Travel Books for Your Summer Vacation

Planning a vacation? Come to the library for guidebooks on a variety of destinations. You'll find books from Frommer's, Fodor's, Rick Steves and other popular travel series. If we don't have the book you need, remember that you can request items from other San Francisco Public Library locations and they'll be delivered to Glen Park branch for you to pick up.

To search for travel books, go to the library catalog at www.sfpl.org. Enter the name of your destination and "guidebooks", for example, "spain guidebooks". If you see a book that interests you, click on "Is it available?" If it's at another location, click on "Request" and enter your library card number and PIN.

Don't forget that we also have language learning materials on CD and online in the Articles and Databases section of sfpl.org.

If you'd like more tips for searching the library catalog, our librarians will be happy to assist you.
