Wonderful Librarians and a well stocked selection of books, movies and music as well as computers, children's reading area and study rooms are available to library visitors. Plentiful free parking too and a Ballot Box for elections is adjacent to the main entrance.

Spacious library collection of LAPL. It’s one of the nicest and cleanest I’ve been too. Tree outsides were very nice. I think it’s a bit cold inside on a cold day. Restroom was also pretty cold. Wifi didn’t work on my laptop. The parking lot is huge and free.

The librarian and the staff are always ready to help you find anything you are looking for. Nice selection of novels in Spanish, beautiful kids area, study room and many activities. This library is never crowded and the time I spend there always a seems to me the best one in the day. Thank you all you for having this wonderful resource available to all of us, specially the kids.
If you are a teacher, they have a special card for you and if you are a student be sure to ask for their student success card!

Friendly staff.
Smaller selection than one of the bigger branches, but still has a lot of new popular books.
We love the special events. 3rd Saturday of the month is dog adoption, where we found our new addition to our family.

I don’t know how they have 4+ rating. The staff members are louder than individuals. They are not attentive to ensuring people can focus on reading and comprehending and overall learning. This is the nearest library to me and I would like to be able to come consistently to undertake my endeavors.

This is a fresh new library, modern aesthetics and clean; it's also located in proximity to a high school. Looks like on their Calendar they offer a variety of event's during the week as well including a movie night. Very well lit and plenty of computer workstations available; as I've not been in a library for quite some time, this looks like a good place for people to get homework and checkout books. And I was able to drop off my early Vote PROGRESSIVE - to remove dumpf

Great little library. It’s clean and has computers to use and place to read. However sometimes the hours are not consistent. We will come on Saturday morning and there will be a sign at the front door that it won’t open until later afternoon. It has happened more then a handful of time within a year time span.

Got attacked by a homeless with long black hair. Noone helped me. Very sad. Never coming here again. Reporting this place to the local police.
