James S. Thalman Chino Hills Branch Library - Chino Hills, California

I know I'm a bit late to share my thoughts, but I wanted to highlight this wonderful library I visited just before the holiday season. Hence, picture of the Christmas tree! =)
The location of the library is perfect—right next to city hall—and makes it easy to swing by after grocery shopping at Trader Joe's or grabbing delicious ramen at Silverlake Ramen or pizza at California Pizza Kitchen. Parking is ample, with a nearby garage for convenience. While the main lot can get busy, it's heartwarming to see such a strong sense of community, with mothers, fathers, and grandparents gathered in the read-aloud section in front of the library.
Inside, the atmosphere was lively and inviting, and I was impressed by the selection of books. The "Friends of the Library" program is particularly noteworthy; if you're unfamiliar with it, it's essentially a fantastic used bookstore where you can find incredible deals on gently used books!
Overall, this library is a true gem in the community, and I highly recommend stopping by if you haven't had the chance yet. You might just find your next favorite read!

I used to come here to do homework but there are always a couple of older men who are loud at the computers and want everyone else to be quiet, they are so entitled. one of the older men with a pony tail was turning towards me and another girl who were just flipping a page. I don't know why this library allows people to be so loud in there. They laugh so loud and talk very loud. I'm not sure if they are homeless but I don't feel safe doing my homework there anymore.

One of the best public libraries in socal area. Variety of kids events encouraging reading and amazingly organized library with the nicest staff I have experienced. If you are a inland empire resident this is a must go library and if you reside in san bernandino definitely must have for membership.

After the library's recent renovation, it met with readers for the first time with a space exploration theme. There were interactive space capsules and displays of space suits, and on the opening day, attendees had the opportunity to meet astronaut Joes in person. The event was organized brilliantly, and the children were extremely excited and fascinated, growing to love this library more and more.

The library has reliable internet and plenty of places for people who wants find place for their needs. Most of books are much recent and videos rental policies are reasonable. The meeting rooms are large but insulation may need bit work.

The library would become crowded during afternoon due to nearby high school students.

Always very clean and family friendly. A lot of work space to spread out and collaborative or individual options as well. Great place to tutor or be tutored, to do homework after-school, or to read a book. The Children programs for story time and arts and crafts are great too.

Children's area remodeled within the past year now has a Rocket and command center along with NASA items on display. Really cool if your kid is into Space.
