West Portal Library Offers Russian and Chinese Collections Plus Free Digital Resources

WEST OF TWIN PEAKS, San Francisco — The West Portal branch of San Francisco Public Library at 190 Lenox Way maintains collections in multiple languages, including medium-sized Chinese and Russian collections.

The library lists Wi-Fi, electronic resources, a teen services librarian and lending materials for children and adults. Its posted hours vary: Tuesday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday 1 to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. It is normally closed Monday.
