Sizing up at only 3,850 square feet, the Mission Hills branch library is among the smallest in the system. For this reason coupled with it's age (it's architectural design and feel is reminiscent of the 1970s), the library is actually set to be replaced by a new branch that will break ground within the next year or so. The new 15,000 square foot facility is design to accommodate patrons from both the Mission Hills and Hillcrest areas and will be built four blocks to the east of the current Mission Hills branch, straddling the border between the two communities it is set to serve. The new branch is expected to be completed by late 2017 or early 2018, according to a San Diego Union Tribune report made last year (linked below).
