Lake View Terrace Library

I love the library. The library is right next to the park so right after you check out your book you can go and read it under a tree or something. The staff here is friendly and attentive. You will run into a lot of young people here. They have a large selection of books for kids. They also have books on tape. The unfortunate thing about the books on tape is that they do have a section for audio books. But I think that they are only fiction and then the rest meaning nonfiction as in autobiography, how to, and such you have to find mixed in with the other books. Its okay no biggie. They have a drop off box in front of the library for after hours. You will run into the occasional homeless guy from time to time while you’re there. They do have accessible parking. I’ve never had a hard time finding parking here. It is clean inside.

I really have no complaints about this Library. The librarians that I’ve interacted with have been really friendly and always polite. I do wish it was larger and had more for the kids to do, but in all it’s a nice local Library that my family enjoys.

I would drive by this building a thousand times a day on my way to work and didn’t even notice it. Its a smaller library but everything is organized, clean, and new. It was quiet when I visited and I was able to sit at a table and read. Magazine selection was good and fiction selection, just okay.
Next time I’m here, I will make an attempt to check something out.

Nice library it’s quieter than the others in the area plus librarians are nice and friendly I recommend this place for studying might want to bring earplugs in case it gets too noisy and make sure your phone and laptop are fully charged because most of the outlets are blown.

I had driven by this library so many times but never checked it out… until today. I walked in and applied for a library card. The lady at the main entrance was very friendly and helpful.
The library in general seemed pretty organized. It was quiet and everyone seemed to be doing their thing.
I had trouble finding a book and asked for help at the info desk. The guy seemed annoyed that I had interrupted his reading with my request for help. (Excuse me for asking you to work while on your job!)
Right away he asked if I was sure I knew this particular book was at this library and I told him I had checked online. He didn’t seem to believe me and checked for himself just to see I was right. He reluctantly got up and helped me look for the book. Once he found it he quickly handed it to me, briskly walked away and plopped himself at his seat again. He was rude. Talk about no customer service! sheesh!
I was disappointed to see the grafitti in the restroom given this library is pretty new. Overall the place is ok. Just your basic library, nothing out of the ordinary.

Lake View Terrace has a nice environmentally-​friendly library (LEED certified platinum! a.k.a. the highest certification you can get from the US government) built (as mentioned in Tricia M’s review) on the spot that had the bar from Terminator 2 and at the intersection where Rodney King was beaten by the LAPD which later lead to the LA Riots in ’92. The library is pleasant and my only complaint would be that I wish you were allowed to read in the courtyard area. Also the electric vehicle charging stations in front are broken and non-​electric cars park in those spots.

so this is a fairly new installment attributed to LA literary renovation. i spent many a day here toiling my time away why i was laid off… actually i was pretty much all over LA County using whatever resources were available. this particular location stands out since it was built over the bar that was in the movie ‘terminator’…or so i was told. but seriously, this is a pretty cute location to read over a few fasion mags and health books.
i was originally trying to comment on the pacoima branch… it bums me out that people from my ‘hood complain about not having nice buildings or companies coming into the area… and when they do… they’re written on. this punk-​ass, loser kid was writing on the asphalt right in the parking lot of the pacoima library with white shoe polish… juding by the way he was dressed, i was pretty sure he could afford a pen and paper. come on gente… be proud of your surroundings…
