I wish the staff members (every single one I've interacted with) could be cloned several times over and employed at all branch libraries. Short of that, I'm sure these guys could put on a helluva training session for the (way too many) employees who struggle with customer-service. More realistically, however, these guys should be recognized, cherished, and held as the gold standard for LAPL staff.

Rossi, the elderly woman at the front desk, is a lovely person! This library is quiet and well-stocked and has a remarkable wall of black authors. It was difficult to only bring home what I could carry. Rossi even gave me a free bookmark and helped me step by step making my library card. I feel so lucky that this is the closest library to me because it is such a dream to come here :)

  • Denise Delurgio

This beautiful old library has been closed and fenced off for some time. I hope that there are plans for restoration. The pictures and the location that now show up on Google maps is a new library in the area. It is not the original, beautiful old building on Arlington just north of Washington. I hope that it hasn't been razed since this one was built!

Polite and helpful staff. Clean facility. Quiet mostly but can get a little loud depending on the time (which happens to all libraries based on peak times and attendant demographics i.e. children). My experiences here have been good so far and I will return. Thanks.

  • Sue Kim

Great public library! Its very clean and has plenty of outlets you can use. Theres a small parking lot but I've never had trouble finding a space. The staffs super friendly and nice and theres plenty of large desks/ medium size to work at!

  • Mark M.

Nice librarians, mellow patrons, usually quiet. Lots of interesting books to be explored. If you need a break, there is a Starbucks, fast food joints, a Catholic church and gorgeous historic homes nearby.

  • Chloe Gomez

The black old lady at the front desk is really really rude! I've seen her be rude to other people too don't recommend this library for applying for you library card, just for checking out books …

  • Paul Salcedo

Ms.Nailah was extremely kind and helpful , she helped me find the books I was looking for and even pointed me in the right direction for a book that was not available. I am very grateful.

  • Elizabeth Fenner

The staff is always friendly, always a computer available, magazines and newspapers to look at, and 10 free copies (color even) per day. What's not to love? ❤️

  • Erika Perkins

The employees were super nice however the place is very messy and kids wouldn't stop running around. Couldnt get my studying done unfortunately.

  • Nicholas Paul

Significant social estrangement is occurring. There are many large, roomy rooms at this location. desks and computers aplenty for everyone.

  • Sterb Prepper

Aside from the usual daily disgusting street people sleeping here to charge their phones, its small, quaint and nice.

  • Meseret Tesfaye

This library is very quiet and a lot of helpful staff members are there. This library is astonishing!

Small selection of books. However the librarian will order them for you. Restroom is rarely clean.
