Reading – Dispatches from the City of Awe

Join us at the SF Public Library as we gather to celebrate Dispatches from the City of Awe—an ongoing storytelling project that uplifts the real voices, hidden histories, and everyday brilliance of our fellow San Franciscans. This special live reading brings together community members, writers, and cultural partners to share new Dispatches that reflect the resilience, humor, and humanity of San Francisco. Join us for an evening of vibrant, place-rooted storytelling.

We will also have our listening booth there to record your stories.
