Renovations, Reading and Events
By Sharon Dezurick Mar 18, 2008
On Wed., Feb. 27, Luis Rodriguez author of “La Vida Loca: gang days in L. A.,” appeared at a free program at Mission Branch (all library programs are free). Although promoted as a teen program, ninety plus tweens, teens and adults showed up to hear Mr. Rodriguez read poetry, talk about his gang life and writing life, answer questions, and be available to the appreciative audience. As part of the program the library gave away 25 copies of “La Vida Loca,” which he graciously signed. The biggest problem was the space was cramped for the size of the audience.

 Renovations: They're Happening!
Nov 02, 2007
San Francisco libraries are undergoing a renaissance. While the Mission Branch Library was renovated and seismically upgraded back in 1997, other nearby libraries are only recently undergoing significant improvements. In November 2000, San Francisco voters overwhelmingly passed a bond measure for $106 million to upgrade San Francisco’s branch library system. The priorities were to reduce seismic risk, meet modern technological needs and current code requirements, bring branches in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and to provide buildings responsive to current services, yet flexible enough to meet future needs.
