In conjunction with the Library’s re-opening on June 15, the Burlingame Library Foundation is excited to share a novel way for you to expand and enhance Burlingame libraries' book collections!

With a tax-deductible donation, you can add a new book (or books!) directly to the Library and make a dedication with a beautiful, custom bookplate adhered to the front flyleaf. It’s an opportunity to applaud a child’s progress in school, thank a friend, honor a loved one, or celebrate a graduation!

A sample bookplate is pictured at right. Visit www.burlingamelibraryfoundation.org to learn more!

 

The City of Burlingame is seeking input from the community on the California Drive Bicycle Facility Project. Developed collaboratively with the community and formalized in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, the California Drive Bicycle Facility Project will further the City's commitment and efforts to address our community's needs.

The California Drive Bicycle Facility project will focus on improving the existing bicycle network from south of Broadway to Oak Grove Avenue. The project includes approximately 0.75 miles of Class II or better bike facilities to enhance bike connectivity across the city while improving the safety, comfort, and attractiveness of bicycling for people of varying ages and abilities.
