From Sleaze to Classics: From left: Juliana Delgado Lopera; Ann Bannon, (photo by Jason Ganwich); and Lucy Jane Bledsoe, (photo by Nye Lyn Tho). Ann Bannon, Lucy Jane Bledsoe and Juliana Delgado Lopera Lesbian iconic authors with work spanning 60 years will discuss how lesbian literature has evolved and reinvented itself. Back in the 1950s Ann Bannon was a Philadelphia housewife who typed pulp novels in her spare time. She earned the title “Queen of Lesbian Pulp Fiction” based on her bestselling, five-volume Beebo Brinker Chronicles. In those days, most lesbians were closeted and took great risks just to purchase one of these paperbacks, mostly sold in drugstores and bus stations. Her archives are housed at San Francisco Public Library, and some are on display in the Jewett Gallery exhibition, Queerest. Library. Ever. Flash forward to the 1990s when Lucy Jane Bledsoe began writing fiction featuring lesbian characters. Her work has won a Yaddo Fellowship, the 2013 Saturday Evening Post Fiction Award, a Pushcart nomination, a California Arts Council Fellowship, an American Library Association Stonewall Award, and two National Science Foundation Artists & Writers Fellowships. Her new novel, Coming Up: SFPL.ORG JULY 6 Author Gordon Edgar Cheddar: A Journey to the Heart of America's Most Iconic Cheese Noe Valley Branch, 7 p.m. A Thin Bright Line, is a novel of Cold War intrigue, the birth of climate research, and the emergence of queer liberation. Colombian-born writer Juliana Delgado Lopera is the author of ¡Cuéntamelo!, an illustrated bilingual collection of oral histories by LGBT Latina immigrants. Her work has been published in The Bold Italic, Revista Canto, Black Girl Dangerous, and SF Weekly, among others.

If you had words of advice to give to your 10-year-old self, what would they be? Keep drawing! I’ve learned that with lots of practice, you can do most things. What inspires you to create? Everything, really everything! Do you return your books on time or do you rack up late fines? I have $1.75 in fines at the moment, but I try very hard to return books on time. How have libraries had an impact on your life? When I needed a quiet space, when I couldn’t afford new books or a computer, the library provided for me. What’s your favorite park and why? Christian’s favorites That’s a very hard question to answer. I love many parks in the City, each for a different reason. Dolores Park is great for being with friends and getting some sun. Bernal Heights Park is good for gaining perspective. Golden Gate Park is great for connecting with nature while still being in the city.

California Map Society – June 4, 10 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Main, Koret Auditorium It has been 400 years since the death of William Shakespeare, and, around the world, events are being held to commemorate the legacy of the bard. The world's largest repository of Shakespeare’s first folios and other rare works is located, not in Stratford-upon-Avon or London, but in Washington, D.C. Stephen H. Grant’s Collecting Shakespeare: The Story of Henry and Emily Folger tells the story of the Folgers, a couple who married in 1885 and dedicated their lives to collecting Shakespeare. Henry Folger was a close associate of John D. Rockefeller, and eventually rose to the helm of the Standard Oil Company of New York. But the passion that most deeply possessed the Folgers was the collecting, and, eventually, the building of the Folger Shakespeare Library. Collecting Shakespeare with Stephen Grant – June 23, 6 p.m. Main, Koret Auditorium.

This month we had the pleasure of catching up with Library Laureate Colin Winnette. Colin is the author of Revelation, Animal Collection, Fondly, Coyote, and Haints Stay. Coyote won Les Figues Press’s NOS Book Contest, and Haints Stay was listed as a 2015 “Best Book of the Year” by Flavorwire, Litreactor, Largehearted Boy, and Slate. What are you reading right now? Favorite San Francisco Public Library Branch Library: I just finished a book by Victor Pelevin called The Hall of the Singing Caryatids, which was excellent. I might read Danielle Dutton’s Margaret the First next. I’m in the Mission, so I use the Mission Branch most of the time. But I do love the feel of walking around the Main Library. Where do you write? Last item you checked out? In my office or at the kitchen table. However, I used to work at the Asian Art Museum and I would sometimes spend my lunch breaks over in the Main, writing in the poetry stacks. There is nothing quite like walking the stacks and just randomly looking through lines/poems in books you might never have otherwise seen. Among many other things, that unique experience and source of inspiration is something the San Francisco Public Library gave me that I will never forget. The Mephisto Waltz by Fred Mustard Stewart and Offshore by Penelope Fitzgerald. How do you envision libraries in the future? Expanding to account for the various new ways we’re consuming stories and information, while staying connected to and supporting the structures that served and serve as critical foundations for these new modes.
