San Diego Central Library (Civic Center/Downtown)

The San Diego Central Library at 330 Park Blvd opened in 2013 as the main branch of the San Diego Public Library system, replacing the previous downtown library. The nine-story contemporary building includes public amenities such as a rooftop garden and a large central atrium, and it houses the city's central collections and administrative offices. The library's modern design and public programs have made it a downtown civic landmark since its opening. It serves as a major cultural and educational anchor in the East Village/Civic Center area.
