This was my first time visiting the Covina Library, and honestly, I'm conflicted because there are…read moreso many things done right here, yet one major issue overshadows the entire experience. As a Covina resident, I didn't even realize this library existed, since I usually go to West Covina, and more recently my favorite has been the Diamond Bar Library because of its overall standards and upkeep. From what I understand, this library is city owned rather than a county library, and unfortunately I think that's where the responsibility lies. The moment you walk in, the smell is overwhelming. Not subtle, not something you get used to after a few minutes, but truly unbearable. It honestly reminded me of walking into an abandoned home, which is shocking considering how lively and community focused the space actually is. I tried to push through it, hoping it would fade, but instead it gave me a headache, which was really disappointing. Layout wise, this library has so much potential. You walk in and there's a community area to the right, restrooms nearby that were clean but clearly very small and in need of updating, and a book section where you can purchase books, which is a nice touch. The librarians' main desk sits to the left, and the high ceilings immediately stand out in a good way. There's a children's section, computers in the center, and overall the space feels open. I was initially unsure where to go, but I was so grateful to find a designated reading room. That alone is a huge plus. Unlike West Covina, which can get quite loud, the librarians here do an excellent job maintaining a quiet and respectful environment. They whisper, they're attentive without being disruptive, and they clearly care about preserving the purpose of a library. There are plenty of outlets, and the reading room is thoughtfully placed so you're not constantly distracted by foot traffic or noise. What makes this even more frustrating is that this place could easily be a gem. The reading room has windows facing outside, so you still get natural light and that sense of being connected to the outdoors. There's even a patio area and a citrus tree right out front, which gives the space so much charm. The setup is fantastic, the staff is great, and the intention is there. It just desperately needs renovation. I truly believe more people would use this library if it felt more inviting. City of Covina, if you're reading this, please address the smell. Whether it's the carpet or something deeper, it needs attention. This library has so much going for it, and with some proper updates, it could easily become one of the best community spaces in the city. Unfortunately, this was my first and last time using the library. I hope the next time I visit is when it's a grand opening after renovations.

The inside feels a lot bigger than what it seems, which I love! A few remarks is that not all tables have an outlet accessible and the wifi itself could be a little bit stronger.

Ive gone to plenty of places with my dog and I am never asked what service she performs so I replied with I don't need to answer that I may have had too but his demeanor said it all to me that's why I felt the need to not answer. I proceeded to say "I can show you her ID and plus she isn't bothering you" at this point he was on his computer typing I don't know what but I got irritated and asked if we were going to be able to open up my library card he ignored me and continued typing and continued to ask me about my dog. he continued to say that he was going to open up my account but at that point he was just annoying to look at cause what was the whole point of asking me about my dog if you were going to open my card anyway ? So I left and called him an idiot on my way out he was most definitely having a bad day but he met the right one cause it's never that serious to be honest plus the library is so small ugly and low vibrational I'm glad this happened cause either way I don't think I would've been going just cause of the vibe in there everything can improve starting with new staff

I come here several times a week & it's sad to say but the friendliness of most of the staff is downright awful. I don't mean to stereotype but I'll just say most (90%) of the staff are dealing with major grumpiness while at work and there's a correlation to age & increased attitude. If you have a simple question expect to get an irritated look followed by a demeaning answer. Leave your problems & attitudes at the door! This place could be a cheerful, enjoyable place- the employees have the power to set the mood right.

But due to work, I have only been able to take a few classes throughout the years. But I do love the variety of classes that they offer and how constant their schedule is. If you are looking for a Japanese school for your child to attend, they offer that. If you would like to just learn more about the community through the different cultural classes, just sign up for the emails and you can be alerted for upcoming classes that they offer. I've taken amigurumi (crochet), ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), and a cooking class. All of the instructors are great and mostly volunteers. So it just shows you what a great community there is. They have festivals through the year and also help put on the West Covina Cherry Blossom Festival. They also host the West Covina obon at the center but it is organized by the Buddhist church which is based out of the community center. So there is just a lot of activities that you can get involved with.

It's a private Division II Christian University that has two campuses a few blocks from each other. Their motto is God First and the university is beaming of His Light. They offer a free and frequent shuttle to go to/from East - West campus. The library, sports center and science building are on the west campus and are amazing. These buildings are newer and well designed. The main book store is also here near the sport center to buy your APU swag. Starbucks is on campus with many other food places. If you are still hungry, there are hundreds of food places next to campus, such as Chick-Filet, Canes, chipotle, Panda Express, Applebee's, Del Taco, Ramen, Mexican, Thai, Boba tea and much much more. The dorms are more spacious than other universities. Engstrom Hall has dual dorms that house 4 students with one adjoining, shared bathroom among the two dorm rooms. This is much better than the huge communal style bathroom for dozens. Overall, this private Christian university is about making good, smart and humble servants who can make a positive difference in the world while putting God first always. Go Cougars!

Now, as an adult learner, I'm back and completing my associate in business administration. I've always felt cozy and welcome at the campus. Parking is great, busses come all the time, there are plenty of food places to eat within walking distance. The classes are affordable if you complete your FAFSA, apply for scholarships and OFA (other Financial Aid Options) are available. Making an online appointment is easy with their student platform, and my counselor was readily available via zoom (to accommodate my work schedule) and we were able to complete my lesson plan. I think that there are plenty of support systems in place for students that want to take the time and wait for support. It's not fast-food it's school and sometimes things take a little more time to get the best results. I am totally happy with my education I'm receiving, and I only hope that students here are finding the same enjoyment I'm finding.
