Bernal Heights Branch Library

It's part of San Franciscan and American history as a product of the WPA to provide work to combat the effects of the Depression. The Spanish Colonial style building itself is beautiful and cozy, and the staff friendly and helpful. There is a Teens-Only area, an entire children's section with books and games on the lower level, as well an events room which hosts a variety of a activities including live musical performances.

I love the librarians there! They are always so friendly. Public restrooms and lots of outlets. The chairs could be a bit comfier to sit in but overall there is ample seating, beautiful natural light, and very lovely community feel with lots of events!

Cute small library!

The single best place I've found in the city to study or do work without having to purchase anything

This library has a cozy feel. It's small but its got a little of everything for everyone and the staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. Thank you to the wonderful staff for always making my visit enjoyable!

Excellent neighborhood library. Areas for all ages, dedicated children's space connected to the playground. An invaluable community resource.

This library does not feel like a library at all, but in a good way! It is a bit smaller than other libraries but it has this cozy welcoming vibe right when you walk in.The building and architecture here is beautiful. People generally use their "indoor" voice here so it makes for a great place to study or just to sit and catch up with your local newspaper.

I've been coming to this library since moving to San Francisco in2009. It is great for grandparents with both young children and as they grow. One of our grandkids took her 1st steps in the Wednesday baby group. Now our 6 and 9 year olds enjoy the inside and play ground.

Great staff and quick processing of my application. I was able to complete thr application and check out a book on the same visit. Beautiful building and awesome children's book section.

Beautiful, historic space. Friendly staff. Great children's section, plus a playground out back that's open even when the library is closed.

I have be in the library for years. I’m talking about 45 years. That place is great.

Park plus library plus great weather makes for the spot.

Definitely one of the very finest, perhaps the finest — a jewel in the citywide crown, and the staff are among the most knowledgeable and helpful for anywhere. It would be devastating to lose this stellar public library system, and I hope and trust we never do.

Great slow streets, shops, library, pet store, dumplings, Good Life! Family friendly. Love Bernal.

The staffs are so friendly and helpful. The library is clean and well-organized.

Best cutest library. Original old building feels very nostalgic. Not one of the biggest nor same selections but its a beautiful library.

Really quiet and peaceful inside, and with a playground aside. Lovely place for kids. And of course adults.

Small library. Offers a space that's hard to find in SF ... tall ceilings, quiet atmosphere, tables with lamps. Reminded me of a university library on the East Coast.

What a gem. We’re so lucky to call this our local library. Great staff.
