San Mateo County Libraries and our partners — the City of Brisbane, opens a new window, and the County of San Mateo, opens a new window — worked hard to complete and open the new Brisbane Library to the public for the first time on April 22nd. The 7,670 square foot library provides three times the square footage, the city's first-ever art display, an increase in collection size, new dedicated areas, such as a History Room, Quiet Room, children's and teen spaces, collaborative makerspace, Community Room, and beautiful outdoor patios and gardens. The new building meets LEED Silver standards and the environmentally-progressive design features an abundance of natural light, sustainable interior choices, and a 5,000-gallon rainwater cistern which will result in a 77% reduction of indoor water use. The new library has been enthusiastically embraced by the community. This press release was produced by San Mateo County Libraries. The views expressed here are the author's own.
