The long-awaited move was made possible by a recent hiring spree to fill vacant positions.
A recent hiring spree will allow the long-awaited return of Sunday hours at many San Diego library branches this weekend, the final step toward fully restoring city library hours to pre-pandemic levels after three years of scaled-back service.
Library hours have been on the chopping block several times in recent years, including Gloria’s proposal two years ago to cut them by 23 percent citywide by eliminating all Sunday and Monday service.Starting this Sunday, there will be five hours of service at 14 of the city’s 36 branches — the same number of hours and branches that had Sunday service before the pandemic.
Downtown San Diego library could get more security guards, naloxone in effort to curb overdoses, suicide attempts Restoring Sunday hours became possible when Jones was able to quickly fill 44 entry-level library assistant jobs with some of the 209 people who submitted applications at the city’s first career fair March 22 in Balboa Park.
