The Pacific Beach/Taylor Library is one of 35 branches of the San Diego Public Library. Staffed by 4 full-time, 11 part-time, and numerous volunteer workers, the Library provides a wide range of services to the community.

Manuel Oncina, the architect, designed the building to resemble the shape of a nautilus shell. While the shell motif is best seen from overhead, the open design of the building and the many windows that let in sunlight create an organic feel that ties in with the natural beauty of this beach community. Nestled against the Taylor Greene, a park just east of the library that completes the rest of the city block, the Library is a welcoming destination point.

The library may be entered either from its main entrance facing Cass Street, or a second entrance that faces Dawes and is adjacent to the Library's Reed Avenue parking lot. Both entrances open toward the Library's large circulation desk, including two Express Check terminals for convenient check-out.

The Pacific Beach/Taylor Branch Library is open to the public every day of the week except on City of San Diego holidays and during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.

We hope that you enjoy your visit to the Pacific Beach/Taylor Branch Library. We are looking forward to seeing you here often!
