Update on the Book Stores and Donation Centers 

Many of you have asked when the Friends’ Books Stores and the Donation Center will reopen. We are working on a plan to reopen at the appropriate time. While we appreciate the move toward the reopening of limited retail operations locally, the Donation Center and the Fort Mason and Main Library bookstores are not planning to reopen on May 18th and remain closed until further notice. We will announce on our website and in social media when are reopening, so stay tuned! 

​Friends is the key partner that has given us our award-winning Library. We are the national model of a socially invested library, priding ourselves on being the most democratic of institutions. If you go to any of our neighborhood libraries, you will see a sign prominently displayed that says, “All Are Welcome.” Friends’ support helps make that possible. Our partnership is vital to providing a world-class library for the entire community of San Franciscans.

That’s why I give to Friends.”
Michael Lambert, City Librarian
