    I can't begin to tell you how much I LOVE libraries....each and every one has it's own flavor and vibe....and I always enjoy myself when I spend time there. I went to this location yesterday...it's been here forever...and I don't ever go to this one...but I was gonna look at what type of magazines they had at this spot since I was sic of what my Mid Valley Branch had at the moment I was pleasantly surprised at what I found. They had a magazine called "Allyou" which I have never heard of....which I liked...as well as a Lil magazine called "Food Everyday" a Martha Stewart Magazine. The first shelf is magazines in English....and the next one is Spanish I believe. One thing that is not a good idea at all I noticed....is to have the NEW RELEASES in the check out line.....how can you stand and look in peace....when your in a LINE area...DUHHHH!!!! There are computers all around the library for people to use.....and a Lil room in the back with about 6 or so. This location is VERY VERY small....and the Parking is FEROCIOUS The whole area where the library is located I try to AVOID by any means necessary But new magazines were callin me ...callin me

    The library re-opened today after being closed all summer. The Library was painted, the inside has all new carpet, tile floors, bookshelves, tables and chairs. They've got new books and DVD's and the bathrooms were also painted and the small shop that sells books next to the library entrance it once again open too. I've found lots of books there for prices ranging from 5 cents to - $5 so go check that place out too. The environment was alright today after the opening ceremony it was nice and peaceful to get some work done for class.

    I go here every after school hours. It's not so big but they have everything you'll think you'll need. They have film showings and I also attend Yoga Classes here which they have regular on Monday nights for free.

Parking is spacious but I did sadly see the charging stations that they used to have here have been permanently disconnected but the machine part is still there. Maybe some day they will bring them back as they were convenient though slow. Inside staff was very friendly and assisted me with finishing the set up for my new card. It only took 5 minutes and now I have my card! I can't wait to start using Libby. I then walked around browsing the aisles and I found a wide selection of different languages which I thought was awesome. There's also plenty of study tables and many public computers. On leaving I looked around the park. I was really pleased because the grass looks nice and green and no foxtails! I saw someone playing with their dog in the field and this made me realize this is a great place to bring my dog to do some training and it's close to me. Very happy and looking forward to my next visit

Tucked away in a plaza in San Fernando among some local eateries it was a short walk from parking. Parking is challenging just keep that in mind. Not many ADA parking spots either. The library is much bigger than it appears from outside. There is so much to see. I liked the decor and how it is very reminiscent of the San Fernando region. The wrought iron chandeliers were a dramatic centerpiece in this library. As I was standing in line I was impressed on the amount of Manga available as well as preloaded Kindles that library members can check out. Lots of tables and seating. Cute carpeted sitting areas for younger readers. Very nice staff who did their best they could during this event. If you didn't get a HK card in 9/28/26 they will have more next month.

I wanted to take advantage of the State Park Pass offered FREE at our…read moreLos Angeles libraries, but figured there's NO WAY I could snag one the week before Labor Day. Whelp, there's no harm in trying. This Northridge branch was located smack in the middle of my SFV errands, so I swung by to try my luck I like this branch. It reminds me of the branch I had growing up, with a modest parking lot FILLED with beautiful shade trees. Some of the exterior on the local branches looks a bit industrial, but this branch has a mountain cabin feel. I parked and walked in. As soon as you enter, you can see the restrooms and a drinking fountain conveniently located at the front. Hubs headed there while I beelined a few steps further to the checkout desk, library card conveniently affixed to my keyring, tightly clenched in my sweaty palm. 'I know this is a crazy Hail Mary ask, but are there any State Park passes still available?' I asked as unstressed as possible. A quick glance behind, 'Hmmm...I don't think...wait! Okay, hold on, let's get your card scanned (beep!), then I can check(scan beep again) and seeeee....Yes! This last one is available!' WooHOO!!! How lucky I am! My adventure Angel was looking out for ME today! The librarians laughed at my reaction, which may have been a bit too loud for the environment, but they didn't dampen my joy. Thanks for being such a great resource for adventure and fun, be it within the pages of Robert Louis Stevenson or the dirt roads of Bodie. Cheers! "CC"

    Recently, we had our Sweet Granddaughter for a day together. We started out by checking out a…read morecommunity festival at Pierce College. Then as the weather was drifting into May Gray coolness, we wanted to go to the Chatsworth Library for some indoor quiet time. That branch was closed at the time, having renovations on their HVAC systems. It wasn't that far to get to Northridge, so we checked out that location. We found a convenient parking place, then a clean restroom inside. Then it was time to visit the children's section in the back corner. What a delightful time for 6 year-old SG. She was in reading heaven. She browsed the racks, picked out several books at a time, then found various places to snuggle up with her finds. Dear Hubby happily found the magazines and started reading on his own. There are tables and chairs, and also computer desks near the kids' area, so we could be close, but give SG her space. I was checking work email for a while, and then Yelp reviews. The layout and design features of the children's section are very charming and create a cozy atmosphere. SG was excited to learn that she could have her parents get her a library card so that she'd be able to check out a certain number of books and take them home for a time. A library fan is born! I told her about when I was a kid on the first day of summer vacation I would ride my bike across town to the library and come home with a basket of books to read. That was my ritual throughout the start of the summertime. Read, read, read. Go for a swim, get something to eat, then read some more. Simpler times!

You…read moredon't feel like you're right off of Ventura Blvd and that street's constant hustle & bustle. It feels like a little oasis from that. Once you're able to find parking (this branch's parking lot is practically non existent), the location is nice. It's somewhat plain inside, but that doesn't really bother me. I come to a library to look for & check out books so not having a ton of things on the walls or other decorations helps keep me focused. I've noticed this on almost all of my library stops, but I will say it again here: the staff is wonderful. The librarians were so wonderful and so helpful. I came here to get the branch stamp they have for the 100th anniversary of the LAPL and they lit up when they saw me ask for a stamp. They asked me how it was going & if I needed help getting to any other branches. Even when I'm not asking for books they still bend over backwards to help me. I absolutely love it.

I wish the people at the front desk kept up with library etiquette instead of practically shouting during their conversations with each other or those visiting. They also kept coming in and out of the back and slamming the heavy door. This place is small enough so everything echoes throughout. The rules of a library are pretty simple to follow, but I won't be coming back here.

The library has a fantastic inventory and a great kid area that offers resources for them from books to crafts. My son love playing with some of the toys there and then sitting on the cushions listening to a book. It was a nice peaceful break to the business of the day. The building is just inviting and full of bright natural light. Perfect for working or reading. But even with all the windows, it isn't hot inside which is great given that this branch is located in an area of the city that can get quite hot, especially during the summer (when we were visiting). So come, cool down while enjoying a book. Staff is friendly and helpful. They took the time to chat with our kids about our adventure to visit all the LAPL locations. They asked them about what branches they've enjoyed and where we were headed to next. They were just a joy to interact with. We really enjoyed our trip to this branch. If this is your local branch, you've got a great resource at your fingertips.
