San Diego Public Library - San Ysidro — Attraction in San Diego

HORRIBLE staff! Well, just Elaine the branch manager and the huffy mall cop in the front on duty that sits around and yells at everyone who walks in. No friendly welcome or greeting. Dirty looks galore. Elaine made a huge ruckus kicking a poor elderly man out as Elaine was making a LOUD scene with the lazy security gard, demanding the old man to leave with the security gard backing her up so she could get brave and bossy... repeating to leave NOW, leave immediately. He was filling out job applications and made a call to set up an interview so just for that they said he needed to leave and NEVER come back because he was making a call! They got out of line with him by shutting his computer off and threatening to call the cops if he didn't leave. They were both RUDE & extremely unprofessional & need to be reprimanded to the fullest.

This was very upsetting. He also was not understanding towards my toddler. We were in the event room and my two year old was skipping and he told her not to be running. it was just us and two other parents with there kids (still waiting for our turn) i totally understand if she was endangering herself or anyone else around her, but no. Please schedule him morning shift he clearly...

Nice, safe, quiet place to work for parents, kids and teens. Theres public restrooms, security guards, printers, computers, plenty of desks for individual work, and private rooms that you can use for meetings or study sessions for 2 hours at a time! Free wifi, very sweet & helpful staff, they all speak Spanish & English. There's also LOTS of events that are open to the community, such as Homework help, Computer classes, clothing donations & more! If you need to print something, you'll have to use their computers & pay 15cents per paper cash. They will eventually upgrade to google pay, apple pay, etc but for now its cash only...
