The Library Foundation SD supports the library’s work to help San Diegans learn new skills, pursue lifelong ambitions, and achieve a better life. A recent New York Times photo essay highlighted the importance of that work.
“It’s easy to romanticize libraries. But, the fact is, they’re not ‘just’ about the written word. Were they ever? As local safety nets shriveled, the library roof magically expanded from umbrella to tarp to circus tent to airplane hangar,” the Times writes. “The modern library keeps its citizens warm, safe, healthy, entertained, educated, hydrated and, above all, connected.”
