Help Out: Neighborhood Library Campaign
Friends in Neighborhoods
Throughout San Francisco, we are building better libraries for stronger communities. As part of the largest building campaign in history of the San Francisco Public Library, 16 branches will be renovated, four will move from small, leased spaces to larger, city-owned buildings, three branches will be replaced with new buildings and one brand-new branch was constructed in Mission Bay (opened in July 2006).
While the Proposition A bond measure that passed overwhelmingly in 2000 will fund the building and renovation of these branches through the Branch Library Improvement Program (BLIP), the bond does not provide funding for furnishings and fixtures. Friends of the San Francisco Public Library’s Neighborhood Library Campaign (NLC) will fill this void by raising $16 million to equip and furnish these twenty-four branches.
