SFPL: Books Not Bans presents: The Transformative Power of Fiction
October 14, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Co-presented with San Francisco Public Library
Reading fiction makes us more empathic, more connected, and more resilient. Fiction reminds us that there is more to the world than what we see, and reminds us that we are not alone. This panel will explore the powerful impact fiction has on us as individuals and collectively. Featuring Charlie Jane Anders, Kate Folk, Elena Marie Hammond, and more. Moderated by Books Not Bans’ Becka Robbins. FREE, $10-15 suggested donation
Books Not Bans is a tiny org that sends free boxes of our favorite queer & banned books to folks who need them the most—for free. Learn more at booksnotbans.org
