As per the city and county of San Francisco Branch Library Improvement Program:
“As part of the bond measure overwhelmingly passed in November 2000, the Library plans to make the building accessible and reduce the seismic risk, while preserving the historic character of the existing building. Plans include a designated Teen Area, an elevator and staircase added, new restrooms, and the Children’s Area will be moved downstairs and expanded.
The branch is scheduled to close for construction in spring 2007 and reopen in 2009. During the renovation, library services will be provided by increasing hours at nearby branches, holding programs at neighborhood schools and community centers, and by bookmobile service. Closing may be delayed due to design issues, complications arising from the bidding, contracting or permit process, or other matters.”
