Good large variety of books. I just wish there were more sci-fi and fantasy books for sale, and that I was better able to navigate the aisles despite all the booksellers that come with huge boxes and bad attitudes. Most people are friendly but some are just there to do business and are rude and clueless when they step in front of you or even grab what you're looking at.

This library is a bit older which i love, the quaint atmosphere, the smell of read pages waiting for the next friend to spend time with. I would've given 5 stars but because it is a smaller library choices are limited. Intertransfer loans are available. Just ask the helpful staff. Read on, my friend!

Rented 14 movies until next Thursday, great selections and the DVD's are of good quality. But to get the best out of the DVD's, spray a little rubbing alcohol on them and wipe them off gently and they work beautifully!!

I really like this library. Love the mid century feel of this building. The staff is always helpful at this location. Wish I lived closer to go to it. This is one of my favorite library branches.

I am a new member of Friends. I use the Mission valley Library. I was told that members are able to come and look at books for sale on Thursday and Friday. If so what are the times and is it ok to visit the park st address. Thank You Michael Dysart

Hi Kaitlin! Yes, we do, thank you! Please no 10-yr old textbooks, mags, encyclopedias or VHS. But we'd love just about everything else! If you arrive & find the bookstore closed, you can bring the donation to the library staff, they'll accept for us. Be sure to ask for a charitable donation receipt if you want to write it off on your taxes. https://www.skylinehillslibraryfriends.org/bookstore

I have a large collection (6 shoeboxes) of VHS tapes that were barely used that I would like to donate. Each one was probably only viewed once or twice. They are in great shape. Do you accept them, and where should they be taken for donation?

They have a colorful dumpster type metal box behind the library, you don't have to go in if you don't want to.
