Update as of December 2022: Some San Mateo County Libraries locations still have at-home test kits available for distribution. Please contact our Customer Care to check if your nearest library has test kits available.
San Mateo County Libraries has now received an additional supply of at-home test kits.
The County of San Mateo is providing these at-home kits and masks for families in need for their use during the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing recovery efforts.
As of Tuesday, February 22, one our libraries has a limited amount of free, at-home COVID-19 test kits still available for pickup. San Carlos Library is the only location with free masks still available for pickup on a first come, first served basis.
At each pickup site, we will distribute one package of at-home test kits per household while supplies last.
Please note the libraries are not testing sites. The test kits are designed for home use.
