Great staff and quick processing of my application. I was able to complete thr application and check out a book on the same visit. Beautiful building and awesome children's book section.

Beautiful, clean, and noisy. Great place to do work on a laptop if you bring headphones - kids screaching and adults talking echo through the building. No one reminds people to "sush" but the librarians are helpful and sweet otherwise. Big windows and high ceilings make this smaller library feel spacious. It would be a 5-star reading and working space, hands down, if not for the constant noise.

I've been coming to this library since moving to San Francisco in2009. It is great for grandparents with both young children and as they grow. One of our grandkids took her 1st steps in the Wednesday baby group. Now our 6 and 9 year olds enjoy the inside and play ground.

This library does not feel like a library at all, but in a good way! It is a bit smaller than other libraries but it has this cozy welcoming vibe right when you walk in.The building and architecture here is beautiful. People generally use their "indoor" voice here so it makes for a great place to study or just to sit and catch up with your local newspaper.

From the library website: https://sfpl.libanswers.com/faq/121297 Placing a hold on a title is how you can have an item sent from one SFPL branch to one closer to you, and/or reserve your spot in line for a copy when all the copies of a title are currently checked out by other patrons. To place a hold on an item in the catalog, here are the steps: 1. From www.sfpl.org, click on the LOG IN link on the very top right side of the screen. 2. You will be taken to a log in screen. Please enter your library card number and PIN/password. ​If you cannot remember your PIN/password, please reset it via this link: http://sfpl.libanswers.com/faq/136104 3. Once you are successfully logged in, search for the item you are looking for in the main Search Box on the top, right side of your screen, and hit ENTER on your keyboard, or click the SEARCH button. 4. Once you have found the item you are looking for click on the little green box on the right side of the title that says PLACE A HOLD. 5.

Is there an out door book drop box for returns?

Yes. The outdoor drop is to the right of the front door up the ramp.

Why am I being charged a late fee when my Bernal Heights Branch is closed, so I have been unable to return the book ? I can't get to the main library. That is the only reason I haven't returned the book.

You know either drop it in the return box tomorrow, or wait until 06-15-21 and drop it then , and you can call the Library and talk about any extra charges, I hope that was helpful.
