The Leland R. Weaver Library is one of the best community libraries I've visited!…read more Plenty of free parking, including ADA-accessible parking spaces, makes it easy and convenient for everyone to visit. The library has two dedicated computer areas--one for adults and one for children--so visitors of all ages have access to computers and the internet. They also have a Teen Center and offer a variety of free programs and activities for teens and younger children, making it an amazing resource for families and the community. The library provides clean men's and women's restrooms with staff-controlled access, which helps keep the facilities secure, clean, and available for library visitors. One thing I especially appreciate is that the library has armed security on site. It gives me added peace of mind knowing there's a visible security presence, especially when I'm visiting with my children. It makes the library feel safe, welcoming, and well cared for. The staff truly make this place stand out. Everyone I've interacted with has been friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. They go above and beyond to make visitors feel comfortable and supported. Whether you're looking for books, computer access, a quiet place to study, educational programs, or a safe place to bring your family, I highly recommend visiting the Leland R. Weaver Library. It's a clean, welcoming, and family-friendly library that offers something for everyone!

Came to the library today with a reservation already booked. Arrived 30 minutes early to get…read moresettled -- the room was completely empty, no one using it. Instead of using common sense, staff told me I couldn't be in the space without a reservation despite the fact that it was sitting vacant and I had one starting shortly. To top it off, the room before mine had a no-show and still nobody used any flexibility or judgment. Just rigid rule enforcement with zero consideration for the people actually trying to use the space. The library was closed for over a year for a remodel -- and this is the hospitality we come back to. Disappointing. Leadership should revisit how staff interact with patrons who are clearly there in good faith. Plus it looks the same, barely changed a thing. Take a peek for a laugh, but I wouldn't come Here. And yes, this is what your hard money went to. Millions of dollars wasted for this "improvement" and hospitality. Please...

Super grateful that there was this small cozy and clean library around!! Want to also appreciate that they were open exactly on time!! I've had experiences with public libraries where they DELAY in opening their doors despite scheduled hours.

I recently visited Los Cerritos Rancho and had such a meaningful experience. From the moment I…read morearrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, who took the time to share the rich history of the landmark, including stories about the Bixby family. Walking through the home and gardens truly felt like stepping back in time. There's something incredibly special about being able to see and feel how people lived in the past--it creates a deep sense of connection and nostalgia that's hard to put into words. For me, the visit was also a moment of reflection--appreciating the lives and efforts of those who came before us, and how their contributions shaped the world we live in today. In such a fast-paced, modern era, it felt especially powerful to immerse myself in a place that preserves history so beautifully. I even remembered visiting here as a child, and coming back as an adult gave me a whole new appreciation for it. It's more than just a historical site--it's an experience that invites you to reflect, learn, and reconnect. I highly recommend visiting. It's a beautiful reminder that Long Beach is full of incredible history and hidden gems worth exploring.

It was once a sheep ranch, cattle ranch, and even serves as an extension of our public library archives for local history. Entrance is free. Parking is free (and close to the entrance). There are volunteer-lead tours as well as printed maps to help you navigate the property. If you're planning to visit I'd set aside a half hour for everything. Bonus tip: they host events.

There's outlets everywhere, even next to chairs, which are super handy. Reminds me of my university library with how modern the lighting and furniture is, but way cleaner!! Lots of activities and clubs too over here such as Lego club or Chess club. Just gotta pay attention to the many flyers being displayed around. The hours here are pretty good and the Wifi speed is pretty handy. I don't really pay attention to how loud or quiet it is in here since I usually just keep headphones/earphones on.

There are multiple tables and work areas to use and almost every table will have an outlet attached or within reach. They do not allow any food in the library but drinks are okay- I bring in coffee or matcha without any problems. Reserved rooms are for 2 hours but the wait can be a while so sign up early! The remaining areas are pretty quiet to work in but it does get louder than library noise from 3-5pm on weekdays when the students from the nearby school come in. Bathrooms are clean and it feels pretty safe. Definitely would recommend anyone who needs a place to get their work done.
