Regarding parking. They will validate parking in the parking building for free up to 2 hours. I heard the parking across the street cost 5 for the whole day. Sometimes there’s no one at the booth so you can leave without even paying because there’s nothing to stop your car. Overall, it’s better if you use the bus.As in books, they have wide variety but they have one book set so be prepared to be told that someone else has it at the counter. You can put it on hold and be the first one to check it out when it’s available. Some adult comics/manga/books are incomplete which is frustrating at times but it is what it is. What they don’t have at the library can be found on Libby/Overdrive.Seating wise, they have tons of tables with chairs all around the facility. They even have a hangout spot downstairs with sofas and comfortable chairs, but unfortunately they’re just for teens. I hope they can have one for adults for upstairs as that’s where adult content be found. The chairs on the main floor hurts my bottom so much. I hope they upgrade or switch the chairs sometime soon. I wish they had individual desks/study as they had before so that a whole table won’t be wasted on one person.I really like how the information desk helps people with the computers/books. They even have an event calendar on what’s going on with the library. I wish they had information about other libraries, city as well as oc stuff like OCTA.Overall, excellent service and building. I can’t wait how it would look in the future.

I love it here, but I am incredibly biased as I grew up in Santa Ana and frequented this library when I was young and then volunteered at different points in my life. It just makes me happy. Regarding the selection, I think it is great and the staff is helpful. There is always security on site and although there is at times occasional outbursts from a visiting homeless person, still enjoyable. They usually have a variety of events for all ages and book sales as well.

We love our library! The Santa Ana Library is always a fun and engaging outing for us. The staff really make it special, they are so incredible, and the weekly story times with Miss Bobby and the reading and math summer programs are such a fun experience for our kids. Going to the library is one of the most cherished ventures for our family. One day if we ever move, the Santa Ana Library will be sorely missed and our experiences there will never be forgotten by us or our kids.

The Santa Ana public library is open to the public again.Looks great!With fewer people than before one can enjoy reading in a relaxed way.
