The best children's book selection, beautiful park right next to the building. Ray Bradbury used to give public readings here. Very peaceful place.

You have to love the kid friendly atmosphere. It has lovely ambiance and high ceilings. There is also a fish tank.

I've been coming here for the past weeks as my primary work/study place. The library is spacious, has a couple vending machines for basic drinks and snacks, plenty of seatings and electrical outlets to work privately. The staffs are really friendly too! It also has a high ceiling which makes working over long hours quite relaxing. There are some homeless people hanging about, but they won't bother you at all so no need to worry about them. One of the best public study spaces, if not the best in the area for sure! Highly recommended!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Does this library have individual study desks? Potentially with a power outlet for a laptop charger?

Andrew Loaiza | Sep 2, 2018
Miriam Tong | Sep 2, 2018

I'm not sure, since I've always gone just for books and not to study, but I think I've seen some study areas where it's basically several tables and each table is sectioned off (with low walls) into four/six sections. However, I'm not sure whether they have power outlets or not.
