12/10/14 Pio Pico Korea Library,Los Angeles, CA

@PioPicoKoreaLibrary, Wilshire & WIltern Los Angeles...this is a run-down library amidst a lot of poverty in LA, ...THEY do have functional computers, and the staff is responsive in general to customer needs...it's NOT  a very friendly place..don't expect a smile or a hello from anybody, let alone simple conversation...but if you need to get on a computer or read a newspaper you can do that...but be mindful that their computers have NOT been updated in many years...still using outdated internet explorer (no firefox or chrome etc)...; and don't expect that to change in the next ten years...this is L.A. (and that's true for the entire LA public library system...all using outdated IE, ...EXCEPT perhaps for the west Hollywood library..I think they have updated IE , but then at WeHo you also have to contend with the constant gay propaganda on the walls
