About the Friends of the 4S Ranch Library

The Friends of the 4S Ranch Library is a group of volunteers who believe that a vital and attractive library is essential to our community. The purpose of the Friends is to focus public attention on library services, facilities and needs. Our goal is to encourage donations, gifts, endowments, and bequests to the library. We do this by participating in community activities and by holding special educational and entertaining programs. Our intent is to secure materials that are beyond the command of the ordinary library budget. You may join the Friends of the 4S Ranch Library by paying an annual tax-deductible membership fee.

ABOUT THE 4S RANCH LIBRARY

The 4S Ranch Library is the 33^rd in the San Diego Library system and is one of the top five busiest! The library was built by the Newland Communities as part of its 4S Ranch development agreement with the County.

The library officially opened its doors in 2006 and is operated and staffed by the County of San Diego. Because the County budgets for a basic level of staffing and service, donations and contributions are welcomed and encouraged by all that frequent the library. These funds that are raised by the Friends of the 4S Ranch Library, are then used for additional materials, supplies, and programs that patrons of the community continue to enjoy. To date, the branch boasts state-of-the-art amenities including wireless access, self -checkout machines, many public computers, and brand new books and materials throughout.

The library offers many programs for families with a wide variety for adults, teens and children.

What is offered at the Library?

The 4S Ranch Library offers a wide variety of programs aimed to satisfy the needs of the community. The library offers weekly family story times for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. Each summer, the County offers a summer reading program for all ages including infants, children, teens, and adults. Adult craft programs and monthly book clubs are also featured at the 4S Ranch library. The 4S Ranch library strives to consistently fulfill the mission of the San Diego County Library, to inform, educate, inspire, and entertain. The library features a variety of books, music, DVD’s from all of our 33 branches. The 4S Ranch library offers Early Literacy computers featuring educational computer programs to entertain and to educate our youngest community members.
