A friendly LA County branch with a kids' area, story times and free family programming, plus blessed air conditioning on hot valley days. A great free rainy-day or heat-wave backup when the parks are too warm. Check the events calendar before you go — story time fills up fast with local families.

I recently visited the Montebello Library because I’ve been focusing on improving my English, and I’m really glad I decided to come here and apply for a library card. This place is a great learning environment, especially for ESL students and self-learners like me. The library is very clean, quiet, and well organized. There are many comfortable spaces for reading and studying, and the overall atmosphere makes it easy to concentrate for long periods of time. I was impressed by the variety of books available, especially English learning materials, ESL textbooks, practice books, and test prep resources like GED and GRE. It’s easy to find useful materials for different levels, from beginner to advanced. The staff here are also very friendly and helpful. When I had questions about getting a library card and borrowing books, they were patient, professional, and welcoming. As someone who is still learning English, I really appreciate how kind and supportive they were. Another thing I really like is how peaceful the library feels. It’s a perfect place to slow down, read, study, and focus on personal growth. Whether you are a student, an ESL learner, or just someone who enjoys reading, this library is a great resource for the community. Overall, I really enjoy coming here and will definitely continue borrowing books and spending time studying at the Montebello Library. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a calm, supportive, and well-maintained place to learn.

Studied here and it was nice!! I didn’t see other high school students which is a good thing since am not a big fan of how the students in my school act. It was peaceful and calming, was able to get my work done! And will be reading books which is win win, since I’ve always loved reading.

This library was beautiful when it opened but it has managed to deteriorate terribly. Look so beat up now. Likely indicative of all the financial problems in the city of Montebello.
