Thank you so much for attending Library Laureates. We celebrated the Library that cared for us through uncertain times and emerged as a beacon of hope and stability for San Franciscans. The Library continues to light the way with its commitment to democracy, equity, free resources, and the belief that learning, curiosity, and opportunity are for everyone.
