Skyline Hills Library
Built as a model for future construction, the Skyline Hills Library opened in 2016 as one of the most modern and efficient buildings in the City of San Diego. The single-story, 15,000-square-foot facility was designed to address the needs of the Skyline Hills and Paradise Hills communities. A large community room and kitchen provide space for educational and cultural events throughout the year. The library includes children and teen spaces, study areas, a computer lab and a designated homework space for students. This new library replaces the former 4,400-square-foot library building at 480 South Meadowbrook Drive which was outdated and no longer adequate to serve this dynamic neighborhood.
