Pondering Death and Dying Until recently, talking about death was taboo. Now there are more open discussion about the subject. What happens when we die? Are there environmentally-friendly ways to deal with one’s deceased body? How do different faith traditions view death? How do we ensure that our wishes are followed if we are unable to make medical decisions on our own?

Talking Books and Braille Center We have changed the name of the Library for the Blind, located inside the Main Library, to reflect the collections we offer rather than describing the people we serve. The Center will continue to welcome people to programs such as book clubs, karaoke, music jams and tactile exhibitions. We also offer technology to magnify or read text aloud, and write and display braille. If you can’t read regular print, even with glasses; if you have a reading disability; or you cannot hold a book and/or turn the pages; you are probably one of the approximately 80,000 San Franciscans eligible for Talking Books.

The Wanderers
by Meg Howrey
Training for the first-ever mission to Mars, three astronauts share experiences that push the boundary between the real and surreal while irrevocably changing their relationships and familial bonds. The Wanderers explores the differences between those who go and those who stay, telling a story about the desire behind all exploration: the longing for discovery and the great search to understand the human heart.
