The New Main Library was opened on 18th April 1996 after extensive renovation on the Main library building amounting to a staggering 109 million dollars. The New Main Library is fully equipped with 300 computer terminals, a room equipped with 1100 laptops and a special children's wing. The management has acted upon the feedback they have received from the general public and improved facilities like adding more computers for public access, meeting and study rooms for students and local groups, comfortable and roomy seating areas and also better wheelchair access. Take a peek at the sleek top floor terrace.
This small park near the Embarcadero Center is popular with office-goers who stop by to hang out during breaks and catch some fresh air. The central attraction is the rather curious-looking Vaillancourt Fountain created by noted sculptor Armand Vaillancourt. This behemoth structure looks like an art-installation comprising entangled piles of concrete blocks in varying shapes. The Justin Herman Plaza always seems to be bustling with the frenetic activity of pigeons flying around and kids playing with employees on their lunch break. A nice place to go to if you're bored and want to indulge in a bout of people-watching.
