📖 About Serramonte Main Branch — Daly City Public Library
Daly City Public Library's Serramonte Main Branch serves Daly City, California — a Peninsula city of about 110,000 residents that is the largest city in San Mateo County and the most populous city immediately south of San Francisco. The city was named for John Daly, a dairyman who owned much of the land, and is famously associated with the Westlake neighborhood that inspired Malvina Reynolds' 1962 song 'Little Boxes.' The city's library history stretches back to the John Daly Library, whose original building was later repurposed as the Daly City History Museum (opened March 2009). The Serramonte Main Branch at 40 Wembley Drive now functions as the flagship location with four branches citywide, all part of the Daly City Public Library system. The library uses the BiblioCommons catalog platform, offers museum pass lending, test proctoring, meeting room bookings, Kanopy streaming video, and eBooks through OverDrive, making it one of the more comprehensively resourced public libraries on the San Francisco Peninsula.
