Lloyd Taber Library-Marina del Rey Library 4533 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey, CA 90292

"No AC, very small library, only 2 ALL GENDER restrooms. I was shocked. Beverly Hills library is much better"

"This is hard for me to write because the staff is great the play area is good and it has a beautiful view. The last couple of times I was there there have been scary men outside screaming at people (and inside) and also a man had a pit bull in the library who I am guessing was not a service dog. Its not worth taking the chance of having something go bad. There is an armed guard at other branches that take their job seriously (Culver City)and we feel very safe with her there. Was looking for variety but safety is most important."

"I love their selection of travel and sailing books. But I've felt unsafe every time I've come here, even to drop off a book. A couple days ago, I was followed on foot by a needlessly aggravated homeless man who then proceeded to follow me on bike and then try to block my car as I was making my exit. I was so close to running him over. It's the first time, in my whole lifetime of living in L.A, that I've ever felt like I must live in Gotham City now..."

"As other reviews have said, violent homeless men are a major problem. A man on February 26th smoked marijuana in the building, spoke and made loud noises, then swiped someone's belongings off the table and then, with security watching very close by, stood there and watched as this man (who had already walked through metal detection so there was presumably no threat of a gun being pulled at least) swung at staff and landed a punch on the same man who he had swiped all the belongings off the table after clearly communicating intent to attack minutes before hand. So do be warned that you have a likely possibility of being violently attacked in the library with no one to assist you. There is the Playa Vista Branch nearby that has many children and is in a much better (wealthier) neighborhood. At least there may the possibility of parents there who have the balls to voluntarily confront violent people if the security doesn't want to."
