Books are back in the old library building
The new shop lives in the former Mission Hills Library branch, which feels like a fitting full-circle moment. Inside, we’ll find new fiction and nonfiction for all ages, plus a thoughtful mix of displays that reflect the neighborhood and broader San Diego community.
There’s a section dedicated to books by local authors and titles about San Diego and Southern California culture. They’ve also carved out space for LGBTQ+ authors and stories – a nod to the shop’s proximity to Hillcrest – along with a collection of banned books, reflecting the Library Foundation SD’s stance against censorship.
