  • Library Galleria is currently open to the public and offers computer use. Two floods in July 2020 caused significant damage to the Central Library that resulted in temporarily moving various internal operations to public floors. This has delayed our public reopening. The City of Sacramento has started repairs and we anticipate the work will be finished later this summer. We hope to welcome the public back into the building by mid-September.
  • Ella K. McClatchy Library launched curbside service on July 15. Space limitations prevent us from offering in-person services at this time due to social distancing requirements for employees. We hope to have an update on when we can fully reopen this location soon.
  • Franklin Library is currently open for curbside service. Space limitations prevent us from offering in-person services at this time due to social distancing requirements for employees. We hope to have an update on when we can fully reopen this location soon.
