We offer a variety of health and wellness programs, as a benefit to the East County community – and support community-based organizations wishing to utilize our spaces for their free programming.

Registration Rules: Priority varies for our library wellness programs, as they are provided as a benefit to people with an East County connection, those who live, work, attend school, or access health care services, within the boundaries of the Grossmont Healthcare District. Some of our programs and events are open to all interested participants. Please click on each event to read specific program details. Schedules are subject to change or move locations due to inclement weather and/or instructor/speaker absences. Any updates will be reflected below or on our social media pages. Otherwise, assume regular scheduling. Programs require a library card to register. Click here to sign up for a library card.

Attendance Rules: We suggest arriving a few minutes early. All library wellness programs are structured and will begin promptly at their listed time. We understand that occasionally a late arrival is unavoidable. However, in consideration of our instructors’ limited allotted time and program format, if you arrive more than 10 minutes late for a program, you will be asked not to join and will lose your reserved spot to another interested participant.

Parking Info: If our main parking lot fills up, there are additional spaces in unmarked spots in the lot behind the Brier Patch Campus or 2 hour metered street parking along Wakarusa Street. Click here for a map of where to park.
