University Heights Library
Starting Aug. 29, 2026 University Heights Library will be closed Mondays. To view the hours of operation by branch, please visit the SDPL Locations website.
As one of the oldest branch libraries in San Diego, the University Heights Library first opened in 1914 as a 20-foot by 30-foot wooden structure. In 1926, a permanent library was constructed, eventually replaced by the current two-story building, which opened in 1966. At just 3,749 square feet, the library is quaint and comfortable, with a mid-century modern design and floor-to-ceiling windows. The library is small but very active and relevant in this diverse community, featuring special collections of LGBT books and materials.
