The library’s programming includes storytimes for children, book discussions, author talks and take-home craft kits.
“The San Diego Public Library is proud to celebrate Black History Month and to provide yet another way to connect with our residents who may be isolated at home due to the pandemic,” said Misty Jones, library director. “We hope the library programs will encourage patrons to learn more about the achievements of Black Americans and the contributions they have made throughout our country’s history.”
As part of the celebration, the San Diego Public Library will release a Black History Month library card. The special edition card was designed by 15-year-old Scripps Ranch High School student Sahithi Lingampalli and was chosen from dozens submitted by local students. It features the likenesses of congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis, basketball legend Kobe Bryant, Vice President Kamala Harris and tennis great Serena Williams.

Cool down at San Diego Central Library. The a/c is superb at most local libraries thanks to their designation as Cool Zones. Try North Clairemont Library, El Cajon Library, Casa de Oro Library or Santee Library.Â
