"What a unique building nestled in the foothills of the Verdugo Mountains overlooking the San Fernando Valley. Beautiful adjacent park grounds adding to the atmosphere. Friendly staff and a diverse selection of books to browse and plenty of space to spread out and read or study"

"Parking: free and plenty on the lot of Brand park.
Beautiful, old building with Moorish architecture.
The library is only for art and music books/CDs. It's part of the city of Glendale library.
About 1/2 the building is library, the rest is a modern art gallery and small theater.
Definitely worth a visit if your in the area"

"It’s in Brand Park. There are Dr’s House and Japanese Tea House as well. A baseball park is there. No parking fee. The park is open until 10pm. The library is small and small art exhibition is as well. People come here for having party, taking pictures for special events, and relaxing. You can see nice night views. Attractive place."
