Compton Library

Clean Everything there,...security as well and a diverse set of 📚 books! Across from McDonald's and at LA Superior court!

I’m standing in line trying to renew my library card. The librarian (older black lady with salt and pepper hair) insisted on having a personal conversation with the person in front of me. I was completely fine with it until it went on past a few minutes. I value peoples time, and that honestly was not the time nor place. You’re at work. Keep it professional.

Such a wonderful experience! As Black History comes to a close we decided to come to the library and check out a few culturally relevant books. Not only was there a flyer with recommendations on books that help build/boost the self esteem of Black children there was an extremely helpful lady at the front. We later found out her name is Krystal and she is the Library Manager. My 14 year old daughter expressed to Krystal the kinds of books we were looking for. Within minutes, Krystal found for us the absolute best selection of age appropriate books with beautiful brown skin children that mirror my kids' reflections. We all can't wait to dive into these stories! P.S. We've come here before for the children friendly activities led by Ms. Lowe. She is also amazing!

Libraries have changed drastically! There was a time you knew you were in a Library. An attendant would be on deck at all times, making sure there was know talking, eating, and the likings of..... Not so today! Prime example; Compton Library. Irresponsible Parents bring there untrained kids to the library, and let them run loose like animals.........It's very hard on concentration when someone is trying to Focus, or Study! P.S. There is entirely to many "Homeless" People here! They come in and take up Space from those who need to Study, and have some kind of Peace of Mind for a few hours. They come only to charge their phones, Sleep, Eat, and Drink........ There's a place for those people of this nature; It's called "Skid Row"...... Libraries are supposed to be a place of quietness, peace of mind, stillness, tranquility, and calmness.........This is not a place for babysitting, hangouts, sleeping, eating, or running all over the place as if you were in an amusement park!
