    Came here on a weekday, it wasn't too busy in the middle of the day. This library is pretty big with lots of different sections. I loved it all!! A section for kids, teens, spanish books, fiction, computers... even bright wifi area. The building itself seems a little old and dated, but there's so many resources available. I love how CV libraries are all linked. If this particular library doesnt have a book you are looking for, but another one does, you can have it sent to the library of your choice to pick up and check out. You can search for books online if you like. More people should take advantage of all that is available at libraries like this one!

    The Wi-Fi here is really s..l..o..w, but it's more spacious and available seating than La Mesa.

    I like this library and services, but your hours are wrong as listed. Look on the website because it is open on Monday at 10am

    Decent sized library with a good amount of books. Their children's section is pretty huge with…read moretables and busy boards on the wall. Small section of board books by the little kids table. There is another room for teens which I assume may be YA books? There's a window in the kids area that looks into the teen room. Easy to get a library card if you have a photo ID and proof of address. Self checkout for books available and also pretty easy to use. There is a small used book store that also had puzzles and board games outside for sale. We happened to come in 30 minutes before story time for the little ones (ages 1-5) and it was a lot of fun. There were so many people in there! My son had a wonderful time, thank you Rosa!

    This is one of the best public libraries I've ever been to. It's been years since I've been to one,…read morebut now that I have a little one - it's the perfect place to socialize and read. My lil bookworm loves the variety of books. Weekly story time with friends is a plus. I met another frequent mom/visitor - she's been going to this library for years and told me they just renovated it. You can definitely tell once you walk in. There are restrooms and a community room for activities such as chess night. There are private quiet study rooms, a 3D printer, a kids section and more. The library is clean, very spacious and all the employees are extremely friendly.

    I haven't been here for years. I recently came to bring my toddler. So we were mainly on the first…read morefloor, which is where the kids section is. It was just amazing. It is so big, with so many different sections. They have an area for young toddlers, to toddlers, to kids. I was so impressed with how much books they have. In addition to that, they have CDs, DVDs, magazines, pretty much anything you can think of. There are a couple of different areas where they can sit and learn. I do love how there were different types of seats as well, for instance, for the younger kids they have the little balanced chairs. There is lots of play area for the kids to have sensory play. They have educational computers, there was four. They have a little area for kids to play with toys and use their imagination, so many good items. There are puzzles, coloring, pages, arts and crafts. I was really blown away with how great this library is. The staff who helped me, I did not get her name, but she was so friendly and answering, and all my questions. They have so many activities also throughout the week, such as reading time and other arts and crafts that you can do amongst other peers. I am so looking forward to bringing my child here so that he can have more socialization with other kids. And mind you, this is all free, which is so amazing. I mean, obviously we have tax dollars that goes toward this. . But yeah, you can check out their schedule for what they offer for the kids. Yeah I think this is the best library so far that I've been to for the kids in San Diego. You can also park underground. Just make sure you take your parking validation upstairs so you do get the first two hours free when validated. After that, I believe it's $1.25 per hour or something like that. Which is very reasonable for downtown. Just remember if there's any events, like the baseball games or anything like that, there might be a surcharge, for example when comic con comes on as well. This is definitely a great learning spot for young children. And if you or someone you know, doesn't have the financial means to do arts and crafts, buy so many books, or have enough space to even how all of these things, this is great that this library has it all for free. I have taken my son to the little play area where we pay like $15 an hour for him to run around and it's further up in Mira Mesa. This is just another great alternative for a fraction of the cost. Sorry I just love this so much. We are definitely coming back here and also exploring as many different libraries as we can.

    A beautiful library nestled in the heart of downtown SD!…read more There are sooo many things to explore in this library. Boasting a total of 9 levels, there's an art gallery, bookstore, and even a high school here! If you're looking for gorgeous views of the city while you read, work, or study, head up to levels 8 and 9. Everyone here is super friendly and there's plenty of spacious seating options with outlets! However, if you're planning to visit, you should know that quite a few homeless folks utilize this place to rest and sleep. They're very respectful and keep to themselves, so it didn't bother me personally. Note: They have a parking garage underground and they validate up to 2 hours!
