Branch libraries are at the heart of every San Francisco neighborhood and Friends sponsors programs and events that help energize our twenty six branches. We also provide branch-specific grants to these libraries that fund unique, neighborhood-based projects.  

In addition, a library renaissance will soon be taking place across San Francisco. In November 2000 San Francisco voters passed Proposition A, the Branch Library Improvement Program, totaling $105.9 million. Combined with other state and local, public and private fund sources, this program will renovate nineteen branches, replace four leased facilities with City-owned branches, and construct a new branch in Mission Bay.
