Where to Find Your Next Favorite Book

Written By Jody Vaynshtok

This summer we are making reading a top priority, and embracing the Read 25 Day Today (June 25th). To make this even more fun, we encourage you to support some of San Francisco’s incredible independent bookstores and libraries. Here are a few of our team’s favorites:

📍 Christopher’s Books – Potrero Hill
A neighborhood gem with a well-curated selection and knowledgeable staff who always have a great recommendation.

📍 Green Apple Books – Inner Richmond + Clement Street
A San Francisco institution for a reason. With new and used books and the creakiest floorboards in town, this is a literary playground for all ages.

📍 City Lights Bookstore – North Beach
Famous for its history and radical roots, City Lights remains a haven for poetry, politics, and beautifully bound surprises.

📍 Noe Valley Books – Noe Valley
A cozy, community-driven space with excellent children’s book selections and a warm, welcoming vibe.

📍 SF Public Library – Branches All Over the City
Don’t forget one of the greatest resources in town! With Summer Stride programs, author events, and thousands of free titles for all ages, your local branch is a treasure trove. Start here: sfpl.org
