Eureka Valley / Harvey Milk Memorial Branch Library

The Eureka Valley / Harvey Milk Memorial Branch is a neighborhood library operated by the San Francisco Public Library in the heart of the Castro district. It bears the name of Harvey Milk, the pioneering gay rights activist and city supervisor who was assassinated in 1978 — the first openly gay person elected to public office in California. Naming the branch after Milk places his legacy squarely in the neighborhood he made his political home. The library offers free public Wi-Fi, a lending collection, and fully accessible facilities. Hours run Tuesday through Thursday until 20:00, with shorter hours the rest of the week.
