Review of San Francisco Public Library

UPDATE: I failed to admit that libraries are more than just book repositories. Indeed, kids, families, gays, whites, homeless, scholars and the occasional City Supervisor all are welcomed, plus everybody else. A library can make an intellectual stop and ponder. In this Main Library all are welcomed, just like San Francisco. Something I failed to acknowledge and regret for not 6 is a dissapointment for a world-class city, but it is practical for its uses. Free internet access. All other services ie...printing, faxing are a nominal price. The staff is friendly and helpful. The homeless tend to hang out here a lot especially when the weather is bad. One of the structures that make up the excellent government plaza.

Today: my first preconceived notion on what a world-class public library focused on a narrow self-centered thought, what can it do for me. A library is so much more than that particular book, article of public notice or a friendly person doing your research. The San Francisco Main Public Library illuminates those tangibles of dreams being found, understanding what once been indescribable and most important this library's modesty shows just how grand it truly is.
