Such a cute library! I am a big fan of LAPL libraries, and the free resources they provide for…read morecommunity members. This location is very quiet, clean, and a great place to get work done. I had a good experience parking. There is more than enough for everybody and a book drop conveniently available outside. I set up my study materials on a large desk near an outlet and it went very smooth. I also asked one of the librarians for help with my library card, and they were very helpful. Overall, very nice area, great vibes, and ample parking.

It has a horrible layout and often is packed forcing you to park on the street. Normally I wouldn't mind but crossing Ventura with children is not safe or ideal. They are closed for renovations and I hope they work on the parking lot as well!

This location is my local library, been coming here for years & never had an issue. Well today was…read morevery disappointing, I was in line with my child waiting to check out a book, the library clerk at the front desk was helping a young lady, there was also a man standing at the entrance just looking at us , I thought he was the girls father. The woman helping her was calling out for someone named Charles, she did this a few times loudly, then the man at the door was walking back and forth but never to the area we were at, didn't know why at the moment. Then some white guy walks in with books, stands behind us & right away that creepy man at the door walked right up to him and asked him if he needed help, I saw the woman at the desk give him a look, she was done with the girl then I walked up with my child, the white male clerk was extremely courteous almost ass kissing to the other white man, well the male clerk was, yup Charles, he was hiding from the woman clerk so he didn't have to help us. I didn't say anything, I had my kid & didn't want him to see the ugliness of racism first hand in our neighborhood, such a horrible thing that racism is so out in the open like this, shame on you Charles, you prick!

Plenty of shaded lot parking for a Saturday afternoon though fairly strong attendance of library patrons all the same. With parking down below, the library was up on the second floor with the front of the entrance decorated with tall red, blue, and yellow flowerlike installations. The library looks and feels inviting, warmly lit by sunlight peering in through the front windows. Sprinkled around are decorative pieces showing the local wildlife, mounted on the walls. Noise level was kept to a minimal, so it also felt like a great opportunity to just relax and getting some reading done. As for me, there was a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle near the center of the library that kept me occupied.

They had a $1 book sale in front, clean and spacious inside, and it feels like a tree house getaway…read moresince the library is on the second floor

Support your local library!…read more This is a fantastic library. They have books, and lots of them in various languages. They have lots of other media, such as magazines and DVDs. Can't find what you're looking for here? Good news! They have interlibrary loans that come pretty quickly. The staff have always been pleasant and helpful. One downside is that this is a pretty small library, but since you are able to request loans from other libraries, it's not so bad. If you're on the tech side of life, get the Libby app and connect it to your library card. You can borrow e-Books and audiobooks straight to your device, as well as some magazines. It's also a great way to monitor your library account. One other downside people may consider, is the unhoused population around the library. I go here often and have never been bothered by the people there. They are usually minding their own business and hanging out side. Cute and cozy little library.

Of all the libraries in the West Valley, this is the best Branch. I have been to CSUN location,…read moreWest Valley Library, Encino/Tarzana, Woodland Hills, and the Main Library in the Valley. Canoga Park Branch Library has the friendliest most helpful staff and are welcoming to all. I feel safe here and at the other libraries - especially Encino/Tarzana and West Valley Library - people there, especially the librarians, seem to hate their jobs and should think of retiring. I think they are just counting the minutes. Canoga Park Branch library is friendly to those who are handicapped, seniors, and minorities. The Encino/Tarzana branch librarian only seems to like "her people" and her shrill voice can be heard from this prima donna. Other people, she is very arrogant and nasty. I and others have complained about her. What a relief that Canoga Park Library is wonderful and they should receive a commendation for extraordinary customer service. At Canoga Park Library employees are diverse.

Really liked the library the most. Super helpful and knowledgeable staff. Got us hooked up with…read moreaudio books on cassettes, a player, headphones, and a cool canvas bag. I originally came here to visit the store. The store staff lady was a little bit salty and reluctantly helpful (stood there and answered questions, but did not have any suggestions when asked or exhibit friendliness and eagerness to help), but facilitated my final purchases quickly. There was not a lot in the store for people who were 100% blind, which surprised me. She gave me the name of an external resource. This was my first time visiting the Braille Institute and it's pretty cool that they offer the resources they do. It's tough that there are not many places where you can walk in and talk to people other than the library. You have to make appointments. Heard good things about the classes - tai chi, jewelry, social, orientation and mobility, etc. I saw opportunities to attend live author readings that were spooky for Halloween, Looking into volunteer opportunities.
