We hope you have been enjoying our "photo morgue" tribute to the One City, One Book selection Packing For Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach. Scroll down through our blog to see them all or click on these links: Sept. 2, 10, 23, Oct. 15, 22
Two great events this week for the One City, One Book Program:
On Wednesday, November 2 at 6pm, Mary Roach comes to the Koret Auditorium at the Main Library for a conversation with MythBusters co-host, Adam Savage. Before the conversation, enjoy the premiere of Rockets of Yesterday, an eye-popping video tour of 1950s and 60s rocket dreams, curated by writer, archivist and space enthusiast Megan Prelinger.
Get a chance to see the stars and planets for yourself (without having to build your own telescope) at one of the Bay Area "Star Parties" happening Saturday, November 5. In San Francisco, head over to San Francisco State University's Thornton Hall for planetarium shows starting at 8pm and telescope viewing if the clear weather holds out. It's all part of the Bay Area Science Festival going on now!

The San Francisco Public Library owns the photo morgue of the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin, a daily newspaper that covered the time period from the 1920s to 1965. Much of the San Francisco Historical Photograph Collection comes from the News-Call Bulletin morgue. However, the morgue also includes national and international subjects that have not been digitized or cataloged.
