Branch Manager Anthony Dos Santos wishes to tell the San Lorenzo community that “The staff is saddened by the closing of the San Lorenzo Library on Dec. 31, because we know the great joy that this building has brought to individuals and generations of families over the last 45 years. This closing also marks a new beginning as the library transforms itself into a 21st century library that can continue to grow in new directions along with our neighborhoods and communities. Please join us during the last four days of the year to celebrate the closing, the transformations coming, and most of all, to honor the fond memories.”
