The Brautigan Library, an archive of literature written by unpublished authors, was established in the early 1990s on lower College Street as a brainchild of local entrepreneur Todd Lockwood?. It is based on a "library" described in Richard Brautigan's The Abortion: An Historical Romance 1966. Since 1996 the entire Brautigan collection (totaling a few hundred thin volumes) has been housed on the 2nd floor of the Fletcher Free.
Lockwood has negotiated with the San Francisco Public Library to arrange a permanent home for the Brautigan Library at the Presidio Branch of the SFPL, the exact location where Brautigan placed his fictional 24-hour-a-day library in The Abortion. The books have been carefully packed and prepared for their trip west, and the Fletcher Free Library is honored to have been part of the process of getting these books placed safely in their proper home.
