My Library Is Important To My Community

I work at the San Diego County Library, Spring Valley Branch. I know that our customers who live in our underserved community appreciate the access to all the services we provide.

We also provide a safe, welcoming environment for our elementary and middle school students, who enjoy our afternoon crafts and other activities, and can get a free snack as well offered by the non-profit group Heaven's Windows in our community room. I have been told more than a few times by customers that they appreciate us here at our library and are glad we are here.

Thank you.

Our Point Loma library has its own ship and periscope and we feel the magic every time we…
