Parking Lot Expansion Update | |
Scripps Miramar Ranch Library is proud to present our new and improved upper parking lot, now available for our patrons to use! The lower lot is closed for construction. The number of on-site parking spaces is still limited. Thus those who are physically able are encouraged to utilize the overflow parking along Meanley Drive which also includes more than 30 spaces in the water department parking lot and can be accessed from Meanley Drive just before entering the small roundabout. Parking Map and directions are here. | |

Calling all Local Artists!
Help the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library design our Odi button for this year's Where's Odi program. Odi the coyote is the San Diego Library mascot. YOUR button design could be chosen to represent the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library and made into buttons to give out to EVERY visitor who finds Odi hidden in our library in July.
To submit a design, simply print the image to the left on a 8.5 by 11 page and add your design to the empty circle. You can also pickup the contest instructions from the library. Digital art, pens or markers are recommended. Return your design to the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library front desk or email it to Melissa Barbour by May 15th.
