Zines from the 90s Mission, history of shopping malls, space design magazines, the Whole Earth catalogs. No "check out" so bring a digital camera or find the books on the Internet Archive. Viva SF!

"It's an archive. Of the internet. In a church. The scripture numbers are Pi and the Golden Ration. There are Friday lunches, and occasional talks. The Wayback Machine IRL! Get on the email list!"

"New public library. Close to BART public transportation. You can use a bunch of computer terminals. Free wifi. Excellent kids section."
