Library Foundation SD Monday opened its second bookstore, bringing an independent neighborhood shop to Mission Hills in the area’s former library location.

The store, at the corner of West Washington and Hawk streets, will feature a selection of new books as well as gifts for book lovers.

The Library Shop is excited to join the Mission Hills business community. We are proud to be part of the resurgence of independent bookstores in San Diego and around the U.S.,” said Patrick Stewart, CEO of Library Foundation SD.

Library Shop Mission Hills will be another way for all San Diegans to show their love and public support for libraries. We are a local, neighborhood bookshop that contributes to the community but also to all 37 library locations in San Diego.”
