SF Public Library: Merced Branch

Getting There

The Merced Branch of the San Francisco Public Library system is 1/2 block from the 28, K buses.  Right acrossed from the Stonestown mall.  There is plenty of street parking with 2 car parking for 10 minutes.

What is different?

One standout of this library is the central garden space with maple trees and 5 benches.  On this sunny Saturday, taking a book outside to read without checking out the book is a great way to spend 2-3 hours browsing and reading books.  There is 1 aisle worth of Chinese fiction and non-frictions books.

Interior

There is a nice fireplace with 6 comfy leather seats.  A lot of 4 top tables spread a crossed the library.  It’s a single floor library with almost 1/3 of the space devoted to childrens area and a small teen section.

Noise

A lot of kids, so expect noise around level 5 out of 10.
