About Us
Your Library
The San Rafael Public Library is proud to offer two community libraries: the Downtown Library at 5th and E Streets and the Pickleweed Library on Canal Street. We offer full physical and digital collections with books, movies, television shows, and music for all ages. Our in-library services include computers and WiFi, programs for all ages, and research and homework assistance. Our digital branch (srpubliclibrary.org) offers downloadable eBooks and eAudioBooks, cover-to-cover magazines and newspapers, live homework help, and tons more. The library also extends beyond our walls with the Marin Literacy Program and our Outreach Services. We are not your mama's library. Come see how we've changed!
Your Support Equals Services (Measure C Success)
Thanks to the special library parcel tax (Measure C) approved by San Rafael Voters in June 2010, we’ve been able to add open hours and be available seven days a week. We’ve also been able to add more digital content and services, focusing on the needs of students and job-seekers. Thank you San Rafael!
