Katherine M.April 28, 2015Gorgeous 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.Upvoted Sep 12
L. MFebruary 16, 2013I 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.- JonesJune 26, 2023A 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

BlueKewneFebruary 14, 2014The library here is big, nice and very tranquil. I could spend days in here. Wish my local library was this big & tranquil.
Sophia KwongMarch 13, 2014I just bought 6 books for $3.50. Incredible!! I can't find used bookstores that can beat that.
ChristinaMarch 26, 2013Boo. 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.
Ally WareJanuary 13, 2015They have computers, lots of studying space,tons of books,kind workers, and free wifi
Eli LJanuary 12, 2012chairs at study desk are all hardwood chairs; bring a pillow if you're going to sit for a long time!- Only library where I can eat/drink openly and have laptop plugged in (cafe area downstairs).
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.
LaurenFebruary 17, 2012Library card process is a pain. Need two forms of id to prove you're a resident of the city.
Peter ChangFebruary 20, 2010For 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.
