We all had a great time and will definitely do this again.

That said, it still feels like a gathering spot for many unhoused individuals. I understand public libraries are meant to be welcoming community spaces, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it does make me a little hesitant to bring my kids here. Today was an exception because they completed the summer reading challenge and earned free fair tickets. The children's area is a huge positive. It's separated from the main library, feels safe, and the staff working there during our visit were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, because of its location, you'll still occasionally see people walking through from the main library. Parking is another challenge. No matter what time I've visited during the week, finding a spot has always been difficult. The front desk staff came across as less welcoming than I'd hoped, while the children's staff completely made up for it with their excellent customer service. I'm a strong supporter of public libraries and the resources they provide to the community. My rating reflects the value of those services rather than the behavior of other patrons or the customer service experience alone. Despite a few drawbacks, I'm grateful our community has access to a resource like this.

If you live in or near Oceanside and haven't been to the First Friday Art Walk yet, you should go!…read moreI try and make it to every one, and it's always a good time. Super laid-back, very Oceanside. You can wander through Artist Alley, check out local art, talk to artists, and just hang without feeling rushed. The drum circle is always a highlight, the energy is really fun. It's easy to make a night of it too since there are so many good restaurants nearby. Grab dinner, walk the art walk, maybe stop somewhere after. It runs May through September from 5 to 8pm, and it's free. Definitely worth checking out.

My husband and I love to browse and shop, getting to know the artists who show up on the First Friday Art Walk every month in Oceanside, California (North San Diego County). It's such a treat to support local creatives. In fact, after years of enjoying the event as customers, I ended up becoming a vendor, where I sell both my International bestselling books and my unique PAUA jewelry designs. This monthly event is a gem, and it keeps growing and getting better over the years. Highly recommended.

This was during their early set-up they were just settling into this comfortable space. Oceanside has created several community shared spaces over recent years, adding to the craft beer, local wine and thriving food scene. A co-op style environment, where local artists, makers and creatives show off there work and which you can support and shop SoCal. There is one of a kind art, fashion and jewelry. An added bonus is coffee, so you can linger longer with abundant seating around. It's one of those places where you will always get your find on; a card, a baby gift, a plant. I picked up some glow in the dark tattoos. Check out this ever changing spot in South O'side... #TheRisingCo #SouthOceanside #LingerLonger #SeaborneCoffee

This is also a fantastic place to buy something nice for someone. These pieces are so beautiful they would be great as gifts. Highly recommend just stopping in!

Do they plan to leave the theater doors open throughout the entire performance? This is definitely very different from Carnegie Hall... I should have known better.

I would recommend the theater. Street parking is available and not too far away is a parking garage. Be aware of where you park, watch for timed parking signs.

I politely asked for assistance, and instead of being helped, the employee was extremely rude and hostile. While I was trying to find information, she harassed me, spoke to me aggressively, and acted as though I was an inconvenience simply for being present. To make matters worse, she got on her cell phone and was cursing and speaking negatively about the customers that she encounters, which was completely unprofessional and made me feel uncomfortable. At one point, she told me I needed to "hurry up" because "you have literally 5 minutes before I go to lunch," as if her schedule mattered more than providing basic customer service. I asked for her name, and she said it was Michelle, but by that point her behavior had made me feel so uneasy that I couldn't trust her with my package--or even trust that she was being truthful. I took a photo and informed her that I did not feel comfortable mailing my package there and would be taking my business elsewhere. She didn't stop there she continued to harass me until I was outside the building. No customer should be treated this way, especially when they are being polite and asking for help. This experience was disrespectful, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable for a federal service facility. I will never return to this location, and I strongly caution others unless serious changes are made.
