I originally called on the phone and a lady told me yeah no problem coming in and you can get it but I guess she was wrong when I got here. Men at the front desk told me no there's about 1500 people waiting for the pass so I was a little letdown that she gave you wrong information . But then Mihn said hold on let me look and instead of just telling me NO ... Mihn went above and beyond he thoroughly searched every library in Orange County to see if anyone else had passes for like 20 minutes he looked trying to help me. He finally figured out a solution and was able to get a pass for me and I was so thankful since I'm on the trip tomorrow to go to a few national Forest park and was trying to save a few bucks. Thanks again Mihn! You have awesome customer service anywhere so delightful and so happy that you're able to figure out a solution! Thanks again!!

This is a nice library - newer than the one they had closer to the middle of campus. I like the third floor (which is the library's 2nd floor - as the first floor is occupied by their computer center/tech lab). It's pretty quiet up here most of the time and the students keep to themselves. There are plenty of outlets on the third floor so you can plug in and recharge your laptop while you study. Plenty of seating as well - I like the ones that line the HUGE picturesque glass windows that overlook the parking lot, Goldenwest Street and beyond. You can see the mountain range far far in the backdrop on clearer days. A great plus is the strong wifi connection here and also that it was nicely ventilated/air conditioned - so it creates a nice refuge from the heat waves we've been having in the area lately. The staff/librarians here are friendly - I haven't had to use any of their services or expertise, but they're always cheerful/happy looking. Restrooms are clean for the most part - the ones on the 1st and 2nd floor tend to get messy throughout the door due to the traffic, the cleanest ones I feel, are on the 3rd floor as most students don't head up that high. Hours can be a bit better - maybe open later during the week and even have hours during the weekends if budget permits. Current hours - Mon/Tues/Wed/Thurs - 8a to 845p and Fridays 8am to 3p.

There are two levels: upstairs mostly holds adult books and then downstairs are for kids and teens. I LOVE that they have a "lucky day" section upstairs and I was able to pick up a book that's been on my list for some time. There are many tables with outlets and it was pretty clean. Overall, I would definitely come back!

Parking is a little tricky so keep an eye out for where to enter and exit only. Came here to figure out what was going on with my library card as I'm signed up for services on many apps like Kanopy, Hoopla and Mango.I forgot what my pin was and the staff here helped me out and let me know it's the last 4 digits of my phone number. They also issued me a new library card as the existing one I had was a joke! I got it in Fall of 2019 and it had a little animation of some books and the lamination was all janky. The library clerk was this older Asian woman and she upgraded my library card for me and I got to choose the one I wanted and went with one with the Civic Center in the background. The card came with a regular sized card and one for your key chain. Thanks to the Santa Ana library card, I'm able to get access to all of these free apps with books for e-loan, magazines for e-loan, films, t.v. shows similar to Netflix and a language app. (I deleted Duo Lingo and use Mango). The Santa Ana library card is the one that gets me the most access. Definitely recommend getting one. I no longer live in the city but they renewed the old one I had with my current address. I have a library card for the city of Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana and Santa Ana's card is the best! Also the staff were all very helpful and kind. I ended up calling about my pin number on the new card and the guy that answered stayed with me on the phone to see if my pin would work and it did!

I used to go here as a kid pretty often back when I liked reading books. This is a really clean and…read moreorganized place! It's cozy but still hosts a TON of activities on their calendar with the really friendly staff and volunteers. I volunteered here for the Teen Tutoring program for high school credit for a civics class, but then I started enjoying just coming around and being part of the community, helping younger kids with their homework and playing the occasional board game or learning how to cook alongside the kids using their built-in electric stove. I miss those days and if those cooking or other teen-oriented programs come back, I think our younger generation is going to be in great shape! Overall, a well-staffed, safe, and awesome place to have fun, learn, and spend time on a thin budget!

Need to get a grip on the book shop pricing. Last week the…read moregirl tried to charge me $7 for books. Then the other woman told her it's $3.50. She tried to charge double on 3 of the books. This week, April 29th, the same woman that tried to over charge me, overcharged me this week. I told her what the last lady said. Paperback is $1, hardback is $2. She said, no, the paperback was $2, and it's based on size. I told her before the person said it was all paperback $1, hardback $2 You need to get a grip and speak to the woman's boss, she was working in the morning. Why would we pay $2 when we can get paperback books at every other library shop. It's the older lady with red hair. I asked her knowing that she was wrong like the week before. What makes you determine what's $1 or $2 on paperback. She showed the smallest novel you could see and said that's $1. Training to make sure that everyone understands it is important. I just paid it. It's not the price but the principle of the matter, and probably the price too knowing she's charging double of everyone else, including your staff and other library's.

This was one of the most uncomfortable library experiences I've ever had…read more I arrived shortly after the library opened. Not long after, a woman with an unfriendly face sat behind me at a nearby table with a laptop. Initially, I assumed she was another patron, but I later realized she was a staff member who seemed to be observing me the entire time--which felt intrusive and unsettling. I'm sensitive to cold and often bring a small thermal pad with me for comfort. At one point, a male librarian approached me and told me I wasn't allowed to use it, stating that electrical outlets were only for computers and phones. It seemed clear that the woman had reported me to him. He also asked me to move my bags inward, although I had already done so. I also witnessed this same librarian ask a young man, who appeared to be homeless, to leave for resting his head on the table. While I understand there are policies, it felt unnecessarily harsh--especially since the individual was quiet and not disturbing anyone. Some power outlets in the library were visibly covered, which appeared to be a deliberate effort to prevent usage. That, along with the general atmosphere and how the staff handled interactions, made the space feel unwelcoming and tense. In my opinion, the overall environment is not conducive to working or studying comfortably, especially if you're hoping for a respectful and empathetic atmosphere.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Tibor Rubin Library! My first visit here was August…read moreof 2022 for their Wednesday Story Time program with the beloved Miss Lindsay. My toddler son and I immediately felt welcomed and nurtured. Our second visit was where I knew that I wanted to make this our home library; after one Story Time encounter Miss Lindsay had memorized who my son was & his name. She treats littles like they truly matter and are special. And her enthusiastic spirit makes each Story Time captivating and exciting! The children's section is thoughtfully designed with colorful decor, small chairs and tables, loads of toys, all types of puzzles, plenty of STEM toys and an extensive collection of books that cater to all ages and interests. They have huge collection of children's books that includes: board books, picture books, early reader books, wonder books (that read to you!) and fun audio books for kids just to name a few. They also have a AWE Learning computer that my child loves! What truly sets Tibor Rubin Library apart from others is how welcome they make you feel. They welcome all patrons and bring a sense of community and importance to all who enter. Their staff is fiercely dedicated and have always gone above and beyond for us. I have received much help and support from their staff, including help from Miss Chloe to help sign my child up for school. They offer a fantastic array of programs and activities tailored to children and families. Story Time is our family favorite and is very interactive and includes music, games, dancing and bubbles. Some Story Times also include crafts or STEM like experiments which my toddler loves. We've also come to many of their Special Events and have been been blown away countlessly by what a "library" can offer. In April Miss Jenny made sure we knew about 'Children's Day' where she had organized a fantastic day supporting children with a Youth Lion Dance Performance. It made an everlasting impression on my child and myself. It was absolutely spectacular! The library also caters to adults and teens in the community. I personally came to the Author Discussion of Arlene L. Walker presented with Miss Chloe and found it incredibly engaging and fascinating. There were so many great questions that lead to meaningful and engaging discussions - where I felt like I gained a new sense of wisdom. Tibor Rubin is a true community based library that creates a sense of belonging. They offer a safe and nurturing space for young minds and for everyone who goes. I love how quaint the library is and how everyone makes it a point to know you and your child. It's a place my child and I feel safe and welcome when visiting. Thank you, Tibor Rubin, for being a beacon of positivity and learning in our community. We are incredibly grateful for all that you do for all us!
