A multilevel stone building across from the Civic Center, City Hall and other state and federal buildings, the San Francisco Public Library are your tax dollars at work. Whether you are a native or visitor SfPL is worth exploring. The City library has an extensive collection of cataloged San Francisco and near Bay Area history. I find the evolving history of the San Francisco Bay and the City’s affect on the Bay most interesting. Certainly, the Bay and the City are joined and neither could exist without the other. Although if you talk to Save the Bay, Green Peace and others the Bay is losing to the City and there is an ongoing fight to boaster the Bay’s vote in new development and potential environmental affects. After falling into the Bay I realized that I needed to help in some way, I am one of those Save the Bay advocates. Anyway back to the library. There is enough local history references to potentially keep you reading for lifetime. Pick a topic or area interesting to you than follow through time to witness the good and controversial changes that occurred at every plane of the San Francisco’s unique and still vital existence.
