As local families stock up on back-to-school supplies, the Library Foundation SD urged parents to pick up a free library card. With September recognized as Library Card Sign-up Month, the San Diego Public Library is highlighting its free educational programs, digital resources and homework support designed to help children build a strong foundation for the school year, according to a statement from the foundation. The library also hosts free year-round storytimes to help young children develop language and social skills. For school-aged students, the library offers the "Do Your Homework @ the Library" program, providing free access to academic coaches for students in kindergarten through eighth grade, along with computers and online research tools. The new designs feature collaborations with San Diego Wave FC, San Diego Pride and Comic-Con.
