    Gorgeous 1970s library designed by Dion Neutra (son of father Richard) with indoor trees and fountains. A dream if you like libraries, huge windows, and wood paneling. Located inside a 350 acre park.

    I live out of HB and still continue to use this library! It's huge with a large section of books that are for sale (cheap) and a very LARGE media rental room: DVD's, CD's, audiobooks, etc.

    A bit dated but still a lot to offer. Children’s wing has arts and crafts. Also have a dedicated small theater for story time. Has small cafe in the library serving coffee and snacks.

    Great library, the centralized loop ramp around the fountain is a great added touch. Go down to the lower level and enjoy coffee in a nice atmosphere. The Huntington Beach Playhouse is also located on

    The library here is big, nice and very tranquil. I could spend days in here. Wish my local library was this big & tranquil.

    I just bought 6 books for $3.50. Incredible!! I can't find used bookstores that can beat that.

    Boo. Have to be an HB resident to get a card for free. Guess I'll stick to my Samo library that allows free cards for all California residents.

    chairs at study desk are all hardwood chairs; bring a pillow if you're going to sit for a long time!

    Absolutely beautiful. I LOVE studying here! The best places are by the windows over looking the park.

    Can only renew books once while other libraries allow renewals twice. Can only check out 2 books from the same section.

    Library card process is a pain. Need two forms of id to prove you're a resident of the city.

    For all the parents out there, toddler story time is on Sunday mornings at 10am. Have older kids? No sweat. Their story time is at 11am.
