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

My biggest knock on this branch is just parking. I had to go around the block to find the parking &…read moreonce I got in there, it was super small. If you are driving to this location, be prepared to have to park on the street & those are all going to be metered spots. I don't like having to pay to park for the library, but it might be an inevitability at this location. Staff here, like all LAPL locations are extremely friendly and it's clear they love their job. I came here in a quest to get all of the 100th anniversary location stamps and the woman who helped me out was so excited and kept asking me what other locations I had been too & what I've thought of the other branches I had visited. It was just a really pleasant experience once I entered in to the branch. I really liked the large windows that brought in a ton of natural light. While I was there a pair of LAPL officers came in to patrol the library. Nothing was going down, but if they have to do that, I have to wonder if this location has situations with a lot of the unhoused that live in the area. Just maybe keep that in mind if that is going to be an issue with you.

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.

And then when they get something, the park horribly making it tough for other people to get in to their car or even park next to them. It's one of the worst parking lots I've experienced on my quest to visit all LAPL branches. Once inside, it's a pleasant experience. Like most branches, there's a great variety, plenty of spaces to work or read, and a staff that is truly willing to help you in any way. I just don't see myself visiting this branch based of parking. Maybe if I could walk here it would be different. But I wouldn't go outta my way to go to this branch over more local ones to me.

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!

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.

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.

There is a large unhoused community in the area and many of them seem to seek shelter from the weather in and around the branch. I honestly think that they have every right too, but it also leads to a police presence which isn't really fun and it can lead to certain areas of the library to have a bit of an unpleasant odor. Beyond being a place to quickly drop off a book or pick up one you've put a hold on, I just don't see this as a library I would want to spend extended time in.
