Potrero Branch

San Francisco Public Library branches collect materials that meet the needs of the branch community. Like all branch libraries, Potrero Branch offers high interest books at adult, teen and children's reading levels. Basic collections of fiction, nonfiction and reference materials are available. Branches also offer a variety of magazines, newspapers, audiobooks, CDs and DVDs. Books not collected by a branch may be obtained through the library's request system, Link+, or interlibrary loan. Most of the library's large collection of electronic resources is accessible from all branch locations and online 24 hours a day at www.sfpl.org.

Potrero Branch has a small Chinese language collection.

Potrero Branch houses part of the Potrero Hill Archives Project which was started in 1986 to record oral histories of Potrero Hill residents and gather old photographs of the neighborhood. During the branch renovation, this collection will be available in the San Francisco History Center.
