The Great Teen Book Swap


Thursday, June 16

3:00pm

FREE BOOK! Just swap us a review! Here’s how it works: The Teen Librarian will bring out free books and hand them out to the first people who want them (or until the books run out). You will, in turn, swap us a bookmark review by the next bookswap. The books available may include: advance readers’ copies, new or old titles, nonfiction, or graphic novels/manga.

For more information, contact Marla, Teen Librarian, at mbergman@sfpl.org or 415-355-2858 415-355-2858

Travel Books for Your Summer Vacation

Planning a vacation? Come to the library for guidebooks on a variety of destinations. You'll find books from Frommer's, Fodor's, Rick Steves and other popular travel series. If we don't have the book you need, remember that you can request items from other San Francisco Public Library locations and they'll be delivered to Glen Park branch for you to pick up.

To search for travel books, go to the library catalog at www.sfpl.org. Enter the name of your destination and "guidebooks", for example, "spain guidebooks". If you see a book that interests you, click on "Is it available?" If it's at another location, click on "Request" and enter your library card number and PIN.

Don't forget that we also have language learning materials on CD and online in the Articles and Databases section of sfpl.org.

If you'd like more tips for searching the library catalog, our librarians will be happy to assist you.
