The Main Library in SF recently unveiled a new renovation. Yey! More books, more technology (including a nifty self-return machine that sorts books into carts and can be viewed by patrons - I imagine it to being the library version of a Charlie and the Chocoloate Factory behind-the-scenes splendid machine), more computers for internet use, and an easier to navigate layout.
A happy story for the day! Taxpayers voted for money to go somewhere, it went there, and accomplished its goal. One success, ten million more to go.
I checked out the Alameda Library yesterday, relatively new as it opened in Nov 2006. Just need proof of CA residency to get a card. It was pretty cool but felt like a research or university library, not one for the public. Not many displays or easy to find fiction section. But the VHS/DVD's available were pretty big. Nice couches by windows. It didn't seem to have a parking lot which I thought was odd. Just some street parking spots designated 2 hr for the library use.
