Chinatown Library Gets Major Renovation | San Francisco News
Description
San Francisco’s historic Him Mark Lai Branch Library is shutting down for 2.5 years to undergo a massive $47.8 million renovation — restoring its grand reading room, adding a 100-person community space and gallery celebrating Chinese and Asian American history, plus a rooftop terrace, teen zone, expanded children’s area, better accessibility, and even an air-respite site. All holds will be relocated just two blocks away during construction, where you can still borrow books, use tech, and print. Funded by the Library Preservation Fund and supported by a $2M fundraising campaign (already at $800K), this upgrade ensures the library remains a vital community hub for generations to come.
