COMMUNITY PARTNERS EXPAND
THE LIBRARY’S REACH
Dr. Seuss Foundation and United Way help get books and
library cards to San Diego’s youngest learners.
With Dr. Seuss Foundation support, the San Diego Public Library is
partnering with the San Diego Uni昀椀ed School District to provide every
student in the district with an EXCEL Student Library Card by 2025. Students
with EXCEL cards can use library resources like books, homework help,
computers, and online tools. This exciting program reduces barriers
that prevent students and families from discovering the library as a free,
accessible, and critical resource for literacy and learning.
This spring, the library, Library Foundation SD, and United Way
partnered to expand student access to books and library
resources. As part of early March’s Read Across America Day
celebrations, the United Way distributed free books to local
students. Library sta昀昀 were on hand to promote library
services like Do Your Homework @ the Library and to
enroll students for the EXCEL card.
