Meet with Reference librarians from the San Diego Law Library on Thursday, April 18, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Adult Services Business Center.

Reference librarians from the San Diego Law Library will be on site on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Adult Services Business Center (next to the Information Desk) to guide you to resources to better understand and research common legal issues, assist with using the new legal databases, show you free legal websites, and make referrals to legal aid organizations.

Law Librarians cannot give you legal advice or perform legal research for you, but if you need to research a legal issue or are just curious about the law, they can guide you to resources and show you how to use them.

Embrace your self care and health with our free monthly meditation sessions! The next one is Wednesday, April 3, 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.!

Join this special session of Healthy You Series: Meditation and Mindfulness and experience the Alchemy Crystal Bowl Sound Bath for Healing and Restoration. Quantum physicists tell us that “everything in the universe is vibration and sound,” including us! We are vibrational beings and our bodies are made of mostly water, a wonderful conductor of vibration. Therefore, our bodies respond positively to the healing high frequencies of singing crystal bowls. It is an experience of relaxation and healing on a cellular level. All you must do is find a comfortable position to sit or lie down and let the bowls do their magic!
