Yorba Linda Public Library is a really solid community resource and a pleasant place to spend time…read more The building itself feels modern and spacious, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light, making it comfortable whether you're there to read, study, or just browse the shelves. Many people praise the kids' area and family-friendly programming, and there's also a great used-book nook run by Friends of Yorba Linda Public Library Book Corner that's perfect for finding cheap finds and supporting local programs. There are also useful services like passport processing, study rooms, public computers, and events for all ages, which go beyond what some smaller libraries offer and make it a hub for different members of the community. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that, like many popular libraries, it can get crowded during peak hours, and I've heard a few rare comments from other visitors saying staff interactions upstairs haven't always been great though most experiences I've seen are positive overall. Overall, it's a comfortable, well-stocked library with good amenities and a welcoming community atmosphere definitely worth a visit if you want a quiet place to read, study, take the kids, or just hang out.

Wanted to start of 2026 with more reading. Visited the Yorba Linda Library and what a treat to…read morestart the first weekend of the year. The YBL Library is seriously one of the most user-friendly libraries around. I found out that they have hold feature alone is a game changer--super easy to place holds online and pick them up when they're ready. This service does saves some time but ruins the experience of browsing in the library. This library have two floors. The 2nd floor have a Help Desk, which an extremely nice librarian, that's so nice and easy to talk to. There's lots of computer available for use which is great for studying or working. There are tons of tables, so you're not fighting for a seat, and the conference rooms you can book are perfect for group projects. They also have a printing station, which is incredibly helpful when you need to print something last minute. Overall, it's clean, well-organized, and clearly designed with students and the community in mind. Highly recommend!

However, it would be nice if once in a while stuff could be cleaned because there was a lot of things that were dirty especially outside. The play house was filled with dirt and dust.

I would recommend to come early since parking fills up due to paid parking in Old Town Orange down the street. We love all songs that all the kids end up loving to memorize and dancing to! After some songs and stories there is free play for around 30 more minutes. Other than story time, the Children's part of the library is a fun place for kids to play puzzles, crawl under an orange, and find some books to take home.

I have friends I'd visit with here and help them study, So many books and diffferent resources to use here. I love it here, and I miss all the days of hanging out with my friends.

Great library but the librarians don't follow the rules. They allow this man to come and use the…read morestudy rooms like his own personal office every day. He is very loud as he holds Zoom business calls at high decibels. When I asked why they allow it because it was incredibly loud and disruptive, the Librarian (middle aged tall white dude with a condescending, sardonic attitude) said it was fine and that he allows him to use the City of Orange Library study space as his office on a daily basis. He said its not against the rules (see the attached picture of the actual rules enacted by the Board of Trustees) and that he has worked at the library for 17 years and can change the rules if he wants to. Hate to see government employees acting entitled to using government property as they wish. Here is a shot of the man setup in his office hosting meetings in the public library.

This is not as quiet as I expected it to be. There were a couple of people talking aloud on their…read morephones and not a single staff member said anything. Theres a back room with an office that had people talking and laughing very loudly. It's very unfortunate that they have a little bit of study rooms available. The seating area with tables is also in the middle of the library and close together so people tend to bump you as they walk through. Idk, but as for my first visit, I'm not coming back.

Shout out to the Fullerton library for suggesting to come here! Long story short, I lost my passport and needed expedite renewal as I have another international travel for 2/26. The staff was very helpful and they signed me in with a buzzer to know when my turn was up as they only have 1 agent. The facility has parking in the back and it looks very clean. The tables in the middle have power plugs on the top for you to use. They have meeting rooms and quiet rooms. Overall I had a good experience.

As a mother of three young children I spend a lot of time in parks and libraries. Thought it might…read morebe a good idea to let the kids explore the library before running errands in the area. I really love the layout of this library. The children's area is a little off to the side so I am not self conscious of my little ones annoying other visitors. The kids love seeing Yoshi the bearded dragon. They also love playing with the toys and reading in the cozy seating areas. The staff is also very nice and helpful! Book selection was nice too! My children could easily find a ton of books they were interested in. The faux trees and other decor is pleasant. While some parts are in need of a little tlc, it's a pretty cozy space overall and feels really nice and welcoming. Definitely plan on visiting this library again soon!

Haven't been here in a little while, love this Library. I used to take baby girl here when she was…read morea baby for story time and play time was so much fun. Came here with my best friend her son and baby girl after school to check out some new books to read together. I used to just buy books but got overwhelmed with so many that it's easier just to rent a book plus gives us a reason to read new ones together. All the employees are really friendly. My friend had to get a library card I already had one so checked out 3 books. Usually park underground the lot is always full but found handicap thank goodness near the elevators. Nice courtyard they do tree lighting near here too during Christmas time. It's a cute little area for the library. Return book time is 3 weeks which is nice. Thank you for your help in finding books and for your friendly smiles. Baby girl and I also found a puzzle on the table we were trying to do for a bit too. Love this library. Have a beautiful day, thank you for the beautiful books and friendliness. :) Aloha

There were others being loud in the library yet they chose to come tell my child who has a disability to stop making noise on his computer.

The kids section of books has a great selection and they have a few computers set up with interactive games and activities. They also do weekly classes and programs which are fun to attend. They also have lots of fliers to community events as well. Staff is friendly and helpful!! The hours are not to good but manageable. Outside they have a grass area with a few benches under some trees. You can bring a blanket and enjoy your book in nice weather. It's a good little spot to have close by.
