San Francisco's New Bay View Branch Library Opens on Saturday, February 23rd


Grand opening of Bayview branch library.  (San Francisco Chronicle, 2/20/2013)

The former branch, perhaps not so affectionately dubbed "the bunker", was built in 1969 and demolished in 2011.

As for the change in surroundings, Linda Brooks-Burton, SFPL Southeast District Manager, puts it this way.  "It's the air quality in here, the light, the openness - and the fact that we can see outside."
