Freedom to Read Day of Action

Join the Library Foundation SD and the San Diego Public Library on Saturday, October 19th, from 10 am to noon at the City Heights/​Weingart Library to celebrate the freedom to read. Participate in story time and youth activities, and hear why our city and civic leaders support the right to read!

This Freedom to Read Rally will be held in conjunction with the American Library Association (ALA) and its Unite Against Book Bans campaign, the Association for Rural and Small Libraries, and the Brooklyn, Queens, and New York Public Libraries. This will be a nationwide day of action to unite against book bans and demonstrate our shared commitment to this fundamental freedom.

This historic day of action will elevate the voices of readers nationwide who believe in public and school libraries as safe havens of knowledge and community and that the freedom to access books and information from diverse viewpoints is an essential American value that must be protected.
