July 29, 2024 – The program, “Read to Recovery,” will provide books on healing from substance abuse for free to anyone at all San Francisco library branches even if they don’t have a library card. They include Alcoholics Anonymous’ 12-step “Big Book” and publications on Recovery Dharma and Narcotics Anonymous. San Francisco Mayor London Breed signed into law legislation that will make books on addiction recovery free of charge at all city libraries.
“For folks that are struggling and find respite in places like the public library, it is immensely powerful for folks to have access to communication and materials that may be the thing that sparks the fire in them wanting to find recovery,” said Castro Country Club executive director Billy Lemon.
