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.

City Heights/Weingart Library And Performance Annex
As part of the City Heights Initiative, a public/private partnership between the city and Price Charities, the two-story library building and neighboring park opened in November 1998. The City Heights/Weingart Branch Library serves one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in San Diego and is the busiest city library for public computer usage. Connected to the library is the Performance Annex, a black box theatre that offers a variety of dance and music performances, along with lessons for adults and children. The Performance Annex is the only theatre that the city owns and operates.
