Sunday, June 28th, the BLIP Bookmobile rolled in San Francisco's biggest public event of the year -- the 39th Annual Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender Pride Parade! Escorted by the members of the GLBTQI Committee of SFPL's Adult Services Division, the Bookmobile coasted down Market Street from the Embarcadero to Civic Center Plaza, turning off at last on 8th Street. Cheering crowds on either side of Market Street clamored for fortune cookies handed out by committee members, each cookie packed with a slip marked "SFPL.ORG" on one side and "QUEEREST. LIBRARY. EVER." on the other. Signs displaying the book covers of landmark works of queer literature bobbed and waved in SFPL marchers' hands, setting off fresh cheers as favorite titles were recognized by the multitudes.
