Beautiful building and art and fabulous collection

went to the central Library to look up research for a film. they had all the old files on micro film and quickly located it and set it up for me. They were very knowledgeable and sent me on my way to the next room with well equipped notes to ask on another topic. love love love this treasure

The LA Central Library also has a Patina Restaurant on the patio and it serves great food as reasonable prices.

This Library is huge with great architecture. Would really like to stay and read some books here.

I love being there! I saw President Obama's sister read from her new book in the auditorium. I was a volunteer for the adult readers. I borrow books, shop at the bookstore, and eat at Panda Express. It's like being home... reading, eating and gaining new insights. What a place to while away the afternoon!

Saved and lovingly restored after its massive fire, this is a masterpiece by Bertram Goodhue and Lee Lawrie. Be sure to see the main (upstairs) rotunda illuminated by Lee Lawrie's massive (and only) chandelier. This is one of America's finest buildings. PS It has a great gift shop!

This is really a nice library. The architecture is fun and almost interactive. Inside you can go to the top of a wonderful staircase and look down at the huge sculptures that hanve over the four floors of stair that climb up. Parking is relatively easy for downtown LA. There are a bunch of places to eat that are within... More

I found everything I needed and discovered and a great place to work and show my friends from out of town.

I was so surprised when i step inside. Lots of art display. Beautiful environment.
