    This library is next to the Ralph Foy Park. There's plenty of inside parking shared with park. Street parking along Victory is also allowed although limited to 2 hours on weekdays. I love that this library is walking distance from my place. It's the smallest branch among the three public libraries in Burbank so reading materials, videos, computers are very limited. It's like a bachelor pad where you can see all areas from every corner. A restroom is also provided but since area is so small, you can hear the flushing/dripping of water and whatever activities that should be kept private. Air conditioning is awesome especially during summer. You will actually need a sweater or blanket to keep you warm. The hours are very limited, too. They are open only weekdays from 12/6 pm. In spite of all things mentioned above, I still prefer coming here. The librarians are all friendly and very accommodating with any of your inquiries. If a certain material is not available in this branch, you can request for a transfer and the friendly staff gives you a courtesy call that the item is ready for pick up. I find it also convenient to drop off any borrowed materials from any branch at this location even on non-business days or hours.

    How does one really review a library? ? First bonus of the day.. it's about 67 degrees inside and 105 outside. Nothing like AC on a hot summer day. There is a large section for kids. Summer reading program. Hundreds if not thousands of DVD rentals. There's a young adult section. Adult section is on the other side of the library. They have computers and free WiFi. It's clean and quiet. They don't have a lot of books here but they are linked up with the other two libraries in Burbank. They offer a hold program for popular requests whether books, cds our dvds. They can also hold a book from another library or have it transferred over (by request). The staff is friendly and helpful. No matter how many times I go I still fumble through the computerized "card catalog". I've found it's just easier to have them help me rather than figure out the computer although i am getting better at it. Even though I live right across the street c in general I'll go to the Buena Vista branch before here just because more likely than not what I want is there and not here. Again it's not too say this isn't a good library. It just depends on your needs. Still glad they are here and tax dollars are working. My biggest tip. .. come in and rent dvds and cds. There's a huge selection. Your dollars go back to our kids rather than some corporate greed. You'd be surprised how many great choices there are here.

    Everything in life is mutualism. So deep.

    Burbank Public Library Northwest was a pretty small place on a large lot. So making the backyard a park was like a smart idea. It was structurally like interior design-wise laid out nicely. This library can clearly be divided into thirds for children, dvd's/magazines and everything else.... Spacious walkways with computers and seating for reading & studying. This particular library location seems best suited for parents and their children. Two parking lots on each side of the library. Glad to be a nosey in the neighborhood and all. Where am I?

    Newly remodeled & seismic retrofit.  NW Library is ready for books now.

    This summer is the summer of library visits. because of the LA Public Library Stamps, I have been…read moreon a mission to collect as many library stamps as I can. This is a cute library with a small parking lot attached. Staff is friendly. There's usually a cart of free books to take at the entrance. My usual local library (North Hollywood) was recently closed for maintenance so I had a few holds sent to this library for pick up. Definitely going to come back to check out their events in the future

    I have been to most of the libraries in the LA COUNTY system. I like them all, but something about…read morethe Studio City Library always does it for me. I go their pretty frequently, but not that often. It is close to home and when I need to get some work done of any kind, I need peace and quiet; since you can't do much at home. Too much distraction from neighbors and every day life. I need to address some highlights to certain things that gets my attention. First and foremost, I would like to describe the beauty of the architecture of this building. It is very well curated in a very unique way with white, beautiful flowers all around the building and parking lot. Inside is very CLEAN, bright, lit, with high ceilings. It has plenty of room to move around, lots and lots of tables/chairs, a separate room for children's section, an information desk, lots of computers with free WI-FI, shelves are very nicely organized with all types of books. Fiction, non fiction and other types of books.They have a full rack of MAGAZINES in the back, but YOU CAN ONLY USE THEM INSIDE THE LIBRARY! Can't check them out. An easy check out system by their employees, and they are pretty fast and quick. Employees are very nice, helpful and friendly. I have to mention them by their names. Not in any particular order: Brian, Devin, Dominique, Vince, Lupe, Kim, Kristine, and there was a lady by the name of Maureen that no longer works there. ALL SUPER HELPFUL whenever you need anything! I not only like to go and work there, do some paperwork, write bills, organize miscellaneous things etc...I also like to rent DVD's from this library, books, and if you request a movie or a book and they don't have it on the shelf, the process is SEAMLESS. You tell them what you need, and they will get it for you within a week and place it on their HOLD shelf, email or call you that the items are ready to be picked up. Has an ample size parking lot, clean restrooms for boys and girls, and a water fountain to fill up your bottle. What more can one ask for?? I truly love STUDIO CITY BRANCH LIBRARY in every way!! :-)) Thank you for serving the public, community for over 30 plus years!!
