 Herrera Leads Public Library into the Future
By Nicole Cuadra Apr 14, 2007
Known for his easy manner, strong communication skills, and commitment to public service, City Librarian Luis Herrera is presiding over a library renaissance in San Francisco. Last year, the San Francisco Public Library opened its first new branch in 40 years, and is currently in the midst of an ambitious capital improvement program to replace four branches and restore and renovate 19 others. Excelsior, Mission Bay and West Portal were the first branches completed under this plan, with the Sunset, Marina, Glen Park and Noe Valley neighborhood libraries to follow this year. The Main Library is also undergoing a significant renovation to the first floor that will improve access to more books, media and computer technology.

Teen services at the Mission Branch Library
By Nicole Cuadra Feb 15, 2007
The library is for everyone, and everyone includes teens! While teens in the library may arouse a range of feelings on the part of adults, the truth is that they are an underserved demographic with specific needs and interests: not all schools have libraries these days, yet teens have a strong need for information resources.
