Mechanics Institute Library & Chess Room
Don't miss seeing this beautiful library housed in a one hundred year-old landmark building in the heart of San Francisco's financial district. Founded just after the Gold Rush to provide education and training for mechanics and to promote California industry, the Institute today is a vibrant cultural center serving the entire Bay Area.
San Francisco Public Library - Main Library
Inside this architecturally-significant building, you’ll find a dramatic skylight that floods the interior with light, bridges that connect floors across lightwells, a four-story grand staircase, and a spiral staircase in a glass-enclosed reading room. This tour will showcase these features as well as the library’s extensive special collections, artwork, and exhibits and will allow a peak into back-of-the-house activities, including their state-of-the-art automated book return system. Assistant Chief, Main Library Karen Strauss will host this hour-long tour.
