Hot Topics Archives

"Hot Topics" are short guides developed by the San Diego Public Library to cover events and issues that have recently received significant attention in the news (both local and national). The Library's aim is to provide patrons with listings of books, magazine articles, and web sites that will help them learn more about each topic. New "Hot Topics" are posted periodically.
