San Rafael Public Library - Downtown

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, events and classes, 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.

We also present a number of events, for adults and for kids/family. Join our First Monday Night Reading Group, bring your kids to Baby Time! on Tuesday mornings or Family Storytime on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, come to our First Wednesday Art Talk, and more.

The library also extends beyond our walls with our many outreach services.
