The Coronado Library was founded in 1890. The original library was built as a classical building that architect Harrison Albright designed in 1909. The building still stands at 640 Orange Avenue located in the heart of the Coronado community. This original building serves as the Spreckels Reading Room within the 40,000 square feet remodeled and expanded library building. The library includes study space at tables and carrels, lounge seating, wireless Internet access, a large public meeting room, conference room, study rooms, separate Children's Library and Teen area, public-access computers, and collections in various subjects and formats. The library also has several large exhibit spaces where we display curated art from the local Coronado and San Diego community and museum-like curated cultural exhibits. This summer, the library will host "Alice: Illustrating Wonderland," a special exhibit celebrating 160 years of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In honor of this milestone, we invite artists of all ages to reimagine the whimsy and wonder of Lewis Carroll’s timeless tale. Choose a character or scene that inspires you—from the Mad Hatter’s tea party to Alice’s encounter with the Queen of Hearts—and craft your own two-dimensional masterpiece. Winners will receive prizes, and at least 10 pieces from each age category will be featured in the exhibit alongside 160 beautifully illustrated editions of the book. Don’t miss this chance to showcase your creativity and become part of Wonderland’s artistic legacy! Coronado Public Library on Facebook / Instagram

Chilean families are having only one child on average. U.S. birthrates are also dropping but it's unclear whether the U.S. will follow into the growing group of "very low" birthrate countries.

LOS/NR cordially invites you to our next Opening Reception for "Framing Identity" highlighting the interplay between the intimate and the universal exploration of what defines us through the vision of four women artists—collaborative artists Katie Hargrave and Meredith Laura Lynn, photographer Hannah Altman and painter Jennifer Ruth Evans. The question of where self comes from has intrigued us for generations and theories have been established from Jung’s archetypes to Freud’s id, ego and superego to explain who we are and how self develops. The artists in this exhibition use the visual medium to explore personal, cultural and societal constructs of self. Their work unfolds as storytelling that investigates identity to spark a dialogue and foster deeper understanding of ourselves and our meaning. This is our Guest Curator Show running from March 8 to April 12, 2025, organized by Caleb Cain Marcus (MFA Columbia University.) Marcus has judged and participated as a reviewer for the Arnold New Prize, Critical Mass, Medium, LACP, NEPR and Review Santa Fe. He exhibited at the Ross Museum, the National Academy of Sciences in DC, Telluride Gallery of Fine Art, the Houston Center for Photography, Tufts Art Gallery, and Palm Beach Photo Center. His work is the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Getty Museum, the High Museum of Art, Norton Museum of Art, and Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and has been published widely including PDN, American Photo, Conde Nast Traveler, National Geographic, Orion and Audubon, Feature Shoot, Musee, Fraction, F-stop, Slate, Lens Culture, Smithsonian, My Modern Met and Hyperallergic. He is the author of "A Portrait of Ice" (2012), "A brief movement after death" (2018) and "Iterations" (2019). The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday Noon pm to 4 p.m.

SDSU's 53rd Annual Pow Pow will be held on April 12, 2025. The San Diego State University Pow Wow is a cultural and social event held annually to bring together the Native American community at SDSU. SDSU has the reputation of having one of the longest-running pow-wows run by a university in California. This event is open to the public and is a partnership between the Native Resource Center, the SDSU American Indian Studies Department, the Native American Student Alliance, and the American Indian Alumni Chapter of SDSU. Saturday, April 12, 2025 at SDSU Main Campus - REC Field 103 11 a.m. - Gourd Dance - Open Session Noon - Grand Entry 1 - 6 p.m. - Dance Exhibitions & Honorings 6 p.m. - Bird Singing 8 p.m. - Approximate End The pow wow includes dance contests, cultural displays, arts and craft booths, food vendors, and various informational booths. There will be a Master of Ceremonies and Arena Director who help run the event. The MC works with the Arena Director to keep the pow wow program organized and running smoothly. The SDSU pow wow kicks off with Kumeyaay Bird singers followed by the Gourd Dance and Grandy Entry which signals the official start of the festivities. Kumeyaay Bird Songs have been passed down through generations and are used in times of celebration or grief, to sing, dance, and share culture in the company of friends.Bird Songs are used in the place of a written history and record an oral history and way of life for Kumeyaay people. Through the use of animal metaphors and allegory, the songs are used to instruct and imprint collective teachings about practical things such as food, the environment and geography, as well as history, customs, and social/moral values. The Gourd Dance is a Kiowa Tribe ceremonial dance that honors warriors or veterans. Many of those that dance this style are veterans and the idea is to honor all warriors alive or fallen for their service. Most notable of the gourd dance is the use of either a gourd rattle or metallic salt shaker rattle and a red and blue wool blanket draped over the shoulders. Grand Entry is the official start of the pow wow and all dancers enter the arena. During the grand entry, the color guard brings in the Eagle Staff which is a symbol of American Indian Nations, the U.S flag, state and veterans flags are also represented. This is also a time when we introduce our honored Head Staff and other important guests.
