Went to main branch #sfpubliclibrary today, such a fine institution, open and welcoming to all. I saw a banner hanging from the rail by the youth section offering free meals to kids and teens M-F. They know many kids don’t get enough food at home when they aren’t in school. It’s shameful they have to do it, but libraries fill SO many gaps in our frayed social safety net. Thank you, #librarians !

My public library is so good. I just walked in a borrowed a language program that costs $500 if you buy it (better than any online course); 3 jazz vinyls and 6 DVDs of stuff I know I can’t easily get from streamers.

If I was short on time I could have added all those to my holds list yesterday and they would put them all in one place so I can just walk in and check out. Easy.

#SFPL is so important to me!

The #SFPublicLibrary is launching "Bay Beats", a new music #streaming site for SF #library card holders. Selected local artists will receive a $250 honorarium for a non-exclusive licensing agreement.

Local #musicians, what do you think about this?
