    During my visits to Crowell Public Library, I initially observed that the exterior architecture…read morecarries a historical charm and is visually appealing. However, beyond the building's design, my experiences within the library have been deeply concerning. Over multiple visits, I have encountered employees whose conduct has been inconsistent with professional standards. Staff behavior has, at times, been selective and antagonistic toward certain patrons, including both adults and children. On several occasions, this conduct has escalated into interactions that were verbally aggressive and physically intrusive in nature. Personally, I, along with my nephews, niece, and other family members, have experienced repeated instances of being singled out, harassed, and subjected to what can reasonably be described as hazing while attempting to use the library and its resources respectfully. These incidents have not been isolated, and I have documented several of them through recordings. The overall environment created by staff has, at times, felt restrictive and punitive rather than welcoming, which is not in alignment with the purpose of a public library. This pattern of behavior is unacceptable. Library staff and management are responsible for ensuring that all employees consistently uphold professional ethics, integrity, and appropriate standards of conduct--without exception or selective enforcement. I expect immediate review and corrective action to address these concerns and to ensure a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all patrons.

    This library has been my go to for 2 years. Compared to many other libraries this place is optimal…read morefor seating & space. The library has outdoor seating , indoor study area with large tables, main seating tables by the bookcases , & ledge seating by the windows. Most tables are equipped with charger outlets. The library is well managed with staff who are doing headcount & open to questions or concerns. I haven't tried their actual checkout process for books as I only come to study. Parking can be tricky at times since the library is next to an elementary school. The golden hour is coming before 2pm or after 8am to avoid the car lines of parents or difficulty with parking. I personally enjoy the artwork that is displayed in the hallway which changes every so often as it's made by the community. Overall, a nice spot to study as you have different seating options & quiet environment.

    I love coming to this library! It's small and the staff here are nice! With LA Public Libraries,…read moreyou're able to print 25 Black and White papers or 12 Colored Papers each day!!! They would have a max of $6.25 for each day to print, $0.25 for B and w $0.50 for colored! Restrooms aren't locked! TIP: Restrooms are right by the entrance! There's outlets on the side of the libraries, mostly in the kids section! They have a small parking lot, but it's free and people usually aren't here for too long!

    Review#1066~El Sereno, LAEast, CA~ I have passed by this…read morebranch library several times in 2024 but barely stopped by for a restroom break and a browsing trip. I showed up on a weekend in Jan/2025 during the first half of the month. This library provides lots of informational brochures and magazines for visitors to use. Restroom was kept super clean. I wasn't in the library to borrow a book but restroom stop and just simply being a local tourist before driving home. Library provides a small private parking lot for visitors as well, free of charge. Since this was a smaller library, there weren't that many landmark pictures to take. I was informed from my Autry Museum, LA event that if i apply for a LA County library card, i can get discounted parking most places visiting LA. I will return in the near future for this type of ordeal. I hope it's not too late. This was just a brief visit. Thanks for all the brochures though. i'll have to browse them through to learn more about the City of El Sereno, LAEast, CA.
