Very friendly staff, excellent/ efficient curbside pick up options and good collection of books.Pre-pandemic we really utilized all the extra curricular activities they had for kids. Hoping that well see those days soon in this neighborhood library
At least prior to moving back into the purple COVID zone, they offered contactless pickup, which is awesome. Check the website for the latest.
One of our favorite libraries. Its small, but has a great kids section with a couple computers for games. Its near two wonderful parks. Staff is friendly, decent graphic novel and fantasy books selection.
Excellent library connected to the book store. Very clean nicely used books. I found the books my children actually wanted without requesting a hold
This little used book store is a hidden gem. The staff is super friendly and the book selection is wide. You have find newer titles which is refreshing.
I am a friend too. Like all other friends of the library. They are run by volunteers rising money for libraries. Donate your book to them. Best way to recycle your book. And shop there you might find something you like.
Easy to find the books I am looking for. Also love placing items on hold and grabbing and going in a timely mayter. Wonderful check out
Awesome local library. You can have any book from any of the OC libraries delivered here for pickup. Strong AC inside especially during the summer heat months.
Very helpful front desk.Not much on Black American literature at all. I was very disappointed to see shelves of other heritages there.I cant use this library.
Nice library in a cozy location. Can hang out here whole day, browsing books and magazines. Staff and people are very friendly. The kids section is really nice and cute. The entire OCPL system is simply awesome.
They are amazing. I LOVE going every Wednesday and my Girls enjoy it to the max. Pj reading time is hour highlight of the week because we get to hang out with Ms. Teresa and Miss Emily. They are a blast.
It is a very cozy library. The staff is friendly, the books are varied, and the DVDs are great. Our children often rent books and DVDs here. It is also good to take a private walk along the park. Unfortunately, the Internet is slow.
Great prices. Poorly organized. Sections marked but sporadic ordering within them. Found similar books (title, author, binding, edition) in multiple sections with different prices. Good for browsing, but not suitable if you are seeking a specific item. Inventory includes movies on DVDs, music CDs, books on tape [CDs].
Great small selection of books, friendly service, and the money goes to a good place. Its changed over the years and I wish they would have more craft books, but still worth checking out every now and then. Bring cash.
This library does not have a great selection of books on CD - mostly series of those mystery books that are written by authors like Sue Grafton or Danielle Steele. I also wanted to inquire about the voters guides for the upcoming election and the front desk people sort of ignored me. I go because its on my way home from work but if you like audiobooks, go elsewhere
Good place for kids. Dont recommend here for someone finds quiet place for study.
Always can count on them collecting from other libraries to make items accessible.
Awesome outside 25 cent books! People working inside are always really really old but super friendly.
Great place
Love the Friends of the Library bookstores in and around OC, and this teeny one is wonderful.
Great place to read or study....very clean and quiet as expected.
Place is closed and hasnt been open for a year
Nice staff. Great books. The library was really quiet.
Organized and friendy staff, once you get the hang of the computer system its easy to find what your looking for.
The library is good but it should kind of get remodeled since it kind of looks too old
The place was big, there was many books, but it was pretty old, but still great and it is 100% recommended.
IT WAS AWSOME! THANKS! SIGN MG
It is amazing place with so much fun activitiesThey do Arabic storytime every 3rd Sunday of the month witch is an amazing thing with songs and dancingMy baby loves it
Great library, clean and nice arrangement of book shelves. The seats have vies to the residential area, which I find to be very relaxing and a good enough little break for study sessions.
It’s a quiet, cozy library with a variety of books in farsi, Chinese, Vietnamese and some russian books. It. Does have desktop computers and desks for study. parking is provided.
Great library! My son and I enjoy our weekly trips here.
This public library seems to serve as a place of day-care and a shelter for the homeless. We have been here on many occasions for study hall purposes, all which have been interrupted by unsupervised children and vagrants.
Very good small places filled with used books for sale. Got some gems here.
Great person at the desk. Wonderful selections of books.
Clean and nice people...free internet and many books
You dont have tennis partner and need more practice? Nice place to settle playing position alone in 3 side hard walls...
Awesome place for kids to play with great library play ground and tennis court
Very helpful and friendly staff, good selection of books and can reserve books from any OCPL branch.
Great books at amazing prices. LOVE coming here.
Well organized place and good for study, I am enjoying to be there and study.
I volunteer here when I can. Everyone is so friendly! They have a HUGE selection of books!...textbooks, cookbooks, childrenss books classic Shakespere, sheet music, CDs, DVDs,... the goes on! Many are brand new, or in very good condition. Hundreds are sold for just $0.25, while others are only $1.00. Skip Barnes&Noble. Buy your books here! They are closed on Wednesdays, and take any and all donations (except magazines). If you want a tax write off, ask for a receipt!
Great selection of used fiction and non-fiction books, from classics to mysteries, childrens books, foreign language and more, all highly reduced to sell. We always leave with our arms full.
There are loads of book that I love to read and the library is so clean for us to visit.
I small library with great people, and the librarians are awesome too...
The original place to read books, a library. Nothing is better than a physical book in your hands.
Nice cheap books, got me one for 0.25 dollars
Small library. Ive seen staff ask a group of special needs adults and their staff to leave if they wont quiet down; not very understanding
My son loves going to toddler storytime.
I tried to donate some things but they said they were full and they wouldnt take them. Ive never been back.
Great place to take the family!
Beautiful library and a friendly staff
Great books. Lots of stuff for kids
I am a regular here and they have a great collection of books and DVDs. The director of the library is very humble and modest as is the entire staff here.
Do you remember that old library you use to go to when you were a kid? This is the place. I didnt live in Irvine growing up, but I can appreciate going to an old library, kind of like the one in Ghostbusters. Something about the old dusty smell combine with older wooden furniture and near a Elementry school brings me back about 20 years :).. **but Jason how could that be? you only look 21. Thank you but looks can be deceiving. I promised I will stop talking to myself in this review...This library is perfect for children! There is a large area for children/ teenage books. The good thing is its far away from the adult tables/ study area. This library is pretty quiet. Except for the staff! I felt like the librarian was not near me, but I could hear him talking loudly on the phone or to a patron. Even though it was a work related call, he acted like he was in a cell phone in an area with low reception. This was annoying the crap out of me. If he would shut up, this place would be a perfect place to study. Not many people know about this library. There are a limited amount of tables but the wireless internet is suprising fast for such an old library. Compared to the Heritage Library the internet is the speed of Usain Bolt.Library good. Staff BOOOO. Highly recommended for kids and teenagers and people looking to travel back in time.
Small, but has good Russian Story Time for kids.
Great library clean location and the staff is mostly good the only thing is they are slightly more limited when it comes to books or movies compared to a library such as heritage park
We Love kids area
Good service,many chimes books.
Really nice, caring people
Too loud, I check good books out tho
My parents loved the way the library is maintained
One of my favorite libraries in Irvine
Great Library with Many great services
It is the best place for study and reading
You can borrow real books, DVDs. A lot of places for on-site reading.

Shopping places are far away. Superiors must be placed in every place and needs to be done, as most caravans do not have the car. They do not have a car. They do not care about it. However, thanks to the fact that its a good idea. 🌟形🌟
If you have a favorite Japanese book, you can buy it at a great price. About 50 cents ~
Very sidekick, Ofina!
Books are very cheap
