The South San Francisco Library will be closing to prepare for its big move.
Visit the Main Library before its closure on July 8th
“South San Francisco is moving from the current Main Library on West Orange Avenue to our new state-of-the-art Library and Parks & Recreation Center opening this Fall 2023. The Main Library will be open on West Orange Avenue for the last time up to 6:00 PM on Friday, July 7, 2023, after nearly 57 years in service to the community. While the Main Library is being moved, services will continue at the Grand Avenue Branch Library, including children’s story times, the summer learning challenge, and many other events.
For more information on the move and services at Grand Avenue Branch Library this summer, including answers to frequently asked questions and updates on a grand opening date, visit www.ssf.net/library, below, or call (650)829-3860. Thanks for the memories and the support, we look forward to seeing you in the new Main Library!”
I’m and SSF native born and raised grew up through parks and rec and now raise my sons in this city.
I grew up three houses down from the old west Orange library it was a special place to me and my family. I still remember when they had pyramids in the parking lot we used to slide down on cardboard. It’s where I learned to ride a bike and taught my son to ride a bike without training wheels there as well.
My family and I are absolutely devastated about the move to the newer eye sore of a building on El Camino Real. Please let us know what is going to be done with the old building. We hope it’s not getting torn down.
There isn’t anything stated anywhere about why the move happened or what is intended for the very beautiful old library location.
