The Sunset library was the 8th location in the San Francisco Public Library system, opening March 25, 1918 at 18th Avenue and Irving Street, replacing an old barn (which had become quite a nuisance in the neighborhood because young boys used it for gun practice) with a two-story, italinate-style Carnegie building designed by architect G. Albert Lansburgh.

One hundred years (and a week) later, we're celebrating this big anniversary! We'll have activities and performances and snacks galore, and we'd love to have a few helpers from the community to make it all happen. The event runs 12-5, but we can use help an hour before for set up and an hour after for clean up.

If you could lend a hand for a couple hours (or more!) during the festivities, please get in touch with volunteer@sfpl.org
