Local Libraries and Online Books

A good book can provide entertainment and comfort as we continue to shelter-at-home. Although all local libraries are closed, you can still access books and resources online. There are two library systems in San Diego. Check them out below!

San Diego Public Libraries

Luckily, you can get a library card online. Follow this link to apply. Having a library card gives you access to the eLibrary with The Cloud Library, which has thousands of books available online, and RB Digital for audiobooks, among several other services.

San Diego County Libraries

San Diego County Libraries (SDCL) also have a vast online system.  You can apply for a SDCL library card here. Their eLibrary consists of kids resources, access to thousands of books at Overdrive, internet resources, news, encyclopedias, and more. SDCL also offers a helpful resource guide: https://www.sdcl.org/covid19-resources.html.

Once you have a library card, the Libby app is an easy way to connect to your library to see what is available.
