Quiet, small library tucked into a part of the echo park neighborhood that doesn’t get a lot of hype.
free parking lot that always has spaces.
computers are clean and functional. they still use internet explorer which is beyond me. Printing is a quarter per page.
I’m pretty sure anyone actually reading a review for a library probably already knows this, but you can reserve any item in the entire LAPL system and have it held at your local branch. do that. it’s awesome.
they lose a star because of their wacky hours. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve shown up only to realize on that day they didn’t open til noon.

Really small library that’s great to visit during the week. On Saturdays, there is a rather noisy children’s program that starts at about 2 so just make sure to head there early if you need to get work done. The staff is friendly and the noise level for the most part is kept to a minimum. I wish the library was a tad bigger; study spots run out quickly if you don’t get there too early.

A very nice small library that I never even knew was even there. It is hidden amongst trees and bushes.

Worst wireless in LAPL history!
Small library as well. Gets packed easily. Men’s Bathroom was «out of service» too! Done, son! Going to Edendale!

This is the only branch in the LAPL system that has a Filipino Heritage Collection. The Friends of the Library group recently raised funds and gathered book donations to start the collection. The collection so far is quite extensive– Filipino American authors, Filipino authors, and everything in between. Books in this collection can be requested through both the LAPL and LA County Libraries systems.
This branch has awesome staff that are very friendly and willing to work with local community groups, including being open to community groups hosting events in the community room and in allowing groups to post educational displays in the front entrance.

2 day DVD rental, decent sized (free!) parking lot, and enough computers (1 hour sessions). and clean! Not bad for one of the 72 Los Angeles libraries :)

i haven’t been here in a few months, but the times i have been here, i got a warm fuzzy feeling that made me feel like perhaps if more places like this existed, that maybe,.juuuust maybe… the future of public libraries wouldn’t be as debatable as it’s been the last few years. this branch is very clean and the staff is remarkably charming. it’s not a very big branch, but it serves its purpose for being a neighborhood branch.

I am probably the biggest white, Jewboy fan of libraries in all of greater LA.
LAPL libraries are one of the city’s great, democratic resources, out of which there are not too many.
All the little homies and chicas and their parents and everyone else make this public, civic resource the bomb. There’s something inspiring about seeing and supporting a dynamic public space that the library is. After school lets out and families converge, one sees a quiet library become a bustling commons.
Plus, there’s snack trucks outside.
