Edendale Branch Library

I love this library, confusingly located squarely in Echo Park, whereas the Echo Park branch is confusingly located smack dab in the middle of Historic Filipinotown. I used to pick up all my holds there, they are kept right in front and you can see them sitting there. Like all LA libraries it always seems occupied entirely by the unhoused using the internet but they try to show movies for kids and do stuff like that. Try the Cafe around the corner!

Sadie teaches cardio yoga here on tuesdays at 6:30pm. She is amazing!! I love that this branch is so close to their community and hosts lots of community events. Please let Sadie know she is truly valued!

If you want to have an item held for you to pick up on the same day, be ready to read their mind and provide the information they need. I called requesting to have a DVD held for me to pick up today. Person answered expected me to read her mind and give me info she needs. No "How may I help you." or a polite request with the word "please." After a period of silence, I hear "Library card number?" like I'm supposed to read her mind requesting that number. I was surprised since other branches I frequent like Wilshire, Cahuenga, Silverlake, Pio Pico, Felipe de Neve never ask for my library card number to have a item held for same day pick up so I did not have the card on me. The card was in my car outside with my 3 kids and hubby's cards. So I told her I need to get my card and as I was getting my card, she impatiently told me that she has people in front of her and can't help me. Did not even be polite enough to ask me if I can be put on hold! Of all the library staff I met and talked to, she was not nice. For a moment, I thought I was talking to someone working for DMV. For a library that used to have courteous employees that were really helpful, it's just sad to have that one person ruin the positive experiences had of the Edendale library.

This is a wonderful public library. In this day & age I am all about books in print. Computers are easy to reserve. The librarians are pleasant & helpful. With the exception of a few grumpy volunteers I enjoy the time I spend here.
