An excellent place to charge your phone and take advantage of the WiFi connection to the internet. Bathroom is always clean and the park next door is friendly and welcoming.

This is the oldest library building in the Los Angeles Public Library system, built in 1913 with a grant from Andrew Carnegie. This was the first of six Carnegie buildings to be built with this grant. Only three survive today: Vermont Square, Cahuenga, and Lincoln Heights branch libraries. Designated as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 264 in June 1983. In 1987, several branch libraries in Los Angeles were added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of a thematic group submission. The application noted Vermont Branch was "a one-story structure designed in the Italian Renaissance Revival and Mediterranean Revival style".

The librarians here provide such excellent customer service. They go above and beyond to make sure we have what we need. We are really lucky to have this gem in our community. They offer free computer use, printing, and even free books right by the front door. It is also located in a park, which makes it such a peaceful and welcoming place to visit.

This is a small library with only street parking (no parking lot). We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The children’s section is immediately to your left when entering. Even though the library is small, they have used every inch of it well to put in a large amount of books. The books are organized in a way that make it easy and accessible for parents and children to find books to read. The staff is friendly and helpful. The head librarian (manager) came over to where my daughter and I were sitting and spoke to us about the summer reading program, the swim program (giving us a pass) and where to find more information. She walked around to the other families in the children’s area. The library is very neat and organized. We look forward to visiting again.

I got these flyers from the library about the hours and the perks of having a library card.The staff is nice and the building has great AC. There are free books outside for who want them. I like that most of the people I saw inside were college students like me, working on homework.
