Library Services
|
Libraries are sources of lifelong learning and enrichment. San Clemente’s Public Library, a branch of the Orange County Library System, provides free access to collections of books and media in a wide range of genres, subject matter and formats. Libraries provide the community with universal access to resources that are integral for education, leisure, personal growth, health, skill-building, and vocational training. They also foster social interaction, community ties and lifelong learning through educational programs for children, teens and adults.
