Dave Tooley, President of the San Diego Civil War Round Table, will speak on “Civil War Railroads.” When the shooting began in 1861, the Union had a head start with most of the country’s railroad trackage and the advantage of standardized gauge. Further, those in charge of the United States Military Railroad were railroaders who knew what was needed, while the Confederate Military Railroad had a much more difficult time of it.

Mission Valley Branch Library
The Mission Valley Branch Library is one of the thirty-five branches of the San Diego Public Library system. The 19,760 sq. ft. facility was opened July 20, 2002. The Library received an Orchid Award from the San Diego Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for "Best Institutional Design" and "Best Divine Details" for the lighted tree columns/sculptures throughout the facility. The Library includes a large community meeting room, seminar rooms, a children's library, an outdoor patio with a children's garden which has a flowing river sculpture, a computer lab and a mezzanine and terrace. Its excellent collection of books and media, central location, and close proximity to retailers and a trolley stop have made it a popular Library destination for many San Diegans.
