Summer Reading
Recommendations
Looking for a great summer
read for a child, tween, or teen
in your life—or even yourself?
Check out the official SFUSD
Recommended Summer Reading booklist available online at
sfpl.org/summerstride. For the
third year, the Library has collaborated with San Francisco
Unified School District teacher
librarians to select 80 fresh recommendations for youth in kindergarten through 12th grade.
This robust list represents
a diversity of stories across
genres. You’ll find modern classics like Jacqueline Woodson’s
Newbery-winning biography in verse, Brown Girl
Dreaming, and hidden
gems like The Way Home
Looks Now by Wendy
Wan Long Shang, about
a boy who unifies his
broken family through baseball. There is a host
of books with local flavor, such as This Bridge Will
Not Be Gray by Dave Eggers and Mummy Cat by
local duo Marcus Ewert and
Lisa Brown. Don’t miss Leo:
A Ghost Story by local author
and illustrator Mac Barnett
and Christian Robinson, which
served as the inspiration for
Robinson’s
original art for
Summer Stride 2016!
Meet with Robinson in
person on June 4 at The Mix (for
teens ages 13-18) and June 15
at North Beach Branch (for families). There is something for everyone, from the
bookworm to the reluctant reader, in this booklist to get your summer reading on!

In addition to the trailheads, a free shuttle trip to our national
parks will start at nine neighborhood libraries: Bayview, Chinatown,

Lesbian iconic authors with work
spanning 60 years will discuss how
lesbian literature has evolved and
reinvented itself.
Back in the 1950s Ann Bannon
was a Philadelphia housewife who typed pulp novels in her spare time. She earned
the title “Queen of Lesbian Pulp Fiction” based on her bestselling, five-volume
Beebo Brinker Chronicles. In those days, most lesbians were closeted and took great
risks just to purchase one of these paperbacks, mostly sold in drugstores and bus
stations. Her archives are housed at San Francisco Public Library, and some are on
display in the Jewett Gallery exhibition, Queerest. Library. Ever.
Flash forward to the 1990s when Lucy Jane Bledsoe began writing fiction
featuring lesbian characters. Her work has won a Yaddo Fellowship, the 2013
Saturday Evening Post Fiction Award, a Pushcart nomination, a California Arts
Council Fellowship, an American Library Association Stonewall Award, and
two National Science Foundation Artists & Writers Fellowships. Her new novel,

plays in the Mission district. His book Leo: A Ghost
Story (Chronicle Books) written by Mac Barnett, about
a boy ghost’s quest to find family, friends and a place

What drew you to San Francisco?
Its energy. I love how free-spirited and open-minded
the city can be.
If you had words of advice to give to your
10-year-old self, what would they be?
Keep drawing! I’ve learned that with lots of practice,
you can do most things.
What inspires you to create?
Everything, really everything!
Do you return your books on time or do you
rack up late fines?
I have $1.75 in fines at the moment, but I try very hard
to return books on time.
How have libraries had an impact on your life?
When I needed a quiet space, when I couldn’t afford
new books or a computer, the library provided for me.
What’s your favorite park and why?
Christian’s favorites
That’s a very hard question to answer. I love many
parks in the City, each for a different reason. Dolores
Park is great for being with friends and getting some
sun. Bernal Heights Park is good for gaining perspective. Golden Gate Park is great for connecting with
nature while still being in the city.

California is open to anyone. In addition to its members’ exhibitions, HBC sponsors bookbinding workshops and classes,

The Main at 20: Art in the Main Library
T
he beautiful Main Library is home to significant works of public art. Three of these works were
commissioned as part of the City’s art enrichment program and planned in association with the
building design. Four additional works were independently funded and approved.
The spiral staircase connecting the fifth and sixth floors of the Main, Functional and Fantasy Stair,
was created by artist Alice Aycock. An accompanying work, Cyclone Fragment, functions as a ghost projection
of the spiral stair.
New York artist Nayland Blake created Constellation, a back-lit, fiber-optic illuminated author wall
that rises five stories behind the grand staircase.
The untitled card catalog walls on floors three and four were created by Ann Hamilton and Ann
Chamberlain. Fifty thousand hand annotated library cards, covered by a thin veneer of artisans plaster,
surface the walls which divide the closed stacks and
circulating collections.
Mark Evans and Charley Brown created the
ceiling mural depicting gay and lesbian history and
culture for the Hormel LGBTQIA Center. The artists
donated their time and the artwork was privately
funded.
Additional works acquired through private
funding after the opening of the Main Library include
Latino/America: Authors from Latin American Roots,
painted by artist Enrique Chagoya, located just inside
the Grove Street entrance; Perhaps Better Voices,
created by artist Emanuel Paniagua, in the Latino/
Hispanic Community Meeting Room on the lower

by artist George Warren Rickey, located at the

California Map Society – June 4, 10 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Main, Koret Auditorium
It has been 400 years since the death
of William Shakespeare, and, around
the world, events are being held to
commemorate the legacy of the bard. The
world's largest repository of Shakespeare’s
first folios and other rare works is located,
not in Stratford-upon-Avon or London,
but in Washington, D.C. Stephen H.
Grant’s Collecting Shakespeare: The Story
of Henry and Emily Folger tells the story
of the Folgers, a couple who married in
1885 and dedicated their lives to collecting Shakespeare. Henry Folger was
a close associate of John D. Rockefeller, and eventually rose to the helm of
the Standard Oil Company of New York. But the passion that most deeply
possessed the Folgers was the collecting, and, eventually, the building of the
Folger Shakespeare Library.

Colin Winnette
Last spring we brought back the Library Laureates Gala and
celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Main Library with 35
of our favorite authors. This month we had the pleasure of
catching up with Library Laureate Colin Winnette.
Colin is the author of Revelation, Animal Collection,
Fondly, Coyote, and Haints Stay. Coyote won Les Figues Press’s
NOS Book Contest, and Haints Stay was listed as a 2015
“Best Book of the Year” by Flavorwire, Litreactor, Largehearted Boy, and Slate.
What are you reading right now?
Favorite San Francisco Public
Library Branch Library:
I just finished a book by Victor Pelevin
called The Hall of the Singing Caryatids,
which was excellent. I might read Danielle Dutton’s Margaret the First next.
I’m in the Mission, so I use the Mission
Branch most of the time. But I do love the
feel of walking around the Main Library.
Where do you write?
Last item you checked out?
In my office or at the kitchen table.
However, I used to work at the Asian
Art Museum and I would sometimes
spend my lunch breaks over in the
Main, writing in the poetry stacks.
There is nothing quite like walking
the stacks and just randomly looking
through lines/poems in books you
might never have otherwise seen.
Among many other things, that unique
experience and source of inspiration
is something the San Francisco Public
Library gave me that I will never forget.
The Mephisto Waltz by Fred Mustard
Stewart and Offshore by Penelope
Fitzgerald.
How do you envision libraries
in the future?
Expanding to account for the various
new ways we’re consuming stories and
information, while staying connected
to and supporting the structures that
served and serve as critical foundations for these new modes.

Loving our Library Laureates
The mission of Friends of the San Francisco Public
Library is to create, steward and support a superior, free
public library system in San Francisco. We are committed
to raising the standard of excellence of our libraries
by funding programs and services beyond what is
allocated in the city’s budget. We believe in free and
equal access to information for all.
We are so excited to bring back Poets 11 for its sixth edition! Poets 11 is a unique,
community-building poetry contest and reading series that collects poems from
every neighborhood in San Francisco, and features readings in branch libraries in
each of the city’s 11 districts. Join us, starting this month and continuing through
August to hear your neighbors debut their work.
