Library Building Project to Begin
May 2, 2008
What’s happening to the Library?
A three-year project to expand and renovate the J. Paul Leonard Library building is underway.
Construction will begin with the demolition of the Franciscan Building on the site of the new addition at the end of spring semester.
The current Library building will close by October 1, 2008.
The expanded and renovated library building will open for Fall 2011.
How will I use library services and collections during the three year construction period?
Library, Academic Technology and Center for Teaching and Faculty Development services will be available from other on-campus locations by October 1, 2008.
The Library web site, and online catalog, databases and journals will be unaffected.
Study space and computer access will be available in Library Annex I, a new temporary building near the Lot 20 parking garage.
Books and media will be available by online request for pickup within 24 hours at a distribution desk in the HSS building.
Research assistance will be available at both locations and by phone, instant messaging or e-mail.

J. Paul Leonard Library G&hellip | May 4, 2008 at 3:43 pm
[...] J. Paul Leonard Library Goes Web 2.0 May 4, 2008 Filed under: Uncategorized — cnoyes @ 11:43 pm Interestingly, I have heard the rumors that the J. Paul Leonard Library located at San Francisco State University is closing. Not forever, but for the next three years. It is scheduled to reopen in 2011. At first I thought, “Well that doesn’t help me. I am graduating in 2008.” However, I researched the rumor a bit further to discover that it is quite fascinating how the library will work during the closure. The library itself is going to further transition into the wonderful world of Web 2.0 using online interactivity. “Books and media will be available by online request for pickup within 24 hours at a distribution desk in the HSS building. Research assistance will be available at both locations and by phone, instant messaging or e-mail.” This is how it should be! It saves time for the students by expediting student research. Check out the blog that has been dedicated to the project: Library Project About to Begin [...]

What will happen to the 24 hour quiet room? Will we have a place to go study after 12am?

Responding to the question, what will happen to the 24 hour quiet room. We will provide an extended hours study and computer space in the new Library Annex 1 in the Fall. We are not sure if it will be 24 hours or not, but it will definitely be open late hours, perhaps until 2am.

So some students have brought up this idea of putting a bar/cantina on top of the library so that people can enjoy books, drinks, and the spectacular view. Also then students could enjoy a safe on-campus nightlife. Is there any way this can become incorperated into the new building plans?
