County of Los Angeles Public Library – La Mirada Library

I really like this library as the straff is ver friendly and helpful. It works well for me and if they don’t have the books I want there then I just go on line and order them. I have never had a problem with anyone at this library. It just works for me

This place is my hang out. The people are super duper nice, always helpful, talkative and up to date on the coolest fiction. I’ve been told they are going to begin renovating either in 2016 or 2017, so look forward to a more streamlined and beautified library.
Seriously though, a shout out to all the La Mirada employees. You guys rock!

Story time at 11am on Wednesdays. Amy the librarian read several stories, did a large motor song and had play dough out at the end. They were also able to read and play with toys/​puzzles. Hoping maybe one less story and a flannel board, instruments or finger plays will be added. Sitting time is too long for the age group. Lovely librarian with lots of potential. We will be back.

So Noisy!!! Never been to a library that is so noisy. Kids screaming/​crying, talking out loud, workers stacking books so loudly. Constant noise of some kind, kids, talking, yelling, workers, stacking of book, beeping… What ever happened to shhhishing… hushing… Few things I do Like… some good free movies including korean movies and wifi is good.

This is my absolute favorite library in the County of Los Angeles. Not only is the location of this library beautiful but inside is very nice as well. I love the selection of books this library has especially the books that are in different languages than English.
Pros: The staff is so sweet they always try to make conversation with people. The library is super tidy. The library has special events during the month that anyone can enjoy.
Cons: There isn’t any outlets for charging phones or laptops, and the few places that do have outlets are not located near any desk or tables. Translation = If you want to plug in your laptop you have to sit in a corner of the library on the floor blocking an aisle.
Review: Great place to plug into a book; not an outlet.

It is a fairly old and small library. However, they keep busy with hosting public speakers and events. The staff are friendly and nice. And I am liking the selections of audio CDs! They just need to keep their DVD/​movie rental selections more up to date.

I feel like La Mirada is a very up to date city with many great features for the public. But one thing that needs to get torn down and re done is the La Mirada Public Library.
The building looks quite old from the outside but when you walk inside it looks almost exactly what I would picture it as in the 60’s. This place looks ancient!
I know we don’t have much money for a new library but maybe change it up a little bit. Put new carpet, rugs and maybe just take all the wood furniture out. :) I think it would brighten this place up.
The books well the selection of books is quite limited. I was a little bit on the surprised side to see that the children section was not filled with many books!
This library needs a lot of help and I hope to see this place change in my lifetime at least.

The La Mirada Library was where I got my first library card and got me fascinated with books, traveling, and research. They had an extensive children’s library where so many books and programs could be found. It was like a home away from home.
However, almost two decades later, it wasn’t the magical place that I imagined as a child. The great selection of books has waned (so many outdated non-​fiction books, especially on careers, technology, etc.), the hours suck (it’s only open four days a week), and the Wi-​Fi BARELY works (you need a library card to use it). What I do like about the library however is the librarians who are helpful in finding what you want.
The county library system hasn’t really given much love to La Mirada Library. It’s a fairly small suburb, yet some cities nearby have larger libraries and longer hours (e.g. Cerritos’s Millenium Library). A city deserves a better library with longer hours, good service, and working Wi-​Fi.

The La Mirada Library is part of the LA County Library system. They have a helpful and friendly staff and librarians. There is also a super manager who stays active with the library staff. There is a great children’s area that is separate from the adult section. They also have a meeting room that is huge!
They have a great selection of books, large print, audio CDs, DVD for checkout and New Releases for $ 1 rental that goes back into the library fund for events, services and materials.
The only bummer is that Friday hours have been cut due to funding cut backs in the county. That is why it is so important to Support Your Local Library!

Memories… like the corners of my mind.
I love walking into this place and taking a big giant whiff of old books. You know what I’m talking about. Old BOOKS. Its a smell.
They should bottle it.
Anywho…
Great staff, usually seniors that are super fabulous and friendly.
Great selection. Beautiful area in La Mirada right next to the park and across from Biola.
Ask about when the next book fare is… you don’t want to miss those!

If you’ve never been, you should check out the La Mirada Resource Center and Regional Park. The «Splash» water park is now up and running and the city does a lot of nice things for it’s citizens. The library is across from town hall. Moderately sized book collection, lots of great and current movies to rent (only $ 1), friendly and helpful staff, and fast and free wi-​fi for residents. The lobby always has an interesting display; the 1^st time I went there it was a Mr. Potato Head collection. The water drinking fountain is real cold and the bathrooms are kept clean. I still haven’t completely pieced together the connection between large book collections and #2.
