County of Los Angeles Public Library – Sorensen Library

Never had an issue throughout my 9 years of coming to this library. There is sometimes problems with finding parking but, you can always find street parking or use the park parking (unless shown otherwise). Every visit my love and I go to use the computers, you get free 10 b&w copies and if we ever had technical issues they are always nice enough to help you.

Considering its location, this library was pretty fantastic for my purposes.
From the looks of it, it appeared relatively limited as far as actual BOOKS go… but they had nice desks with plugs and cute lil lamps. Pretty sure they called it Technology corner or something… my only issue with this was that it was a really noisy library.
There was a dude laying in a chair totally snoring. IN THE LIBRARY. It was funny at first, but if I had been actually studying or something… it’d have definitely been an issue. Then, in the technology section, there was a guy doing reading lessons… like teaching older kids how to read. Reading aloud… maybe there should be some kind of special room for that at the library but I’m definitely from the generation of kids who got hardcore STARES and stern looks from librarians if I made even the slightest amount of noise.
It may just be that I’m unaware of what this library’s concept is… but it definitely seemed that I was the only one in there with an expectation of quiet.
Overall, a clean, rather modern location. Bring good headphones and you’re solid!

I am so glad they built this library. It’s clean, it’s nice and well stocked. Literally 3 blocks from my house. It’s beautiful and much better to see than the old one when I go for my walks.

Clean library with friendly staff and awesome environment d

very good library that is setting the pedigree for other libraries in Los Angeles County to reconstruct by.
with most libraries stuck in the early 90’s and «the people» of the city having little to do except take it (and {if you want} complain at a town hall meeting)
you can get eBooks
music
(Normal) Books
DVDs…
and …the rest.
there is a website that you can log into and it will tell you everything or if anything you have out or on hold.
(this is all obvious and very old technology, but new and convenient to most libraries.)
For the time being i would actually suggest coming out of your way to come here. the reason being is that other libraries will soon follow suit (after the city is done shuffling it’s paper’s around) but it will take a while, so for the time being, check out this one if you are in the area.

Great library especially for the young kids. Every time I’ve gone I’ve seen little kids running around reading, laughing, and basically just learning. My girlfriend and I both love this place for the main reason that they always have what we come looking for. From obscure books to TV show DVDs they pretty much have everything. The staff is amazing, always helpful, and able to answer most questions I’ve had. If you’re in Pico or even in Whittier and you can’t find what you need at the Whittier Library then you should head over to this one because it’ll most likely have it.
