San Francisco is My Home

Shh!

Hey, you ever been to the main branch of the SF library? Because it. Is. Awesome. It’s like a palace where books are king. Five (five? I think five) floors stretch up into the booky heavens, reached by a spiraling staircase that looks out over the wide-floored lobby. (Also by an elevator, but I prefer the view.)

Like everything in this lovably down-at-heels city, it has its drawbacks. I’ve never gone and found all the books I was looking for in one trip, for example. Still, I always find something I’m powerfully excited to read. Plus, library members can access the OED (that’s the Oxford English Dictionary, for those of you who aren’t big grammar nerds) on the library website. For that alone I give them five stars, one for every floor.
