The Mix at SFPL is an innovative, teen-designed, 21st century media space that provides 4,770-square feet of space and equipment for youth ages 12-18 to explore, create and develop digital media and computer skills as well as discover and engage with the Library’s traditional books and materials. Outfitted with state-of-the-art digital media, video/sound recording, computer and creative maker equipment, teens can expand their imaginations as well as their technology and literacy skills and engage in individual and team projects that promote critical thinking, inventiveness and skill building.
Initiated with a planning grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the MacArthur Foundation, with additional financial support provided by Friends of the San Francisco Public Library, The Mix provides multiple ways for a diversity of youth to engage within the program space prioritizing a culture of equity, inclusion, and youth leadership. Youth are given access to tools, technology, and staff who support learning, self-expression, creativity, critical thinking, and innovation.
All activities and services at The Mix are free. For more information, please contact Jason Hill, Program Manager, (415) 557-4272 or jason.hill@sfpl.org
