Resolution: Library Bathroom Access & Maintenance

The Board of Supervisors Library Citizens Advisory Committee tonight passed the following motion urging better access to and maintenance of library bathrooms:

Whereas, the bathrooms at the Chinatown and Main libraries have been closed or otherwise unavailable at certain times, and, despite considerable effort by the facilities department, instances of poor maintenance have also been observed there and at other branch restrooms;

Therefore be it resolved that:

The Library Citizens Advisory Committee (LCAC) urges San Francisco Public Library to assure that bathrooms at the Chinatown branch and the Main Library are open, clean and in good working order.

The LCAC further recommends a periodic restroom maintenance schedule that is adhered to for all bathrooms in the system and sufficient funding to initiate a bathroom monitor program at the Main Library and as required in the branches.
