Really digging this library. Helpful staff, clean areas, place to study or get some quiet time, are some of the cool features that this branch has. Located on Aero Drive, this place is hard to miss, and there is ample parking. There is an after hours book drop off if they are closed. There are lots of computers to use to help search for an item, and if you need help the library crew out. For folks that have kids that need homework help, there are established times where volunteers offer a bit of tutoring services, which is great. Glad to see that our hard earned tax dollars are going to fine establishments such as these. I felt that the crowd here were courteous and the «quiet» level zone is on par. There are alot of free and/​or inexpensive things that the library offers, such as seminars or job workshops. You just have to look and ask for help.

The library guru I am!!! This may have been a church at one time or another. Beautifully stained glass windows. The Library has an Antiqua feel to it, furniture is unique and reminds me of a cathedral. This library has graphic novels!!! There is an amazing children’s section… Great place to study. Gotta take a look at this one!

Great private desks, comfy chairs for reading, and nice outdoor space. Book selection is a bit limited depending upon the topic, parking lot usually has open spots and staff are friendly. I was not able to logon to wifi, when i asked if anyone else was javing issues the librarian said not that she knows of. I have been to this library 4 times now and always had issues with wifi, could be my laptop or could be the librarys router. I never have issues with wifi around town, only here. Read other reviews if this concerns you. Overall nice, clean library.

This is my local library and I love it! It is well-​maintained and very welcoming. And it also has a geocache behind the building. Love seeing the variety of groups that use the space..

Best Library Ever!
Aside from the books and sweet staff, the design is awesome, inside and out. Just wish the water fixtures in the back worked. T_​T
The Summer Reading program gets better every year. When it first started, I think «In n Out Burger» was their only sponsor. Now they have several, who also put in for the rewards. San Diego Zoo, The Padres and a couple more.
Free Wifi, if you have your own computer, Zumba classes 3 days a week, Magic Shows and story times for kids on Wednesdays. I love that Serra Mesa Library really welcomes the community to get involved. O (n_n)o
They even donate to a local Animal Shelter «San Diego Humane Society».The Library (and San Diego Humane Society) is a great place to finish up your High School Grad. Requirements (Volunteering) The staff appreciates the help. o (n_n)o

Wow Super nice Library. It reminds me of one of those fancy bookstores, but you don’t have to pay any $$$$ to read the book of your choice. They also have a Zumba class for FREE. It is super quiet. I live in North Park and go to the NP library. However the NP librabry is the NOISIEST library!

This is my favorite library in SD because the staff is very nice & there’s always plenty of parking. I also think it’s wonderful that they offer so many activities to the community

Love it. Lots of classes for kids and free zumba! The children’s area is very nice. I wish there was a bigger selection of books for young kids but it’s decent. The rest of the library is great as well and there are lots of nice areas to sit– inside AND outside. Just a very relaxing place to be in.

One of my favorite libraries in the city — it is spacious, has lots of natural light, tile and stained glass reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright, and is open on Sundays. It is a newer library and I’m glad that the city took an effort to give the library more than a cursory box for architecture. It has interesting architecture, layout, courtyard seating, and lovely tile work in mosaics. All libraries should be like this to inspire and attract curious minds young and old. They have free wi-​fi and plenty of seating and cubby holes to study. The staff is super friendly and does a terrific job checking in books immediately upon return — this is not a common thing at other libraries, enabling you to check out more media to fatten your brain! :-D

At first glance this is a really great library! I’m studying for a test at work and it had a lot of tables and places to study. From looking around it seems like they have events regularly for the community and a wide selection of books. I will admit I’ve been out of the «library game» for a while but from I can tell this is a great place for all ages.

I don’t understand why this place is soo loud. As I type this I can hear a child making a fuss in the background and here peoples conversations at the front desk. Usually library is a place where silence is key. I guess not here.

Clean and spacious. Needs more reading cubicles tho. It has a pretty big kids area with comps and tiny tables.
Wifi was pretty spot-​on which is a rare experience for me in a public library. It also has these impressive displays of figurines from superheros to iconic figures. Pretty neat. I would definitely come here again when I’m in the Clairemont area getting some ramen or something, but it does need more places to sit.

This library is a fantastic replacement for the old Serra Mesa library. The bathrooms are in great shape months after construction and very easy to use with large buttons for all the doors.
There is plenty of sunlight and even an outdoor place to walk around in the back.
Unfortunately, the old books were moved over and, so, the books could stand to be replaced.

Awesome place to study. Free wi-​fi that can get slow sometimes. The library has gotten so high tech now a days. You can check out books on your own.
It’s quiet the majority of the time. Sometimes there are kids that are loud, but they do a good job with minimizing that.
My only complaint would be the hours. I wish they would open late all the time.

I usually come here to work or go on my laptop and I love it!
Not the biggest library but plenty of seating and they even have individual cubicles for those who like to hide what they are doing. They have outlets at every table and also free wifi!
Other than that, I don’t know much about the actual library but from what I experience, it has been great! Also, a reallly quite place so might not be a good pick to bring your chatty place to study.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon because this was one of the only libraries that was open in the area. I tried to knock out my Statistics homework for school in peace but only was partially successful as there were way too many young kids around. Not the library fault though.
I don’t go to libraries much anymore simply because I don’t have the time. If I did, then I would probably come to this one. They have free wi-​fi, plenty of seats and tables, and books. You probably wouldn’t think of me as an intellect upon looking at my photos but I do like to read; mostly biographies and documentary books and articles. I love to learn about the past.
Very clean and nice library. Great for kids as well.

This is a great library for kids, families, and travelers. I just wish that it would stay open later.
Tutoring night is once or twice a week, tons of activities, and a nice outdoor study area which still gets wireless internet & you can make phone calls there too (be nice if there were a plug for laptops on the outside)
The librarians are nice. There to serve.

Beautiful library, close to home, great place to study.
Mid-​day the sounds of whining, screaming toddlers fill the halls, not good.
