Youth Programming
Children’s books are literally “loved to death” at the library. Children frequently read the same favorite books over and over and pages become smudged and torn, covers dirtied and worn. The most popular titles, like Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Catapillar or Harry Potter are read again and again and need to be replaced regularly. You can make a contribution to buy a book for the Library and the impact of your gift will be doubled with a special matching fund. Visit here to buy a book.
The Center at the San Diego Public Library is a circulating library that promotes literacy and reading. The Center ensures broad access to high-quality books for children and adolescents in Spanish and in English about Latino people and culture.
From June to August, the branch library in your neighborhood holds special Summer Reading activities motivating kids and teens to discover recreational reading.
