SAN DIEGO — San Diego book lovers and their families can now enjoy the library seven days a week beginning this weekend.
The City of San Diego is extending in-person library services to include Sunday hours at 14 public library locations across San Diego starting on April 16.
The library branches will open starting at 1 p.m. through 5 p.m. on Sundays.
“The City is excited to restore these vital library services to residents,” said Chief Operating Officer Eric Dargan. “The success of the recent City career fair allowed the San Diego Public Library to fill the positions that make these Sunday hours possible. More than 200 people applied to work at the library, which is a testament to the great work that SDPL does every day.”
According to the City of San Diego, filling vacant library positions was a vital component in expanding library hours and bringing library service back to pre-pandemic levels.
“We know Sundays are popular with many of our patrons and families who can’t get to the library during the week,” said Library Director Misty Jones. ”Restoring Sundays hours helps the library deliver on what our patrons are asking for and allows our staff to expand the services and programs the library offers.”
