PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE OLD GUYS IN THE TEENS’ ROOM. It’s nice but I don’t appreciate the old creeps lurking around there.. hmm Actually, yesterday, I went to the library specifically to study (especially since final exams are coming up). I go to the teens room (mind you has plenty of signs that say “teens and those who are accompanying them only”) and who do I find? Four grown men sitting at the four available seats. So now me, the ACTUAL TEEN can’t sit in the TEEN room because four GROWN MEN are sitting in there. I resorted to the kids section which will most likely cause a domino effect as I am not a child. Plenty of staff members walked by both the teen room and me multiple times so I’m surprised no one said anything. The collection is nice though.

the overall library is very good. Wide set variation of books. Although the volunteers are some of the most rude, egotistical, cock, presumptuous, domineering, overbearing, pushy, disrespectful librarians / volunteers i have ever met !!!! Ex. a little girl was asking for a specific childrens book, this disgusting old woman scolds her and says " we don't carry these types of books, we are a public library and i dont care what your teacher says if you want it so bad go and make it yourself" Can you believe that ?? an old woman talking like that to a young girl ? DISGUSTING !

So many great memories of this place...I wish we srill lived nearby so we could continue coming here. Hopefully we'll be back someday. Most of their employees are so friendly and helpful! That's really, really appreciated! Very nice set up with lots of tables and chairs to relax in. Lots of computers to use. Great selection of audiobooks - those are the best! Nice little used bookstore to purchase books & things for kids there. Lovely little park surrounds the library, great place to brings the dogs and play on the little hills. Benches to sit and read, too.

  • Alfred

Headed in here for some kids books. The sub helped me out find exactly what I was looking for. The kids section had little kids but that were attended by parents. I could see how it could be a daycare here with little ones running around but that goes back to the parents not the library or staff. Checking out the books was easy and the librarian helped me understand the app and how many books could be checked out now. Will gladly return

  • Robert Brown

It great to have a Library Open on Sunday. 1 pm to 5. pm is good hours Sunday to visit and there is a small park to sit and possibly have a picnic. Staff is friendly but small parking lot. Library lets all Card holders 2 hour a day computer use. Movies on DVD for 3 day rent. Good place for kids after school and to pick up from. 5 stars because of hours and convenient location off Nordhoff street MTA bus #166.

Excellent... !!! Excellent... !!! Excellent... !!! What else is there to say, but 'Excellent...' !!! And I currently live near Kaiser in Hollywood... I have to admit... my dad & I had some business to take care of in the Valley today... (Haircuts, Peking Wok, Library, and a visit to the Credit Union)... Along with... A very pleasant experience at this library branch !!!

As the regional library there select of books is better than the smaller ones obviously. WiFi is nice and strong. Because of all the glass my phone stays connected to 5G. Use this resource, remember the library buys books too or gets them from publishers at a discount. They also have audiobooks and other media that you can borrow via the Libby app.

  • Brian E

The Mid-Valley Library is one of the better libraries in the LA Public library system. It's nice and clean. Very well kept. The librarians are very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. They also have a used bookstore there as well. They also host a regular book sale. And have movie viewings there. Really recommend this particular library

  • Liz Jacobs

I love Zumba classes with Lula! I always feel great after an hour of Zumba with Lula. It’s only offered from May to October, but I wish it was offered all year long. I always leave class feeling great and full of energy. Thank you, Lula! You encourage us and push us in the most positive way! Please keep this program going!

  • Shiemier Munroe

Came to the library with my sister and her 7 & 1 year old daughters for children's Zumba class and we had lots of fun ! The instructor Lula was very energetic and friendly. She kept the children engaged and was very animated with the different fun dance moves. Definitely coming back to her class! …

¡the people who do the check out of the books to the library patrons have poor customer service who must be counseled and coached along with training to provide better service! - 7:21 pm Pacific DayLight Savings Time on Wednesday, 13 April 2022 Common Era or CE formerly known as Ano Domini or AD

  • Tim Caffery

I love the selection, hours, & location. I am somewhat perplexed that Van Nuys isn't the "regional" branch (location, location, location). And yes, my experiences with staff has been unsatisfactory, to down right pathetic. But, every treasure needs dragons to guard it, I guess.

  • Pouya Toosi

Looking for a quiet place to study? This is the worst place ever.sounds and noises you may hear here is a combination of sounds you hear at Starbucks , picnic places and child care centers.And here is the funny part: the walls and ceilings and the architecture is acoustic!

  • Chris Reinoza

The true, people ere is so nice, everyone who I had asked for help, were nice even with my limit English speaking. Thanks to the stuff, they make my visits easy even when I forgot my library card twice, they did their best to help me, and they did. Thanks to their stuff.

  • Stephanie S

This is a very nice large library. It is always clean and the staff are generally friendly and helpful. They have a large children's section with a cool sitting area that my 5 year old loves. I have never seen it crowded.l but I generally go in the middle of the day.

  • Emely

VERY RUDE IN THE FRONT DESK LADY WITH GREY AND DARK HAIR WEARING GLASSES SHE SUPPOSEDLY SAYS SHE'S THE MANAGER BUT WHAT MANAGER SCREAMS AT YOU & IS VERY DISRESPECTFUL, THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT US PEOPLE BEING LOUD BUT THAT LADY WAS BEING LOUD HERSELF & VERY RUDE

  • Tiffany Lee

This library is entirely too loud. It is the closest one to my residence. And the sanitizer by the restrooms is always out even when you let them know they don’t do anything. I wish I had another library to study at. One close to my residence.

  • Rowena Aguilar

This branch in north hills are excellent, every time I went to this place the staff are very nice & helpful. When Iask a question, they are there to help and teach me, and I learn a lot. Also this branch is huge, clean and very organized.

  • Van Doan

A nice and quiet place to study. They have lots of tables so that you can sit and study in a quiet and relaxing environment. They have power outlets on the floor, below most tables so it is very convenient.

  • Helaine H

Very actively attended, big, spacious, airy, and has a huge selection of books, dvr’s, music, and beautifully organized. Librarians are welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable, and the hours are wonderful.

  • Robert Zolfaghari

They need to do a better job of who comes in and out of this library. They allow sketchy people to come in and today saw a person with beer inside. Great job, especially with a place with kids around

  • claudia burkholder

This is one of the few library's that keep the newest movie releases separate from the old movies. So nice and convenient. I wish all branchs did that. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

  • cars135 2

This library is very nice and has lots of room. There are various computers and tables in which you can work or study. Outside there is also a nice area to read in.

  • Em

you ask for help and all you get is some attitude and rudeness like what's their problem these old ladies don't want to work here they should just leave.

  • Denise Burrola

This library is gorgeous. They have a ton of tables and chairs for you to sit or read. Their bookstore at the front looks like it has a lot of options.

  • Kitty Ando

Spacious, nice atmosphere, large selection of books. Easy parking. Comfortable chairs for reading. This is the best library in the San Fernando valley.

  • Jemima Ortega

espaciosa, gente amable y actividades interesantes los viernes los niños se entretienen y aprenden. lo único que le falta es un parque techado …

  • Amy J. Delevingne

If I'm not mistaken, it's the biggest public library in the San Fernando valley? It's huge! And their the only ones with an ice cold water fountain.

  • Rick Parker
