Entertainment and education can be yours at no cost with a library card. The San Diego County Library system has got it all from books to e-books to audiobooks in just about every genre. Plus, they also have movies and music to loan.

Now if you need some recommendations, we have included the County Library’s Top 10 lists for books and movies checked out in 2021.

Library patrons can go in person to get any physical materials from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at all 33 county libraries. Please wear a mask to stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic. Physical materials like books, audio books, DVDs and CDs can be requested online or by phone and picked up at your branch’s check-out area.

And of course, library patrons can still digitally access all the library’s digital and electronic materials around the clock, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by downloading the Libby app for e-books, audio books and e-magazines, https://libbyapp.com/.
