County of Los Angeles Public Library – Hawaiian Gardens Library

Dont expect to read a book! I came here to read my favorite book, but wasnt able too since kids were loud, and once that died down, some guy decided to play a show on netflix without ear phones. The workers didnt even tell him to turn it off or for people to lower their voices, but i guess this particular library isnt meant for reading lol Its a one room library but carries decent books

The LA County Library system is the best. They have the most copies of best-​sellers, and the largest selection of audiobooks (my current obsession).
But now to specifics, the Hawaiian Gardens Library, which is the closest location to me in OC.
The best thing about this library is its FABOULOUS, helpful, friendly STAFF!!! I’ve seen them (Woody especially) notice someone is having a problem and go up to him and ask if he needs help. PROACTIVE! I was getting a bunch of holds yesterday and the lady at the desk said «Another one just came in for you.» She noticed and cared and saved me a long bike trip.
They’re smallish but it’s part of the county system so there are millions of books available through FREE holds. And the marvelous thing about the county library is they still have old, hard-​to-​find books. They don’t just purge willy-​nilly but keep even older paperbacks. I won’t mention the title of the rare old pricey SF paperback I wanted to read cause I don’t want it to be stolen, but they had it! And I loved it!

Yet again, I’m in HG, this time not stuffing my face but checking out some great books. Although I live in Cypress, this is my go to library. I order my books through the LA County Library network and its delivered to HG Library for free! Your holds are held for 2 weeks. Although the library is pretty small, its clean and quaint and the staff is super helpful and very nice.
Now open on Fridays! Yay!

Since I live in Orange County, I have all of the books from LA County’s library system sent here when I want to check out one of their holdings. There’s nothing impressive to this small dimly-​lit branch but it surely serves its purpose.
