Bay Area Open Mics Event Link Park Branch is San Francisco's oldest public library, having opened on October 29th, 1909. It's welcoming, unobtrusive facade is no accident: its architects designed it to blend in charmingly with the homes around it. This open mic is both in person and online for poets, writers, songwriters and actors. This is an acoustic-only event in the community room of the Park Branch Library, downstairs at 1833 Page Street (between Cole and Shrader). They set up a small podium mic (so zoom participants can hear). They also offer, "Food for the body, the mind, and the spirit (sorry, we can't provide food for the body to those online)." Host Richard Ivanhoe usually posts a link to the event within a week of it occurring, have a look at his Facebook event feed to see if he's posted the latest event.
