Book Redistribution

The San Francisco Public Library receives grants to purchase new books every year. However, there is not enough space in the overcrowded library system to house all these new additions, therefore, the library is forced to take many books that are still in good condition out of circulation. GRYPHONS Leo Club, with the assistance of Lion Helen Marte of our host San Francisco Fil-Am Lions Club, has collaborated with the San Francisco Public Library System to redistribute these used books back to the community. These books are generally handed out for free during the Lion's Health Fairs, which take place over the winter almost every week to give out free flu and Hepatitis B vaccines, as well as glucose screening and other services.
