Reviews
Great space, convenient access. I really appreciate having a library nearby.
A long time ago in a city far far away lived the Haight Street library. I would go charge my phone there all the time when I was homeless. This store Desigual San Francisco was having an event that if you stood outside in your bra and underwear they’d let you go in and get free stuff and I did just that and found the coolest coat I ever had in my life. One day I went to the library on Haight Street and this blond woman working there told me she liked my coat and asked me if she could check out the nifty design of the coat. So I took it off and handed it to her and she took it out of my hands folded it in front of me and walked off with my coat. That wasn’t very nice.
This is really a no star review. I do not go to the library for bad experiences! I was there yesterday to pick-up a book I ordered. They let you in now apparently---instead of pick-up at the door. I was stopped by an actually police officer before I went in telling me I did not have the right kind of mask --- a gaiter. I need one those basic masks that go around your ears, I guess. So, no gaiters, no bandanas, etc. Which I guess is fine but their signage should say that. The sign just said masks are required. SFPL, people do not like getting stop by police officers. And people do not like getting stop by police officers that tell they are doing something wrong. Not sure why the librarians can't regulate this. Of course, this was only part of the experience and conversation but all in all it was pretty bad.
Since when did librarians become transgressive bullies? Excuse me but why is my ethnic background an issue? I have zero, zip, no Italian ancestry whatsoever. I hear employees speaking about me in the negative apparently making an assumption that Im Italian and apparently being Italian is a bad thing here. My ancestry is Lebanese Irish Egyptian English French German Belgian South Asian Indian and Native American Ogallala Sioux & Choctaw Danish Afghan Libyan. My entire background is based on racial harmony & Im being treated like some reject from the godfather. No excuse for this as Im also very well behaved like an adult should be. So sorry you don't approve of race mixing.
This library doesn't have a large selection of books. What it lacks in books, however, it makes up for in ambience. It is quiet little place that feels like going back in time. The homeless people using the toilet are a nuisance, but that's life.
Friendly staff and a good selection. It's a small library but it's in my neighborhood and has great services so it seems just right. Larger libraries like the main library are just a train right away. I often come here to pick up books or DVDs which have been transferred from other branches. This is really easy and and excellent service. I also appreciate that they will frequently have suggested books, programs, and other cool offerings.
I don't remember much about the library but on September the 1st 1988 I sat on those steps a broken addicted Man and had an experience with the Lord Jesus Christ which has changed my life. It didn't solve all of my problems but it's the best thing that ever happened to me.
Libraries are an invaluable resource and this branch exemplifies why despite its small size the place was packed with adults enjoying the media as well as children doing their homework in another section. There are computers and free WiFi, CDS, DVDS, and even LPS something for everyone. I picked up tax forms for my friend who still files by paper. Everyone is welcomed even those seeking refuge from the continuous wet weather the last few weeks. Staff is friendly as well.
It's not the homeless that is the problem here, it's the screaming ass kids that are allowed to run around and yell their heads off. Anyway, it's clean, small, one bathroom that's always occupied. Decent selection of books for such a small place.
You might find this library small but it’s still pretty neat.
