Note: The Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center is currently CLOSED FOR RENOVATION and will remain closed for the remainder of 2026 and, likely, for part of 2027. While the Scripps Ranch Library is closed, all access to the library is prevented.

All San Diego Public Library branches, including the Central Library, are open Tuesday through Saturday. Some branches are open on Sundays and/or Mondays. Please visit the main website of the San Diego Public Library by (==> Clicking Here <==) for a schedule of operating hours for all branches.

Books may be returned to the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library anytime, day or night, any day of the week including holidays by depositing them in the outside book drop, which is located to the left of the main entrance near the staff entrance to the Library. Items returned in the book drop when the library is closed are credited to the previous business day (i.e., if a book is returned in the book drop after the library has closed on Tuesday night, when the staff checks it in on Wednesday morning they will set the computer's date back so that it will credit as having been returned on Tuesday).

The entrance to the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center is located in Scripps Ranch a few hundred feet west of the entrance to Miramar Lake on Scripps Lake Drive. Patrons arriving from outside the Scripps Ranch area are advised to take the Mira Mesa Boulevard exit (Exit 16) off I-15 east to Scripps Ranch Boulevard, turn right (south) onto Scripps Ranch Boulevard, then turn left (east) onto Scripps Lake Drive to reach the Library. Alternatively, patrons can take the Carroll Canyon Road exit (Exit 15) off I-15 east; continue straight from Carroll Canyon Road onto Scripps Ranch Boulevard (north), then turn right (east) onto Scripps Lake Drive to reach the Library Center.

Although parking is available at the Library Center, the parking lots may fill when concerts, community events, or special events are held. Patrons are cautioned not to park along red-curbed areas; the police will issue tickets. If the on-site parking lots are full, off-site parking is available along Red Cedar Drive, which is located to the east of the Library. Currently, due to construction of additional parking adjacent to the library building, off-site parking along Meanley Drive, which is located to the south of the Library, no longer provides access to the library. This restriction will continue from now until the summer/fall of 2025 when on-site parking lot expansion is expected to be completed. To reach the Red Cedar Drive off-site parking area from the Library, exit the Library parking lot by turning right onto Scripps Lake Drive, then right again at the traffic light onto Red Cedar Drive. Park along Red Cedar Drive in the vicinity of Miramar Ranch Elementary School. Return to the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center by taking the sidewalk which runs along the south side of Scripps Lake Drive.

The map below shows the locations of both the (now-inaccessible) Meanley Drive parking area and the Red Cedar Drive parking area with respect to the Library Center. The parking areas are shown in green. Walkways are shown in blue. (==> Click Here <==) for a printable version of the parking map.
