The City of Chula Vista recently opened an expansive new deck at its Civic Center Library that overlooks the adjacent Friendship Park. Located on the north side of the library, the 5,000 square foot deck allows visitors a new entrance to the library and easy access to the park. Plans for the deck include events, recreational classes such as Yoga, Aerobics or Mommy and Me fitness activities, art classes, Movies on the Deck, and more.
In addition, beginning July 1, the deck will be available to rent for private events; fees are $75 per hour with a two-hour minimum for Chula Vista residents and $150 per hour with a two-hour minimum for non-residents. The deck can accommodate up to 330 people and features beautiful shade sails.

Through a returning partnership with the California Summer Meals Coalition, several San Diego County school districts and city library branches are serving free healthy lunches during the summer for children 18 years old and under.
During the 2016-2017 academic year, over 10,000 students K-12 in San Diego County met the eligibility criteria for free meals based on household income, homelessness, foster placement and more, according to data by the California Department of Education.
For many students who fall into those categories, school lunches are essential to maintain proper nutrition, but when school is not in session, some no longer have those resources.
As ICU capacities continue to dip, coronavirus positive cases within the local Latino community stay high. Leaders within the Latino community are now pleading with people to stay home during the holidays.
Ruben Olmos put a similar sign next to the driveway to his International Transmission after watching a woman next door get blocked by the line for COVID-19 testing.
“She couldn’t get out for 20 minutes because they completely blocked the entrance to the mobile home park,” said Olmos, who is located on the other side of the city block from the library’s testing site.
The line for a free #Covid 19 test in @thinkchulavista wraps around an entire city block and sometimes blocks entrances to buildings and roads. There IS a solution coming. @nbcsandiego at 4:30 and 6:00. pic.twitter.com/IFwSOhnHSn Joe Little (@LittleJoeTV) December 18, 2020
