Dear Readers,

The Library is excited to partner with the APA Heritage Foundation to present Asian Pacific American Heritage Celebration, a month full of special events, author visits and creative programs for all ages.

San Francisco’s Asian and Pacific American roots reach deep. The City has long been a destination for immigrants from Asia, and

our Chinatown remains the largest and oldest in North America; we have a vibrant Little Saigon and a strong Filipino American presence. Japantown is the second largest in the nation. San Francisco is also home to dynamic communities from Burma, India, Indonesia, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, the Pacific Islands, Singapore and Thailand, to name just a few.

Our city boasts a strong Asian Pacific literary heritage, exemplified by Jade Snow Wong’s autobiography Fifth Chinese Daughter; the historical research of Yuji Ichioka who coined the term “Asian American”; essays by Andrew Lam; poet and community activist Tony Robles; and the scholarly works of our Chinatown Branch namesake Him Mark Lai; and many other authors. This year we’ve heightened our literary endeavors by collaborating on a shared book club with our sister city library in Shanghai.

Our Library is a dynamic repository for knowledge and represents unity and community building. Our heritage celebrations raise a deep awareness of how individuals and community organizations have shaped and continue to preserve the rich history of our beloved City. We invite everyone to enjoy our programs and those by our partners, including the APA Heritage Foundation, Asian Art Museum, Asia Pacific Fund and CAAMFest.

As a librarian born in Seoul, Korea, this month of special events sparks a great deal of personal pride as we celebrate our rich and varied cultural heritage.

Michael Lambert, Acting City Librarian

Supported by Friends of the San Francisco Public Library. All programs at the Library are free.sfpl.org/asian-pacific-american-heritage-month apasf.org #APAHM2018

Two Cities/One Book is an opportunity for San Franciscans to read and discuss the same book at the same time as residents from our sister city of Shanghai, China. Check your local library or local bookstore for a copy of this selection. A.J. Fikry, a recent widower, is a prickly and odd owner of an independent bookstore on Alice Island (in New England). One day, a toddler is abandoned by her mother in the bookstore, and the child falls under Fikry’s care. This selection is both funny and moving, and is centered around books and writing.

San Franciscans love to read, and we hope that Two Cities/One Book will introduce you to a wonderful new title or author. We want this book to build shared experiences with our users, and we look forward to growing the relation-ship with our sister city.
