Laguna Niguel Public Library: Pair with Nature Hikes or a Garden Walk

The Laguna Niguel Public Library was remodeled in 2012 and features a large children's section.

Family-friendly?

  • Kids Section? Separate kids section with 2 small reading tables for toddler size - with accompanying comfy parent chair. Small chairs have fun farm animal cut-outs. There are a few more tables at homework height for older kids.
  • Audio Books? Lots of audio books.
  • Easy Labels? Shelves are clearly labeled and it's easy to find books by subject or reading level.
  • Friends of the Library bookstore? Yes!
  • Plenty of parking? Yes - there is parking behind the library.
  • "Shushing" factor? Kids section is distinctly separate from adults.
  • Toddlers? Have you seen these Target Toddler Totes? They are a complete storytelling kit with different themes. Kind of like a librarian in a box (see photo below).
  • Restroom location? As you walk into the library, they are to the left of the entrance.
  • Which library card do I use? This is an OCPL.org (Orange County Public Library) branch. You can check books out from here with your OCPL card and return them to any OCPL branch library.
