The Peninsula Center Library in Rolling Hills is a beautiful and welcoming space that has become a…read morefavorite for our family. The children's section is particularly impressive, featuring a massive selection of reading materials and a dedicated playground area that keeps kids entertained. It is the perfect local spot for a productive afternoon or a fun family outing. The weekly programming is fantastic, especially the monthly Chinese story time. We recently attended a session led by Lily, who was wonderful with the children. She used a great mix of storytelling about caterpillars and fruit along with high-energy songs and movement. It was such a joy to watch my granddaughter get involved and follow along with all the actions. The facility is very well-designed for convenience, including the easy underground parking right beneath the building. Whether you are looking for a quiet place to read or an engaging activity for the grandkids, this library is a true gem in the Peninsula area. It's a wonderful community resource that we look forward to visiting every week.

When I stop to browse the paintings & photography, it's like a little indulgent break in the middle of the day that I didn't know I needed. I always leave just a tad bit happier :). There are 2 parking entrances, one on Silver Spur & the other on Deep Valley (rooftop w EV charging). They have book sales pretty often which I hope to check out in the future :).

Suggestions for use: Child - Grab a book and tell a story with the help of the felt board Baby/Toddler - Play with toys that encourage fine motor skills Older kids/Teens - Bring in some books (including one for yourself) and parallel read/play (let's face it, teens will probably love the sensory toys too) The children's librarian is also very helpful and approachable.

Well some of them, anyways, and that's what makes this place amazing. I mean, one of the students was looking up "Filipino blood sacrifice practices when building." That makes this a magical place, if you ask me. Not to mention, they hire amazing teachers like Kent Stoddart and Christian Lozada who both go out of their way to help students. I would know because I'm one of them.

I learned SO much in the PACE program. I consider it the best college experience I had. I then transferred to Univ of Redlands for a business degree, and PACE prepared me not only for a BS but also for the rest of my life. It was a spectacular experience. It's really too bad it's not available anymore at Harbor.

Upon first arrival, I was greeted by a friendly employee who gave me a quick run through of how the shop works. Nice assortment of rare books, comics, and illustration collections. Lots of stuff you won't find anywhere else at very fair prices. Revisiting the shop a few days later I was greeted by the same staff member who remembered me from last time. For one of the items I purchased I was offered a brand new copy in shrink wrap vs the display copy which was a nice touch I appreciated. Give this place a visit. They also have a nice website synced with their inventory you can use for faster pickup or browsing their collection from home.

With the main Long Beach library within walking distance of our home, my wife and I rarely go any…read moreof the satellite branches unless for a special event. The Long Beach library seems to be at the forefront of expanding Filipino heritage in our area, thanks to community activists. One of the latest accomplishments was the opening of the Filipino American Cultural Heritage Collection at the Bret Harte Neighborhood Library in West Long Beach. We couldn't stop by its grand opening on May 31, but was able to stop-in a few days after to check it out. It was great, making me proud that we live in a city that is able to celebrate its diversity. It had the largest display of books authored by Filipinos or about Filipino-Americans that I have seen in the area, occupying a decent size alcove room near the front. There are prominent signs announcing its location, along with free bookmarks, stickers, and badges. Between the 3 of us, we checked out quite a few books to peruse at home, which is a big change from our usual reading of content strictly on-line. Almost forgot...the library is named after a famous Californian author, poet, and newspaper man, who lived during the California gold rush. He lived during the times of strong anti-Chinese racism and Mark Twain, with whom he had a complicated and adversarial relationship. Learnt a bit more (not nice) things about Mark Twain as well. Also learned that there are elementary schools named after Harte in both Long Beach and Burbank, but also in Chicago, IL (not sure why).

I've been to multiple USPS stores and finally Alvin, here at the Wilmington location kept it real, honest and helped me far more than I could have asked for. I know my package will get there, I will get paid and it was all because Alvin looked up the tracking number and did some digging. He didn't just look at the screen on my phone and tell me what could happen, instead he did something about it to show me what has happened. I understand lines get long sometimes and it feels overwhelming, but taking those extra moments to help a person out really makes a difference. I hope that when I go in I always have Alvin, he's amazing! Thanks Alvin!!

But due to work, I have only been able to take a few classes throughout the years. But I do love the variety of classes that they offer and how constant their schedule is. If you are looking for a Japanese school for your child to attend, they offer that. If you would like to just learn more about the community through the different cultural classes, just sign up for the emails and you can be alerted for upcoming classes that they offer. I've taken amigurumi (crochet), ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), and a cooking class. All of the instructors are great and mostly volunteers. So it just shows you what a great community there is. They have festivals through the year and also help put on the West Covina Cherry Blossom Festival. They also host the West Covina obon at the center but it is organized by the Buddhist church which is based out of the community center. So there is just a lot of activities that you can get involved with.
