Stanton Library

Not a fan of this library… just way too loud! I came here to study but could not get any studying done due to the high noise level. Kids running around screaming, people talking loudly on their phones, and laughters echoing through the library are just the norm. Not sure if it’s inconsiderate people, careless librarians, or the structure of the building that causes the resulting loudness… but nonetheless not a great place to study.
The only perks I can find are the numerous tables/​sitting areas. They usually always have a place to sit. If you don’t mind the noise level or are studying with a group, then it might be the ideal place for you. Otherwise, go elsewhere!

Amazing staff always so helpful if you can’t find what you are looking for they make a way to help. Love coming here.

This library is located on Katella Blvd, close to Beach Blvd in the City of Stanton.
It is located across City Hall, and when i have to do paperwork the old fashion way-​this is my go too place. The staff is nice, and more then willing to help you retrieve records on microfiche.
The Internet is a wee slow, but at least they have air conditioning. I prefer to go to a larger library, but this one usually covers me for what I need.

This is a review of the Pajama StoryTime on Tuesday evenings.
The age range is 1 – 10 for the StoryTime, but my 1.5 year old was probably too little. She sat still for about 2 minutes. She wanted to run around in the room that is set aside for the StoryTime. The first story was longer and more advanced, but the activity that followed was a great activity for the age group. Too bad they don’t offer a toddler pajama StoryTime!
The lady leading the reading was very patient (even when Ladybug and another kid near her wanted to rub the reader’s fleece pj pants!) and had excellent story reading skills that were chocked full of voices and sounds. We ended up leaving about 20 minutes into the StoryTime as Ladybug was trying to escape the room and it was nearing bedtime. We will definitely go again, in hopes that as it becomes less of a «new» and «unknown» thing for Ladybug, she will sit and enjoy the stories too instead of picking at the other little girls’ shoes and shirts with decorative flowers.
The one major complaint is the lack of parking. The parking lot was completely full at 7PM. The room was fairly full, so maybe we were on the later side for the start time?

It’s a rather small library, and because of that, they sometimes have to borrow from other libraries. So imagine my surprise when they told me that there would be a 25 cent fee to pay for the borrowing… Huh??? Then, add the fact that they also charge a $ 1.50 to borrow a «New» book… Whaaaat???
I hope all libraries aren’t going to start charging fees like this! I know times have changed, (Thank you Obama…) and it may not seem like much money, but in this day and age of high unemployment, EVERY penny counts! To me, these are totally unnecessary charges! I’ve never gone to a library that charges fees for anything other than being late, or not picking up a book on hold. (And I’ve been to many, many libraries!) Needless to say, I will be going to another library that does not charge these kind of fees!

This is a small library. Luckily, though it isn’t lacking, enough magazines and books. The Library is across the street from City Hall, so you can go across the street and sit and eat lunch. Librarians are very friendly, and willing to help. Wi-​Fi in here could be better, but its liveable.

Small but sufficient! They do weekly children’sbook reading and have plent of community events!
Check out their community board in the library. They also have computers for everyone to share! It’s awesomeeee!
Make sure to get a library card too! It’s a very easy process, and it’ll definitely be worth it once you get to borrow all those books and save up on the $$$!
TIP: Manage your library card via the Internet, so you won’t have to drop by here to get your stuff renewed or to see if the library has a certain book you’re looking for!

I’ve been to this library several times. It’s right on one of the main streets, but can easily be missed due to the nondescript sign. I was in search of a book that recently came out so when I searched the website, it showed that this library was the only one that still had it on the shelf; all the other libraries were either holding the book for someone or it was already checked out. Thinking I lucked out, I headed over and found out that this particular book was a «new rental,» meaning because it had just come out they were charging $ 1.50 per week for it! Ummmm, no wonder no one checked it out from this library. What if you don’t finish reading the book within the week? You just keeping paying a daily rate after that. How ridiculous! I might as well buy the book then.
Aside from that, this library has plenty of computers with free Internet access. The staff seems friendly enough and they have a nice Children’s section. It does look a bit run down inside though and parking is limited.
