The WiFi is not the fastest but it does the job...i believe lower levels have quicker and more reliable WiFi...the higher up you go...theres 6 floors...sure it's quiet, but the WiFi lags a little. I don't believe you can bring food inside but I do see coffee cups and water bottles. The views on the upper floors are beautiful...and there is a mini museum on the 6th floor.

Amazing and spacious library with lots of materials. It's more than a library, it's a museum as well. I could spend a whole day here! They have media available in many different languages. I was floored at the diversity of the selection compared to the library in my hometown. The areas are tidy and facilities are well maintained.

Very friendly and helpful librarians. Many resources including eBook, eLearning, SF historical photo collection, and more. You'll need a valid SF library card, which you get at the SF library for free.

SF public library is by far my favorite library I have ever visited. There are plenty of books (of all kinds!) and they quickly have the newest books available. The website system for holding and renewing books is also super good and make the process of renting books easy. The wifi is also very decent and you can use the library's computers. Printing is also available (for up to $2 of printing for free every day - pretty amazing!). Getting a card membership is quick. Staff is generally kind and helpful. You can just ask a question and they will help you or point you towards a person that will. And yes, there are homeless people inside but that's not a problem!! They are usually reading, resting, having a chill time on a safe space that is very different from what they live on the streets. I personally like to see them there, learning, reading and resting instead of making bad decisions. But in case anyone bothers you, there are plenty of security guards around. I personally never had a problem - just nice conversations with the homeless while there.

There is a driveway that goes under the building but I don't know its purpose.
Not sure. But you can ask the help desk over there. They are very helpful. Or call them.
Check at the Information Desk, the library offers many services, including help with writing resumes. Anyone who is a CA resident can get a library card and the card will allow you to log on to the public computers they have there and get free internet access.
Call the library & ask.

Yes there is or you can bring you own one too to use there there private places if you would like some private too
There is the second floor that is completely devoted for children of all ages.
Is there one?
Yes
You can do it online. You have to email them the info and they will renew it for 4 more years. Look on the website, there's a link.
You dont need a library card to come and hang out. There are certain areas you can come and read peacefully. Unfortunately there are some patrons that can be a little colorful so I would advise trying the 4th or 5th floors. Also there are many branches that have beautiful quiet spaces to read.
Many very helpful people, go and see
