Escondido Public Library - Escondido, California

I love the Escondido Public Library. Not only is it free parking, free to get a library card, free to use the computers, study, relax or read here, they also have a 3D printer, AC which is perfect for the summer heat, and 5 billion books, movies, TV shows, magazines, newspapers, audio books and more! They also have tons of educational classes and groups for all different ages if you look at their monthly schedule. We NEED to keep libraries alive because they are amazing!! The people who work here are very nice and will help you find what you need. Wheelchair accessible parking outside, Wheelchair accessible entrance with motion-activated doors, accessible bathrooms and an elevator to get to the second story of the library.

Interactive, clean, welcoming and educational.

I'm coming to the Escondido library for 6 years now. I sincerely think it's an asset to the community. It's well stocked and has a rotated out display of both new fiction, and a monthly spotlight on a certain topic.

They regularly invite musical guests and live stream it on their Facebook. They have multiple programs such as read to a bearded dragon, summer reading challenge, baby lap sit, and seasonal holidays from various cultures.

Their bathrooms are clean and well lit. They have changing stations, their water fountains don't taste bad. They regularly have sales every Saturday I believe for their library bookshop where they sell second hand books and have a good variety to pick from.

Staff is kind and very helpful and knowledgeable. They recently had a lively mural that you can see from the street done as well as several pretty pieces of art around the library. I'm very grateful for this library and would absolutely recommend it.

I have been coming to the Escondido Library since it was just in the other small building. Very happy when the new building opened way back when. Great staff, great books, wonderful entertainment, just my favorite place to go. Thanks to everyone who makes it possible.

I came looking for used books to buy. They have a larger selection than the san Marcos branch. Very friendly helpful staff. I was looking for Spanish children's books, when I didnt see many one of the ladies looked in the back room and found a few. I was a ble to buy 5.

Amazing selection, love this library! Unfortunately... there are often (harmless) unhoused people outside and in.

The Escondido Public Library is a good place to hangout & beat the heat of summer. They have comfortable chairs to lounge in, the WiFi is good, & it is handicap accessible. The library is in a convenient location; it is on a bus line. It is even open on Sunday. My only complaint is that they do not have a way for me to airprint. Other than that, this place is great...they even have copy & fax kiosks & scanners in the business area. Check it out!

Great selection of graphic novels for all ages, nice children's room, plenty of places to sit and read, study or do research, and great deals on secondhand books. My kids and I rarely leave with fewer than 50 books checked out.
