The Glen Park Branch Library originally opened in January 1927 at 700 Bosworth Street, serving the community for nearly 38 years. The original building was demolished during the construction of Interstate 280, and for the next 42 years, the branch operated out of various temporary locations.
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.
