This summer is the summer of library visits. because of the LA Public Library Stamps, I have been…read moreon a mission to collect as many library stamps as I can. This is a cute library with a small parking lot attached. Staff is friendly. There's usually a cart of free books to take at the entrance. My usual local library (North Hollywood) was recently closed for maintenance so I had a few holds sent to this library for pick up. Definitely going to come back to check out their events in the future

I have been to most of the libraries in the LA COUNTY system. I like them all, but something about…read morethe Studio City Library always does it for me. I go their pretty frequently, but not that often. It is close to home and when I need to get some work done of any kind, I need peace and quiet; since you can't do much at home. Too much distraction from neighbors and every day life. I need to address some highlights to certain things that gets my attention. First and foremost, I would like to describe the beauty of the architecture of this building. It is very well curated in a very unique way with white, beautiful flowers all around the building and parking lot. Inside is very CLEAN, bright, lit, with high ceilings. It has plenty of room to move around, lots and lots of tables/chairs, a separate room for children's section, an information desk, lots of computers with free WI-FI, shelves are very nicely organized with all types of books. Fiction, non fiction and other types of books.They have a full rack of MAGAZINES in the back, but YOU CAN ONLY USE THEM INSIDE THE LIBRARY! Can't check them out. An easy check out system by their employees, and they are pretty fast and quick. Employees are very nice, helpful and friendly. I have to mention them by their names. Not in any particular order: Brian, Devin, Dominique, Vince, Lupe, Kim, Kristine, and there was a lady by the name of Maureen that no longer works there. ALL SUPER HELPFUL whenever you need anything! I not only like to go and work there, do some paperwork, write bills, organize miscellaneous things etc...I also like to rent DVD's from this library, books, and if you request a movie or a book and they don't have it on the shelf, the process is SEAMLESS. You tell them what you need, and they will get it for you within a week and place it on their HOLD shelf, email or call you that the items are ready to be picked up. Has an ample size parking lot, clean restrooms for boys and girls, and a water fountain to fill up your bottle. What more can one ask for?? I truly love STUDIO CITY BRANCH LIBRARY in every way!! :-)) Thank you for serving the public, community for over 30 plus years!!

It has been ages since last time I was in this library. I visited recently . This library is very…read moreclean and is not as busy as other libraries. I visited during noon/ afternoon maybe that's why it was not busy. I noticed there were several computers and table available for people to use. This library has a security by the door which makes the experience better since the area is not the best. This library has a huge selection of books. I noticed they have books in stock that are hard to find in other libraries. When I visited there were couple of seniors playing chess. It was very interesting to see people playing chess in a library. For parking, this location has a private parking lot. Parking is not an issue since there is always couple of empty spots. Also, there is a shopping center close by which has a huge parking lot.

I almost completely missed this branch. I never would've expected to find a library situated in a…read morehuge shopping center parking lot. With that said, I think it's great! It lets people come by and check out some booked and resources while also running errands. As much as I love a good library tucked away a bit in a residential area, it's great to also have some prominently placed in shopping areas. I am currently trying to visit all of the library locations for their 100th anniversary and one thing I've noticed is that most of them have tiny parking lots. But, because of this location, it's got an over abundance of spots which is amazing! No need to worry about street parking or anything like that. Once inside, the staff here is wonderful. They're so friendly and helpful and when they saw why I had visited, they were so happy to point out certain 'highlights' of the branch. You could tell they love their job/library and that love translates in to wonderful experience.

This place is so quiet and big, a good place to study. They also offer free printing and parking is…read morefree. I'll go back. The lady at the desk was nice to me and helped me out for my printing. No problem

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.

This is a small but beautiful library that is slightly tucked away from a very busy street. 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.

Loudest library I've ever been to!!!! They let children treat it like a playground and not parents…read moreor staff say anything , completely ridiculous. Libraries use to be quiet areas and now they allow screaming, playing , full blown conversations in the middle of people studying and reading. The male attendant is rude and dismissive and parking lot is always completely full.

I lived in North Hollywood for 5 years and never knew this branch existed (in my defense I lived in…read morethe oposite corner of the city). But I absolutely missed out on calling this my local branch. It is an absolutely stunning branch. It's small, but the architecture and windows are just so beautiful that you can't help but just walk around and take it all in. This branch feels more like a monument than a library. Or, maybe it's just a monument to books. Staff was so incredibly friendly. When I came in saying I was on a quest to get all of the 100th anniversary branch stamps, not only did the woman help me get my stamp, but she also provided me with a pamphlet on the library and the area, other information on local events, and a ton of coloring materials for my kids. All without having to ask for it! She was just that happy to help. The branch is next to a large park so it's a wonderful area to check out a book and then walk outside to find some shade and enjoy it right away. It's just perfect. Parking lot is tiny. Be prepared to just park on the street. Luckily there's plenty of street parking so you won't have to look for long.

Very small parking lot that can make it very hard to get in and out when it gets crowded!! I came…read moreby here to be able to use the services of the Los Angeles public library district. Located nearby a public park as well. I walked in and the front desk is right next to the entrances. The staff was very observant and would assist people that needed help. There's sections blocked off for teens and kids, so for adults it's a bit harder to find spots if you want to sit. One printer machine and one scanner machine. The architecture of the place is pretty inside and I like the rustic old library feel of the inside, it feels comforting. Lots of flyers of different services and events as well!! I don't mind coming back here in the future for any tasks.

I am reviewing the VITA service at this location…read more Online reservation was user friendly. The email confirmation contains all the important information especially what to bring with me which made the tax preparation process went very smoothly. Love the location at the Sun Valley Public Library, easy parking and visible direction where to find VITA. Jill at the front desk is very friendly. Once she knows it is my first time coming to VITA, she gives detail explanation how the process is going to be and all the forms I need to fill out. She even comes by the table and make sure everything is ok. Sona P. is my tax preparer. She is very efficient and professional! Melissa is the supervisor who does the final step my tax return. She is very organized. Super happy that I found VITA! They filed my tax return in less than 30 minutes. Thank you for the excellent service. All your staffs are amazing! I will see you next year.

He is always willing to help whenever I have questions, and he takes the time to explain things clearly and thoroughly. No matter how busy he is, he is approachable, patient, and ready to assist.

Honestly, I am a post graduate from this community college and my experience went well overall. I…read moretook all my pre reqs and continued to pursue my career elsewhere but now im back to apply to a program of interest at this school. As I stepped foot back at this school, I noticed that they are renovating a few buildings. Im sure with years passing by, things have changed. The school is modernized and continues to get updated with construction all over the campus. I've had good luck overall when i had to speak to counselors in the past and they even offered video visits(unsure if they still do so) greast school to kick start off your pre reqs if you cant afford university, try here first then transfer out. Parking lots have a kiosk to pay and they have a couple of lots surrounding the campus as well as street parking and metro near by.

There were definitely some rare hidden gems here that I would've loved to have purchased but I have no more room at home! I'll def be keeping an eye out on this place and the wonderful editions they procure! The lady at the front desk was super nice and was kind enough to show us books. Very friendly! :) Parking was easily found on the street at meters~ I luckily found parking in the neighborhood for free!

Honestly maybe this just isn't the bookstore for me and that's a personal preference. However I…read morefelt like there was nothing remotely recent in here, again it could be that I'm not their demographic. They definitely had cool books but it gave more of like a reference book vibe, library-ish. All the books have plastic covering them and while I know it protects them I feel like it takes away from the books. The store itself needs some fresh air, it's super stuffy and has a musky smell. Some might like that type of shopping experience but it's not for me

Whether or not that was the intention, it made me feel as though my reading choices were being judged rather than simply helped.

I hope this feedback helps create a more welcoming experience for future customers.
