Marina Library |
One of my favorite places to spend a quiet afternoon is the Marina Library. Located next to Locke-Paddon Park, the Marina Library has a collection of fiction and non-fiction, comfortable chairs and tables for reading and study, a children’s room, and Internet-connected computers available for use by library card holders. There’s also a small outdoor playground area so children can have some physical activity before or after quiet time in the library. Since it’s part of a larger library system, you can search the online catalog and request any book or media item shown.
The Marina Branch Library, which is part of the Monterey County Free Libraries had the grand opening in its current facility on September 29, 2007. Prior to that, the library had to make do with a storefront space in the Seacrest Plaza shopping center. The current library owes its existence, in part, to a community organization known as The Friends of the Marina Library.
