of Campus Security, oversees the area where people leave water for the cats. Yet those water sources are repeatedly destroyed. Dr. Scott Thayer has claimed the school provides water for the cats, but that's simply not true. Community members are constantly rushing to bring water because the cats are left without it. Between 2023 and 2024, the campus cat population dropped from 26 to 23. That means three cats are unaccounted for. Where did they go? What happened to them, Dr. Thayer? These are living beings--deserving of answers and transparency. There are also serious allegations that employee Tim Noriega has trapped cats with the intent to kill them. If you have any knowledge of animal abuse at Cypress College, please report it to law enforcement. And if you work at the school and face retaliation for speaking out, document everything and contact an employment law attorney. Simon's story is heartbreaking, and the disappearance of other cats raises grave concerns. Students deserve to attend a college where animals are treated humanely and accountability matters. Until Cypress College addresses this, I cannot recommend it.

While I do think Bookoff in general recently raised their prices (e.g. Blu-rays averaged $5 but are now $7 apiece) thanks to market conditions, you can still find some great deals like $3 clearance movies, $2 books, and $1 vinyls.
