Chrisann Brennan, high school sweetheart to late Apple CEO Steve Jobs and mother to his daughter, Lisa, will pen the next great remembrance of revered tech guru. Brennan, who currently works as a painter in San Francisco, met Jobs during their formative high school years in Cupertino and later lived in a cabin with the man responsible for the largest tech company in the world.

Shortly after Jobs' death in 2011, Brennan published a piece in Rolling Stone about her late meditation partner in which she said that the 17-year-old Steve "had more than a touch of the cool sophistication of a Beat poet." She gave birth to their daughter Lisa Brennan-Jobs while she was in her early twenties. Although Jobs originally eschewed fatherhood, he later named a computer after his offspring.

The New York Times reports, Brennan's memoir has been bought by St. Martin's Press. According to the publisher it will cover their relationship, the founding of Apple and why everyone loved the guy so much. It is expected to hit iPads and bookstores sometime next year.

Ever since the SFist Reads column turned us back onto the awesomeness of checking books out of the SF Public Library, we've been big fans of the First Stop area of the Main Library, where the library put all their books they'd acquired in the last two years. We've spent many a pleasant few hours checking out the latest memoirs, or all the books in the 300 section, or randomly pulling out titles in the New Fiction section to see if they look entertaining. It's like browsing your TiVo listings for fun shows, only wrapped in library plastic!

So when First Stop disappeared for the Main Library First Floor renovation around September, we were bummed, but eager for its swift return. But the renovation is apparently done now -- and it looks like First Stop isn't coming back??? WHAT??? The new First Floor of the Main Library will now host all fiction and genre books, the popular DVD section, and new spiffy ways to check books out -- but where's First Stop going to be??? We're freaking out!!

We're hoping against hope that we're just panicking for no reason and First Stop is just getting moved to another floor -- but we cannot find its new location anywhere on the SF Public Library website. We're totally about to cry! Can someone let us know, either if First Stop is gone forever (sniff!), or if it's just moving someplace else?

The official First Floor reopening party is set for Jan. 16. But it won't be a party without First Stop! We're typing through our tears!

This is all part of the autobiographical-supporting First Person Arts' Sixth Annual Memoir-Writing Contest, and this year's theme this year is "Objects of My Affections." You can send in either a Short Memoir (up to 3000 words) or a Short Short Memoir (up to 500 words), and the winner gets published in the Philadelphia City Paper and a free trip to Philly for the First Person Festival in November.

The judges are pretty top-notch too -- the guy who edits "Modern Love," that cringe-inducing overly-personal personal column in the Sunday Styles section of the New York Times, and three book editors from publishing houses that specialize in memoirs.

The rules to enter are here -- good luck! Bring home the prize for the Bay Area!
