Branch Library Improvement Bond (BLIP) Program Trundles Along
Jul 14, 2008
The branch renovations are happening all over San Francisco, but in the past year two branch openings and three branch closings are the most likely to impact people in the Mission. The openings include a new branch at 2825 Diamond Street for Glen Park (about half-block from the Glen Park BART station) and the seismically upgraded, totally spiffed up, but historically preserved Noe Valley Branch at 451 Castro Street.
