The construction of the Ingleside Branch is part of the Branch Library Improvement Program, which called for replacing branches currently housed in leased storefronts with City-owned buildings. The program is funded by a $106 million bond measure approved by voters in 2000. The new Ingleside library project budget is $6.9 million with $3.7 million coming from the California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act of 2000, administered through the California State Library. A separate fundraising campaign by Friends of the San Francisco Public Library will provide new furniture and equipment for the new branch. The new branch will be housed in a modern building with a new program room and defined children's and teen areas. The 6,100-square-foot facility will be able to accommodate a growing collection of books, DVDs and books on tape. It will also have more public computers, free WiFi access to the Internet and provide a variety of seating choices. Located on a prominent corner, the new branch will be an anchor for the revitalization of Ocean Avenue. Please RSVP to (415) 557-4277 Building better libraries for stronger communities. |
