Both libraries will also receive seismic, accessibility and safety upgrades, including being equipped with automatic sprinkler systems and new emergency communication systems.
Mayor London Breed announced Wednesday $13.2 million in grants awarded through California's Building Forward Library Improvement Grant Program to renovate the San Francisco Public Library's Mission and Chinatown branches.
The Mission Branch project was awarded $5.2 million while the Chinatown Branch renovation received nearly $8 million. District 9 Supervisor Hillary Ronen said,"We’re thrilled that these capital improvements will lead to the Mission library becoming fully electric, which will be a model for all of our public institutions.”
The Mission Branch renovation includes the restoration of its 24th Street entrance, adding a new central staircase into the building's historic reading room that will feature a public art project commissioned by the San Francisco Arts commission.Additional restrooms, a dedicated space for teens and a community program room are among the areas being installed in the building.
