big to-do tomorrow with the first opening of a new branch library in san francisco in 40 years. as you may remember i worked on the branch library campaign back in 2000 so the branches have always been close to my heart. and the opening of this branch is specifically due to the campaign in 2000 winning. anyway, tomorrow will see big festivities down there near the ballpark (it's right next to the giants ballpark) amidst its first open day. today i'm going down there for a symposium on the 'state of libraries' and a sneak peak of the library itself. i'm sure there will be a nice piece in the paper about the opening on sunday and i'll be sure to link it
