In Fiscal Year 2014, the San Diego Public Library system had 6.8 million items loaned, 2.1 million Internet signups, 4.3 million online database searches conducted, and 6.1 million visitors. More than 182,010 adults and more than 267,078 juveniles attended programs, and there were more than 10 million virtual visits through the Library website. The Fiscal Year 2015 budget, which was proposed by Mayor Faulconer and adopted by City Council, funds an additional 203 hours of library service hours per week citywide, restores core branch library hours to 48 hours per week for the first time since 2003, and strategically expands library services on weekends. The Library is aggressively filling positions to staff restored service hours to better serve the multiple needs of the community and provide more access to the City's cultural resources that enrich people's lives. READ/San Diego In San Diego County, approximately 450,000 adults cannot read or write well enough to cope with daily and work- related challenges. READ/San Diego Adult Literacy Program, which serves as a model for the country, is transforming the lives of adult learners by giving them the skills and love of reading that will serve them for a lifetime. In Fiscal Year 2014, the Program had 345 volunteers serving 435 adult learners, 111 families with 192 children, and 179 students in the Diamond Excellence in Education Partnership (DEEP) Summer Readers Future Leaders program at Chollas Meade Elementary. READ also delivered 1,921 books to Families for Literacy (FFL) families, and 1,151 books at outreach events and story times in the Logan Heights, Valencia Park, City Heights, and Serra Mesa communities. READ also gave 479 books to participants in the DEEP Summer Readers Future Leaders program. One of the highlights of the year was the READ/San Diego’s 26th Annual Recognition Dinner and Awards event. A total of 325 guests celebrated the accomplishments of the learners and the generosity of the volunteers. Adult Programming For the last seven years, the Library has partnered with KPBS on One Book, One San Diego, which encourages residents to join others in the shared experience of reading the same book. The program encourages participation in - 319 - City of San Diego Fiscal Year 2015 Adopted Budget Library related events, discussions of the ideas raised by One Book, One San Diego, and examination of how these ideas connect with the participants’ daily lives. In 2013, the One Book, One San Diego selection was Caleb’s Crossing by Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Geraldine Brooks. Set in 1660s Martha’s Vineyard, Caleb’s Crossing depicts the encounter of two very different cultures and is the true story of the first American Indian to graduate from Harvard University. One Book–related programs included two author events with a total attendance of 825. Over 2,500 people attended 24 other related programs, lectures, and exhibits. Three special exhibits at the Central Library, which explored themes of women’s life and indigenous cultures covered in Caleb’s Crossing, were viewed by over 60,000 people. The 2014 One Book selection is Monstress: Short Stories by San Diego native Lysley Tenorio. This book was selected from more than 800 nominations submitted by San Diego County residents, representing 350 different titles. Monstress will kick off in early October 2014 with a series of headlining events featuring the author. The 48th year of the Local Authors Exhibit produced the largest turnout ever for the fifth consecutive year with over 375 local authors and co-authors furnishing over 400 book titles, including 60 in e-book format published in 2013 and reflecting the diversity of San Diego’s population and equally diverse scope of interest. The Exhibit’s online component featured more than 200 participants and offers additional information about the authors and their works. The subjects range from biography, business, fiction, poetry, immigrant stories, and San Diego history. The Central Library and several branch libraries are hosting numerous book talks featuring participating local authors who shared their work with larger audiences of readers. The call for submissions for the 49th Annual Local Author Exhibit for books published in 2014 by local authors will be made in the fall of 2014. There were four other high-profile exhibits. A Moral Earthquake tells the story of the San Diego women who worked to get California women the right to vote in 1911. A Voyage to Health explores the recent revival of the ancient arts of navigation and voyaging that first brought the people of Hawaii to their island homes. Literature of Prescription: Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the ‘Yellow Wall-Paper’ highlights the story behind artist and writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s indictment in the 1890s of the medical profession and the social conventions restricting women’s professional and creative opportunities. A National Public Works Week (NPWW) exhibit recognized and applauded the contribution of public works professionals who are dedicated to improving the City’s quality of life: planning, building, managing, operating, and maintaining San Diego communities. Children’s Programming and Grants The Library’s popular Summer Reading Program, now in its 91st year, has encouraged more than one million children and teens to discover and cultivate reading as a recreational activity. The theme for the 2013 Summer Reading Program was “Reading is So Delicious!” and the results mirrored that theme.

A Closer Look at the Japanese American National Museum Abstract Los Angeles has prided itself as a city living on the edge, always setting the trend for the rest of America. Indeed, it became a magnet for many Americans fleeing Midwestern farms, southern plantations, Indian reservations, and east coast cities searching for a new life. Perhaps more than any other metropolis, L.A. is a city of neighborhoods defined by foreign immigration. One such neighborhood, Little Tokyo, has become the center of an effort to preserve the story of Japanese Americans. Comments Reprinted from OAH Newsletter, Volume 29, Issue 1, 2001, 4 pages.

  • Like the Ancients: the Art of Donal Hord
    The Journal of San Diego History SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Summer 1985, Volume 31, Number 3 Thomas Scharf, Managing Editor Like the Ancients: The Art of Donal Hord By Bruce Kamerling 1999 Hord Exhibit ~ Outdoor works ~ Complete works ~ Chronology Donal Hord's first view of San Diego, from the deck of the steamship Congress, brought tears to his eyes. Unfortunately, these were not tears of joy. The previous winter in Seattle, the fourteen- year-old youth had been stricken by rheumatic fever, which left him with a permanently damaged heart. Knowing he would not survive another harsh northern winter, his doctors recommended moving to a warmer climate. When his mother asked him where he would like to live, he chose San Diego because it was close to Mexico. In his fertile imagination, he pictured the pyramids of the Aztecs and the temples of the Maya. Needless to say, San Diego in 1916 could not compare with the lush greenery of Seattle or the mysterious jungles of Mexico. It wasn't long, however, before Hord came to love the region, and the arid southwest became the inspiration for many of his sculptures. He was the product of an unhappy marriage; the future artist's parents divorced when he was still a child, his mother taking him eventually to Seattle. At an early age, he developed an interest in ancient cultures, particularly those of the Orient and the Americas. Being an invalid for much of his youth, he was not able to attend regular school. Instead, he spent time at the library, educating himself in a wide variety of subjects including history, literature, music and art.
