The Biotechnology Learning Center is located on the second floor of the library. It is situated in a large recessed section separated from the large reading area and stacks. According to the library website some of the features it offers include meeting and seminar space, a life sciences collection, electronic resources on health, nutrition and science, and electronic resources on the subject. One of the goals of the center is to offer preparation to students interested in biotech careers. The center is even supported by a life sciences librarian.
Local corporation Genentech donated two million dollars to set up the center. The San Mateo Public Library is the first public library to have a biotechnology center.
