The San Francisco Public Library is ushering in a spring filled with arts, culture and civic engagement with a pair of weekend events in an effort to boost the area surrounding its main branch.

The Main Library on Saturday will host an afternoon of performances, storytelling and a visual art exhibition featuring formerly incarcerated artists in recognition of the second issue of Tapped-in Magazine, a publication by the Returning Citizens Association, an Oakland-based nonprofit supporting formerly incarcerated people’s transitions back into society.
