The thoughtful renovation of this beautiful midcentury modern branch included a small addition, new accessible restrooms, seismic upgrades, technology enhancements, and new furnishings. The light-filled library now features a cozy reading lounge with a refurbished gas fireplace and a welcoming outdoor courtyard surrounded by flowers and plants. Originally built in 1961, the branch now offers expanded spaces for teens and children, along with a new staff work area. A more flexible interior layout accommodates a wide range of programs and events. Additional improvements include new furniture, shelving, and flooring; a comfortable newspaper and magazine area; more public computers; and expanded Wi-Fi access.
 

This renovation was made possible by Proposition A, the San Francisco Public Library Bond Program, approved by voters in 2000 to fund the renovation and seismic strengthening of the City’s branch libraries.
