[Kimee · Rating 5 out of 5]

During my lifetime a vandal destroyed queer books at the San Francisco Public Library. The Hormel Center turned those destroyed books into works of art. I loved learning that history, and about the care librarians put into creating and curating the center. Read this if you want to learn more about San Francisco's queer history and how that history is being shared.
