I borrow a lot of books from the library after placing a hold, so even though I pick them up at my home library, they’re originally from other branch libraries in the @sfpl system.
so going forward, I’m going to start returning them to their branch libraries of origin until I’ve visited all the different locations.
today: returning Hernán Díaz’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Trust to the Excelsior branch. It’s the best thing I’ve read this year.
Instead, the library is operating out of a borrowed storefront around the corner on Valencia. After returning this book, the really excellent Time’s Mouth by Edun #Lepucki, I walked around. The library is tiny but charming. There’s a big collection of media offerings, and a laptop-lending machine. in the main room, book displays cater to the neighborhood’s Spanish-speaking population and English-language books focus topics relevant to the Spanish-speaking population of the Americas as well.
