This is the first of three public meetings where we provide an update on the Chinatown Branch Renovation Project. At this meeting, we share preliminary designs for the Branch renovation and gather public feedback. We also answer your questions about the project and our plans to provide interim service during the renovation. We want to hear from you!  

If you cannot attend this meeting, we are holding two additional meetings:  

MEETING 2: Thursday, May 12, 6 p.m. – Register for the Virtual meeting via zoom. 

MEETING 3: Saturday, May 14, 11 a.m. – Chinatown Branch Community Room, 1135 Powell Street

Simultaneous Mandarin and Cantonese interpretation is available at all meetings, but, please note, Zoom does not support closed captioning for the interpretation. Closed captioning is only available in English. Additionally, the simultaneous Chinese interpretation can only be accessed in video audio, not via telephone audio. Questions about the program or problems registering? Contact chiefofbranches@sfpl.org.   

For accommodations (such as ASL interpretation), call (415) 557-4400 or email accessibility@sfpl.org. Please include your name and phone number in your email. Requesting at least 72 hours in advance will help ensure availability.
