Downtown San Luis Obispo Library Review for Kids

Posted by SanLuisObispoMom.com on Sunday, May 12, 2019 Under: For Kids

One of my favorite things to do when I'm in downtown is visit the public library. When visiting the San Luis Obispo Library in downtown San Luis Obispo, you would either have to park along the street or park in a parking structure so be ready pay for parking in downtown, even if you're just going to the library. Nowadays, you can use your credit or an app for street parking so that makes life a bit easier.

Unless you're within walking distance or using public transportation, you'll most likely have to pay to park. In downtown, there were metered parking spots along the streets but during the day, those are all usually taken.

The Downtown San Luis Obispo Library is much bigger than the Arroyo Grande one that we frequent. It's multi-level and the kid's section is on the second floor.

There are 2 main areas for the little ones: one near the restrooms with a computer, legos, and other toys and the other one is the reading side with a nice reading nook.

The little ones had fun playing with the toys there and learning to play educational games on the computers. It's a great place to bring the kids and do something for free. They have two weekly story times for kids here. Throughout the year, they also have free educational events for everyone. See the family-friendly events list to see the next event.

Address of Downtown San Luis Obispo Library: 995 Palm St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93403

Reading Suggestions:

See the free storytime schedule for all libraries in San Luis Obispo county, including Morro Bay Library, Cayucos Library and more.

See the blog post about our visits at Arroyo Grande Library. Many families go to the Arroyo Grande Library for special events that are exclusive like the Pokemon Party that my sons and I were able to experience during Spring Break. (You can read about the library's Pokemon Party under Day 5 of our Spring Break blog entry.)
