As part of the bond measure overwhelmingly passed by the voters in November 2000, the San Francisco Public Library is renovating the Parkside Branch Library. We plan to make it seismically safe, fully accessible and technologically updated, while enhancing its unique character.

 Rendering of the Parkside Branch Library by Thomas Hacker Architects (3/08) Renovation highlights include a small addition, new accessible restrooms, improved public and staff spaces, a designated Teen Area near the courtyard, more computers, better lighting, and new & refinished furniture, shelving, and materials displays. The branch is scheduled to close for construction in early 2009 and will re-open in 2010. During the renovation, library services will be provided by holding programs at neighborhood schools and community centers and by bookmobile service. Closing may be delayed due to design issues, complications arising from the bidding, contracting or permit process, or other matters. The Friends of the San Francisco Public Library are raising funds from private donations for new furniture, fixtures, and equipment for the branch library. For information on the Parkside Branch Library neighborhood campaign, contact marian.ctaylor@friendssfpl.org. Send comments or questions about this page to blip@sfpl.org. For more information on the condition of the branch before construction, please see the Parkside Branch Facilities Survey. |
