NorCal Cities Offer Rental Workspace at Libraries

BY: | March 22, 2012



Building utilization and transportation are among the biggest factors that must be addressed when cities seek to go green. The cities of Santa Cruz, Palo Alto and San Francisco have all signed on to pilots that allows residents and city workers to book work space at a variety of public libraries around Northern California, tackling both problems at once by maximizing the use of city buildings and cutting down on worker commutes.

The company hopes that the pilot will be a start of a partnership that eventually includes all levels of government.
