A Mile House was a stage coach stop where mail was delivered and where coaches stopped to exchange and rest their horses. A mile house was designated in terms of its location from the stage terminus in downtown San Francisco. As the “mile houses” were built, they got their designation from the distance the stage had traveled. As years went by and the road changed, such designations were... more

The library is one of the most technologically advanced in the country, starting with the talking elevators , which call out helpful information like "going up," and "second floor." You'll want to get out on the second floor, incidentally, because that's where the Fisher Children's Center is located. At the Center, kids can work on the computers, read stories, or play video games. There are... more

SF public library is the best place for studying. The place is so vast and they got extensive array of books. They also have internet access - lower level and most floors. The lower level - only for 15 minutes but the other levels - you have to get yourself an appointment. As good as it sounds, the library is not located in a good area - no parking and they are many bums infront of the library.... more

This library is one of the largest libraries in the bay area. If you ever need a book, movie or any type of reference that you cannot find, this is the place for you.

It seems like this library has about 100 floors. I enjoy the computer area the best because you can do all kinds of research: both library based and google based. There is always someone around to help you.

It is very safe in... more

However, with such a large facility, it can be imposing and intimidating. Also, finding an area to converse with group members can be hard -... more
