In honor of the 2011 One City, One Book selection Packing For Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach, we have found a few fun photos from the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin photo morgue for you to enjoy. Watch for them through November 2011!
While we encourage you to read this year's One City, One Book selection, Packing For Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach, we suggest you do not try what you read at home
For something a little easier on the eardrums, stop by the Park Branch Library next Tuesday (9/27) at 7pm for Out of This World: Explore Outer Space in Classical Music with Salon97 - a fun evening of classical music, friends and refreshments!
