The Huntington Beach City Library is a great place for family. There are parks there for people to play in or have sport games played. There is a huge fountain out front for pictures or to just sit out and listen to while laying in the sun. The library has a lot of books, about 2-3 floors. The floors are small so it's kinda difficult to say if the building has stories. The library has a lot of sitting places for students and residents to come to, to relax and study. There are a few fountains in a study area. It's a soothing sound to help the concentration, but also a little too relaxing. I find that in a sense, I was sleepy more of the time rather than focused.
There is also a section where they have a theater where they have city concerts held. I have been to a few of their classical music concerts. They are very good. The theater is small, but it's intimate enough to get a good sense of the music also share with a couple 100 people or so.
The only downfall is when you are in the library, turn your phone off, and prepare not to use it at all. There is a fee to pay if you are caught using your cell phone.
