Oceanside Public Library Mission Branch — Attraction in Oceanside

This is a great Library! When you enter the lobby you'll find that it is designed with light and an open and peaceful feeling. There is a center booth with an Assoc. ready to help. They, and I mean everyone, are friendly and eager to help. The new (State of the Art) and easy to use Checkout machines make checkout fast. You can checkout many things besides books.

Movies for a small charge of 75 cents for a week (you won't find that at RedBox!) and many of the DVD's are free!, if they're a Documentary or something other than Hollywood full blown production movie, it's mostly no charge and if your day is to busy to see it that night , no worries you have it for a week! CD's are free! (CD's have a security lock, so use the unlock blocks next to Checkout machines).

Upstairs are computers to access the internet. This Library is not stuffy at all and they have many items to checkout, so do just that. Library Book Sales are on most Thursdays to coincide with the Farmer's Market.

Nothing against them personally I just really hope they stop doing this, since it makes it really hard to concentrate on my homework. Also it’s not that clean like people say it is. I wiped my table down and it was brown with dirt. I would suggest having wipes more readily available...

Nice library. However all the Oceanside Libraries have terrible WiFi. In this day and age a decent network is necessary to get work and research done and expected of a library (Orange County Libraries have fast and reliable networks). Simple web pages took 10 or more seconds to load. Many sites times out. Have made many suggestions that they get their IT to work on it and, without fail, I am given the excuse of conversation, even with an almost empty library. If you need to work on anything that requires internet I recommend you go to the nearest Starbucks or fast...
