Library adds Hoopla to expanding digital collection
Coronado Public Library cardholders now have access to Hoopla, a digital service offering more than two million eBooks, audiobooks, movies, music, comics, and more, thanks to support from the Friends of the Coronado Public Library. The new platform joins the Library’s existing digital resources, including Libby, CloudLibrary, Kanopy, and Biblio+, giving patrons even more ways to borrow books and stream entertainment from home or on the go.
The addition follows several recent upgrades to the Library’s online services, including a redesigned mobile app and an updated catalog that integrates physical and digital collections into a single search. Library cardholders can access Hoopla through the Library’s catalog or the Hoopla app. Those who don’t yet have a library card are encouraged to stop by the Library to sign up.

Public review begins for Harbor Island redevelopment, Topgolf project
The Port of San Diego has released the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed East Harbor Island Redevelopment project, which includes plans for a Topgolf entertainment venue, a new 10-acre public waterfront park, a waterfront promenade, additional dining and entertainment concepts, and related infrastructure improvements. The project site is on East Harbor Island, across from San Diego International Airport. The Draft EIR is available for public review online and at designated locations through 5 p.m. on Aug. 24, when the public comment period closes. The release of the Draft EIR does not mean the project has been approved. The Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners is expected to consider the Final EIR and related project approvals later this year.
The Draft EIR and instructions for submitting comments are available on the Port of San Diego’s website.
Coronado property values top $14 billion on 2026 tax roll
Coronado’s total assessed property value reached a record $14.47 billion on the 2026 San Diego County tax roll, a 6.07% increase from last year, according to the San Diego County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk’s Office. Countywide, the assessed value of taxable property reached a record $845 billion, up 4.86% from 2025. The higher assessed values are expected to generate about $8.1 billion in property tax revenue to support local governments, schools, fire districts, water agencies, and other public services. Proposition 13 continues to limit annual assessed value increases for most existing property owners to no more than 2%, with larger increases generally occurring only when properties change ownership or undergo new construction.
