Explore Dana Point Public Library Kid Section for Beach Books

Dana Point Public Library has a modest kid section with new releases and separate area of picture books.

Family-friendly?

• Kids Section? Small separate kids section with reading table for kids books and a table with 4 chairs inside the picture book section.
• Audio Books? One small section of shelving for audio books.
• Easy Labels? My daughter loves fairy tale books and it's split into 2 sections in this library. There are laminated signs with illustrative symbols marking the shelves.
• Friends of the Library bookstore? Yes!
• Plenty of parking? Not so much during busy times. I've been there and found one right away - but I can also recall occasions where I've circled and circled before finding a spot.
• "Shushing" factor? This library is basically all one room with a separate kids section, so there's not much physical distance between kids and adults.
• Restroom location? As you walk into the library, they are to the left of the entrance. The doors open into the hallway - so be aware upon approach and open them slowly upon leaving.
• My favorite beach book for kids? I love Wave by Suzy Lee (link to Amazon.com) -- but they don't have it available for checkout at this library.
• Which library card do I use? This is an OCPL.org (Orange County Public Library) branch. You can check books out from here with your OCPL card and return them to any OCPL branch library.
