CONNECT with the CityRancho Bernardo Library
Through a grass-roots fundraising campaign, the Rancho Bernardo community advocated for a new library to replace the 1978 building, deemed too small to serve a rapidly growing population. Built with a combination of private donations, developer fees and state grant money, the current Rancho Bernardo Library opened in 1996. The building features high ceilings with plenty of windows, letting in natural light. A second-floor meeting room and ample parking make the library a popular spot for community meetings, concerts and musical performances.

IDEA (Digital Memory) Lab
The Digital Memory Lab is an innovative do-it-yourself space for digitizing various audio/visual media formats, as well as scanning documents, slides, and negatives. Patrons will have access to knowledgeable library staff and volunteers, as well as instructions and orientations that explain how to digitize materials. Our mission is to provide users with the tools needed to convert and analyze their digital projects so that they can ultimately proceed independently.
The Digital Memory Lab at the Rancho Bernardo Library offers three separate transfer stations, each offering different transfer formats. You can book a session by transfer format and appointment time. Please note that most transfers will happen in real-time.
