LA libreria – Books for kids in Spanish

I have a young nephew and niece that speak Spanish as a first language and LA Libreria helped me get the perfect Christmas gift.
I walked in and the owner welcomed me, first in Spanish, and after my baffled look — in English.
She asked what I was looking for and picked out over a dozen suitable books explaining what the books were about. They were all excellent and the hardest part was just choosing two.
All the books she picked out had great illustrations and artwork, which helped me follow the plot.
This place was a great find and highly recommend it. If you don’t speak Spanish know they the owner was made me feel very welcome and comfortable. She was very attentive.
I’ll definitely go again.

La Libreria is a one of a kind bookstore. It carries witty, informative, fun and delightful books in beautiful prose and verse for the young Spanish language reader. The illustrations of their books are colorful, enriching, eye opening. Their texts are rich in the beautiful language of well written Spanish.
I could not recommend this bookstore highly enough. The owners’ passion is definitely the Spanish language and I am thrilled to at last find a bookstore in los Angeles that does justice to the heritage and language spoken throughout latinAmerica and Spain. If you want to be in awe with reading, this is the place to be in!
The curators are well versed and knowledgeable of the books they sell. You will not be dissappointed!

Good selection of children’s books in Spanish from all over the place and for many ages. When we went they were finishing an event. While the selection is nice, children are allowed to run around and pull books and play (which is totally fine). The problem with this is that it took a while to find books that were not scratched or lightly damaged (I was shopping for gifts). Sometimes there were only 2 – 3 copies left of a book I wanted but they all looked used due to the scuffing and scratches so that was a bit disappointing.

FINALLY! A fantastic Spanish bookstore run by a fantastic lady. Perfect place to pick up books for your Spanish Dual Language Immersion Program kids!
AND…she’s willing to do bookfairs and bring her books to us!

My husband and I stopped by here because we are expecting our first baby and are planning on raising her bilingual. Chiara was very friend and extremely helpful. She recommended some great books and had some excellent pointers on how to introduce our child to books, language and literacy. Even though I am a Spanish teacher, I work with teenagers, and the advice she gave us for the baby made a lot of sense. I was expecting the prices to be high because of the boutique feel of the shop, but they were the same range as at Barnes and Noble, but with an excellent selection. We had bought a few books at Barnes and Noble earlier, but ended up being disappointed in them because they were basically just bad translations of English books. La Libreria has a wide selection of authentic children’s books in Spanish. It is a place I see myself revisiting often as my child grows.

I stumbled upon this treasure of a book store while listening to KPCC on my morning commute (
).
I stopped by on a Saturday morning hoping to find a gift for my 4-​year old cousin, my 5-​year old nephew, and to stock up on my own library for my little one coming next month. I fell in love with the selection! There are so many great books to choose from and I loved just browsing through the shelves. One of the store’s owners, Chiara, helped me out and brought over many books for me to consider. I ended up taking home 5 books in all (although at one point I had about 10 books that i really wanted to take home). There are books from all over Latin America and for all ages. Honestly, reading these children’s stories is going to help me out with my SoCal spanglish :)
They’re open Saturday & Sunday from 10 – 4 and during the week by appointment only, but you can also buy their books online. Personally I’d rather buy them from the store directly because that way you get to actually read the story and look at the amazing illustrations, but it’s nice that they have that option for those who don’t live close by. It’s a very family friendly store, with a couple of little tables and chairs set up with paper and crayons plus (duh) books for kids to read.
All in all, I’m so excited to have found this book store and would give it 10 stars if I could! Service was great, location is clean, and selection is fantastic.

Amazing place. The book selection is a dream for bilingual children. Definitely coming back for more. The owner is so knowledgeable and helpful we could have spent hours talking about books. This is a must for all spanish speaking families.

Nice people doing nice work for kids who want to read a little more in Spanish.
Great little spot, clean and well organized.
Got some excellent books for all 3 of my kids cuz I want them to grow up and like reading. Not be a dumbass like their dad and write pointless reviews on Unilocal.
Go here!
