📖 About Pine Valley Branch Library
The Pine Valley Branch Library is part of the San Diego County Library (SDCL) and serves Pine Valley, a small mountain community in southeastern San Diego County that sits along Old Highway 80 near the edge of the Cleveland National Forest. At roughly 4,000 feet of elevation in the Laguna Mountain region, Pine Valley is a rural gateway town for hikers, campers and residents of the Mountain Empire, and the branch is one of the county's compact backcountry libraries. Like every SDCL location it issues one free library card good across the whole system, so a Pine Valley cardholder can request items from more than 30 branches and have them delivered here. The branch also provides free Wi-Fi and public computers — valuable in a remote area — and gives residents full access to the county's digital collection through Libby, hoopla and Kanopy.
