On June 18th over 200 members of the San Francisco community gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the city’s newest and coolest space. The Mix at SFPL is a 4,770 square foot digital literacy lab for youth ages 13-18, housed within the Main Library. It was designed by the San Francisco Public Library’s Board of Advising Youth (BAY), a committee comprised of local high school and college students. The Mix at SFPL offers teens an array of 21st century learning tools, ranging from a state-of-the-art recording studio to an interactive gaming area to a makerspace filled with cutting edge technologies. Microsoft is a proud supporter of The Mix, contributing funding and devices to help students imagine, experiment, and explore.
