Central Library Concert Series, Fall 2009

New Day! The Concert Series has moved to Saturday.

The Central Library is pleased to announce the schedule for the Fall season of its annual concert series. The series is made possible by the Friends of Central Library, the San Diego Public Library matching fund program, and public and private donations. The concerts are very important to the musicians in the series because they provide a venue for them to perform locally. The community has responded enthusiastically as well, as shown by steadily growing attendance by musicians, music lovers, music appreciation students and San Diego residents. During the 2008-2009 series alone, about 1,200 people attended the concert series.

• Where: Central Library, downtown - 820 E Street, third floor auditorium
• When: New Day! All concerts are held on Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. and they last about one hour.
• Cost: Programs are free and open to the public.
• Parking: The 5 Star Parking lot, which is adjacent to the Library at the southeast corner of Broadway and Eighth Avenue, is available to those attending concerts on Saturdays. Enter the lot from Eighth Avenue. The Library thanks 5 Star Parking for making the free parking available.

  Additionally, parking meters are not enforced on Sundays and after 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays.
