April 1st brings pranks of all kinds, but the annual exhibition of the Schmulowitz Collection of Wit and Humor is no joke even if you may have a few laughs while you're checking it out. This year's theme is "On the Clock: A Playful Guide to Working Life," so why not take a break from your '9 to 5' in the Skylight Gallery on the 6th Floor of the Main Library. The exhibit runs from April 1, 2013 through May 31, 2013.
TEA TASTER
February 20, 1964 - Paul D. Ahrens of Palo Alto, a tea taster with a San Francisco firm, sips a variety of tea at the 61st annual meeting of the U.S Board of Tea Experts in New York. Unfortunately, we never did learn what Ahrens thought about the sample.

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 San Francisco News-Call Bulletin Photo Morgue. However, the morgue also includes statewide, national, and international subjects and people that have not been digitized or cataloged. When researchers order scans from the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin Photo Morgue,selections are cataloged and added to the online database.
