The Libraries Around Town

One of the best free resources in the city and the county is the excellent library systems found throughout San Diego.

Currently, we have San Diego City, San Diego County and National City Library cards. With access to all three of these systems, we have borrowed some of the best movies ever made (Criterion Collection movies!), some of the newest music released, and the hottest best selling books.

Going to the library is also good on very hot days since they are official "cool zones", places that are air conditioned! So going to the library on hot days helps you stay cool and borrow cool material for when the sun goes down and the heat dissipates.

Libraries are also a wonderful place to do work since they offer computers (30 minutes per session) so you can access the internet. You can also bring your laptop and access the web because they all have FREE wifi.

For parents out there, libraries are a great place to bring the kids. Depending on the branch, there are great children resources such as reading time and short classes on sign language. At most of the branches, there are children specific zones for you to quietly read to your tyke, or where he can color, or where you can check out Wiggles or Thomas the Train DVDs.

Here is a list of libraries that we have reviewed for Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/list_details?list_id=y4GkP0wwMW5jgAKoqrvFMQ

Libraries remain the best and cheapest way that municipalities educate and entertain their citizens.
