Be dazzled by Weaving Stories, SFPL’s celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) heritage. In music, dance, film and the written word, many narratives unfold for you to enjoy through both virtual and in-person programs at the Library.

Throughout the year, kids can dig into a vast array of energetic, creative programs, including author visits, visual art and crafting programs, music and dance performances and workshops. Our adult programs brim over with offerings, including author talks, book clubs, film screenings and panels on contemporary issues that impact the AANHPI community.
