John (he/him) :vbike:<p>I love that our library has such a wide and available set of audiobooks. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SFPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SFPL</span></a> does excellent work, and I’m grateful to have access to it!

Alias Messier<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sfba.social/@nwchapman" class="u-url mention">@<span>nwchapman</span></a></span> Thank you! That is reassuring, provided nothing’s gone sideways. It looks like there’s local legal code to back it up, and that’s the kind of seriousness about privacy I’d expect from <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SFPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SFPL</span></a>. </p><p>Overdrive/Libby does feature an option to read/listen in Kindle, which of course is Amazon, which I assume if you opt for means you’ve lost the privacy game. (I can’t remember whether I concluded that from reading the privacy pol some years back or just from, y’know, Bezosness.) I wonder if that might be why OP ran into some issues.</p>

stevenray<p>I watched this movie tonight on Port wine. It’s history, how it’s made, the major families involved (both Portuguese and British) and of course the Douro region where the grapes are grown. A good introduction. 👍<br /><a href="http://www.ayearinport.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="">ayearinport.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Yet another winner on the Kanopy streaming service from the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SFPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SFPL</span></a> <br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wine</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>portugal</span></a></p>

Niles Essanay SilentFilmMuseum<p>There's also a very nice model trolley. Also attaching a picture from the Market St Ry Co's company newsletter, The Inside Track, from the 1920's, showing maybe the same model (of one of their in-house build streetcars). <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SFPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SFPL</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SFLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SFLibrary</span></a></p>
