A thorough analysis of San Rafael’s aging library facilities has identified upgrades required for safety, access for older adults and people with disabilities, and functionality for users. For example, the 113-year-old Downtown Library has frequent roof leaks, inadequate plumbing and restrooms and outdated electrical systems that cannot support current technology needs. Children’s programs at the Downtown Library are conducted in a converted parking garage. Additional space is needed for collections and programming at all three libraries, including the Pickleweed and Terra Linda branch libraries.
