SAN FRANCISCO – Voters in San Francisco overwhelmingly approved the renewal of the San Francisco Public Library's preservation fund, which ensures that the library's services and operations will be funded for the next 25 years.
The measure was also well-received by city officials -- all 11 district supervisors signed as co-sponsors, and Mayor London Breed provided an endorsement. "San Franciscans once again show they truly love their libraries," Breed said in a statement."Our libraries play a critical role in strengthening our City's resiliency as community anchor points."
"The passage of the Library Preservation Fund ensures that seniors, families and all San Franciscans can access reading materials and important services," said Supervisor Asha Safai.
