Join the Celebration!
Storytimes, musical storytelling, bluegrass and health screenings: we are celebrating National Library Week in many different ways! To find out more about what is going on, check out our event calendar or read our press release!
Check out an iPad!
Thanks to a generous grant from the Escondido Rotary Club, the Children's Department recently purchased iPads and loaded them with some amazing apps! We encourage families to come in and check one out to use in the Library. 
Read Digital Magazines at the Library
Through Foli, a new magazine subscription service, iPad users can now read selected e-magazines for free at the library. We're proud to be the only place in Escondido piloting this new service! Just download the free Foli app in the App Store.
