Excellent service provided by Kelly

The customer service was extra helpful and went the extra mile to put a smile on my daughters face and get her into reading books

Half empty shelves...they're like this throughout the kids section

I needed help looking for a book and the young lady at the reference desk was very helpful.

A hidden gem in the valley! Loved coming to this little library. The staff was very helpful & we…read morewere able to find a good selection of books we were looking for. The space was clean and plenty of parking in the lot. For more popular books, we were able to put the books on hold via the app (which is a bit clunky but to no fault of this branch) for pickup here once available.

This is a smaller library than others I've been to in the area. But they have a good selection and…read morea staff that is knowledgeable and friendly. They're especially great to my 3 young kids. You can tell they're always excited to see young people in eager to read. The location is also very unassuming from the outside. Honestly, I had driven by it dozens of times before even realizing it was there. Out of the corner of my eye, it looked like it was just part of the fire station that's next door. Because of this, if you're not paying attention, you can easily drive by without realizing it. The parking lot is also very small and with tight spots so be prepared to have to park along the street (which is a hill) and walk in. That, or just go during 'off hours' during the weekday if you can to ensure there won't be a ton of people in there. One of the highlights to this location is a large meeting room. They have tons of community events for just about everything under the sun. Be sure to check out upcoming events to see if there is something that strikes your fancy. However, just don't set lofty expectations. I took my kids here for an event (I don't want to call out what it was because the librarian who put it on did seem to have great intentions) that was a total dud. I think it just wasn't planned through enough and or she was just overwhelmed by the rambunctious, loud group of young elementary school kids who showed up. I don't want to say don't take your kids to children events here. Our experience very well could have been a one off. Just set you expectations accordingly. These are events planned and put on by the librarians. They're not experts in any particular field and they are bound by the resources at hand. So, in all, if this is your local library, it's a nice one with a good amount of things to offer. However, if this one is a bit out of your way, I would maybe say just stick to your local branch. Remember, if they have a book here that you want, you can always have it sent to your local brand for free. That's the joy of LA's massive public library system.
