The library sits in a park next to the Educational Cultural Complex, one of the campuses in the San Diego Community College District devoted solely to continuing education programs.
Bound by the 805 and 15 freeways to the East and West respectively, and by Imperial Avenue to the North and National Avenue to the South, the Mountain View neighborhood is one of the older and more urban parts of San Diego. It's located fairly close to downtown San Diego, only 2 miles from the Logan Heights library and 5 miles from the Central Library. The region is named after its views of the San Miguel Mountain, which is located in Chula Vista.
