The city expects to welcome homeless San Diegans to sleep in its old Central Library later this month.
Mayor Todd Gloria’s office said the city is preparing the long-vacant downtown library to accommodate 26 beds this winter and to get final approval from the fire marshal to shelter unhoused residents there.
“DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO — San Diego’s popular new downtown library will soon get the outdoor garden cafe it’s lacked since opening just over a year ago, city officials said.
The cafe, located on the ground floor of the nine-story library, will become another branch of the The Living Room coffee house chain.”
