SF Western Addition Branch Library Reopens: (L-R) Sup. Ross Mirkarimi, State Assemblyman Mark Leno, State Sen. Carole Migden, Friends of the San Francisco Public Library Director Donna Bero, City Librarian Luis Herrera, and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom cut the ribbon Feb. 2 to the newly renovated Western Addition Branch Library.
The branch, located at 1550 Scott St., received a $4.3 million facelift, which included a new entry with automatic front doors, new teen area, improved main reading and children’s areas, a new state-of-the-art program room, and a beautifully landscaped outside courtyard.
The library is now seismically safe, fully accessible and technologically updated with new computers and free WiFi access to the Internet.
