Libraries Worth Visiting: The Uncensored Library, Minecraft

"Creating this project in what many perceive as a child’s game may seem incongruous, but the creators realized that while their Blogs, news articles, and many news websites are being heavily censored by their governments to the extent that many fear for their lives, people have access to Minecraft uncensored. It is a wildly successful platform across the world and has been so since 2009. Minecraft has more than 145 million active players of all ages every month and it is a platform that is open and accessible to everyone, even to those in countries with little or no press freedom. It is a backdoor of sorts for journalists and others to exchange news and ideas freely."

Something Queer at the Library
 
Southside Library Community Room
Tuesday, October 13, 2026
6:00pm–7:30pm

Something Queer at the Library
Safe harbor to explore LGBTQ+ literature

John Jason Phillips - The UltraSheen Mysteries
In the 1980’s, feeling a need to establish his authentic life as a queer man, Phillips temporarily left the theatre world where he had made his career and moved to San Francisco. There, he immersed his life in the queer culture, which was creating a world never before seen. He became a graphic designer and mural artist, creating numerous murals through the Castro area and elsewhere in the city.  To make ends meet in an uncertain environment, he became a cab driver. Many years later, his memories of this experience would compel him to write.

In the late 70’s and during the 80’s, San Francisco was a troubled city. The assassination of Harvey Milk, the queer politial icon; the rage of Jim Jones reaping the souls of some 800 Bay area residents in the jungles of Guyana; the riots of the queer community, after the killer of Milk was given a light sentence;  the Zodiac Killer; political and cultural upheaval and a major cocaine epidemic – not to mention the rise of the scourge of AIDS – Phillips saw it all, up close, from behind the wheel of his cab. These experiences inspired his mystery series, The UltraSheen Mysteries. Headshot of author John Jason Phillips. by @sfnmpl

Aztec dances are a form of prayer that channel energy to the Aztec gods, connecting the earthly plane and the cosmos. The dances have different representations, all expressing gratitude for nature and respect for the four elements: earth, water, fire, and wind. Each step has spiritual meaning, often marking the four directions and the earth and sky. All ages are welcome!

Be Aware! Death Lurks on Our Shelves ... 

"... [S]omewhat humorously the story goes that the reaper's jaw was knocked off by a late night intruder sometime in the 1800’s when the intruder's lantern light shone on the figure of the reaper and the intruder believed it was an actual ghoul coming for them."
