Program Description

Event Details

Join us for the Pacific Beach Library's monthly book discussion!  Please either register to attend this program or send an email to cwainwright@sandiego.gov if you would like to virtually join our in-person discussion, via Zoom.  


Each year, in partnership with KPBS, the San Diego Public Library brings together our community and encourages residents to join others in the shared experience of reading the same book. This year's One Book, One San Diego selection is Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist, by Judith Heumann.

Being Heumann is a story of fighting to belong in a world that wasn’t built for all of us and of one woman’s activism—from the streets of Brooklyn and San Francisco to inside the halls of Washington—Being Heumann recounts Judy Heumann’s lifelong battle to achieve respect, acceptance, and inclusion in society. Candid, intimate, and irreverent, Judy Heumann’s memoir about resistance to exclusion invites readers to imagine and make real a world in which we all belong.

If you'd like to check out a print copy of the book, they are available 1 month before each discussion at the Pacific Beach Library's Circulation Desk.  Please call 858-581-9934 x0 before coming to pick it up so that staff may confirm availability.
