Abstract
As the United States was gearing up for war in 1940, San Diego,
California, was one of the cities most affected by the increase in both
military personnel and civilian defense workers. Confronted with a
rapidly increasing population and a growing demand for information
to support the aircraft and shipbuilding industries, the staff of the
San Diego Public Library exemplified the important role that libraries
played in educating citizens, building morale, and maintaining a
sense of normalcy in a very uncertain world.
