Dear Friends of IPLSF:
We have always said that the city of San Francisco merits a poetry library, a haven where poets, students, educators and the general literary-loving public can find that rare first-edition or upload an archival poetry reading from the 1950s. Now you can help make poetry available to our community and beyond by giving an end-of-the year contribution. IPLSF is a registered 501c3 non-profit, so your gift is tax-deductible. - Post Continued
