Less than one week and the history of the San Diego Public
Library will change forever. Less than one week left to visit and use the old
Central Library at 820 E Street.
This building holds so many memories for community members,
like me. I have seen changes in the Central Library. When I used this library
to study many years ago as a high school student, there were tables and chairs
where the Literature shelves are located now. Recently, I was thrilled to
discover that some of the those chairs, perhaps now as old as 50 years, will
have a new look and a new life in the new Central Library.
If you have time, come by the Library on Friday around 1
p.m. on Friday, June 7. We would love to hear your stories about the Central
Library. (See more detail about our celebration.)

| Some of the green back chairs from old Central Library were refurbished and will be used in the new Central Library. |
Sunday, June 9 will be the last day of service at the 820 E
Street location for the Central Library. (See more detail about the closure.) Then we close the doors for library
services here for good as we prepare for the next chapter of San Diego Public
Library’s history.
