Learn about the impact of your support and the Library Foundation SD’s exciting plans for the coming year with a moderated discussion between leaders of all five library systems participating in Books Unbanned..  It also wouldn’t be a proper celebration without your celebratory drink of choice.

Odi’s Library Day – A Children’s book, is now available 

Did you know the San Diego Public Library has written and published its own children’s book? Written by Hunter Hackett and illustrated by SDPL’s own Anisi Baigude, a Library Assistant at the North Clairemont Branch, Odi’s Library Day is a bilingual board book for young readers to build a lifelong connection to libraries and books. In the story, ODI (Opportunity, Discovery, Inspiration) the Coyote visits the Central Library for the first time with their parent for a series of literary adventures.  During Odi’s visit they receive their first library card, attend a story time where they learn all about kites, discover the Innovation Lab and create their own kite, and finally, Odi is seen flying their kite with their story time friends with the iconic Coronado bridge in the background.  Copies are available for sale at the Library’s Library Shop.  Please visit libraryshopsd.org/odi  All proceeds support the San Diego Public Library.  You may also borrow the book from your branch library.

 The Library Shop is not just a well-curated gift and book shop. 

The Library Shop is a non-profit book & gift store located in the courtyard of the Downtown Central Library sponsored by the FSDPL and the SDPL  Foundation.  As the plans for Downtown Central Library were being developed, space was set aside for a Library Gift/Book Shop to be located on site. It features a wide selection of well-curated books, gifts, cards, jewelry, and more. Shop online. BROUSE OUR INVENTORY.  Proceeds support all 36 San Diego Public Libraries.  Life-members of the Friends of the Library receive 10% off all purchases.  Shop online.  The Library Shop also sponsors monthly special events for youth and adults.
