San Diego County is home to several excellent library systems. Click here for a list of local libraries and their websites.
Public Libraries -- Library cards are available free of charge to California residents at any of the public libraries, with a government-issued photo ID and proof of residence. A public library card allows you to check out materials and access many of the libraries' online databases from home.
Academic Libraries -- Access to most materials at area college and university libraries is availble to the public on-site. You can purchase a guest library card to check out library materials. Access to the library databases is available on-site but off-campus access is available only to the institution's students, faculty, and staff.
