Teen Library Council

First Meeting: Friday, 9/24 at 4pm

This group comes together and has freedom to decide what they would like to do with their time. In the past the Teen Library Council has discussed books, movies, and music; done library displays and book reviews; helped with library events; planned and implemented programs for children and/or teens and given input on library issues related to teens. If you are in 7th-12th grade and interested in joining or have questions please email Jennie at jwaskey@townofsananselmo.org.

Your San Anselmo Public Library is excited to participate in September 11, 2001:
The Day That Changed the World, an educational exhibition that presents the history of 9/11, its origins, and its ongoing implications through the personal stories of those who witnessed and survived the attacks. Told across 14 posters, this exhibition includes archival photographs and images of artifacts from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum's permanent collection.

The exhibition will be on view September 1 -- September 24 at the San Anselmo Public Library on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 10am-4pm.

Alliums: Onions, Garlic, and Leeks, Oh My!

Thursday, October 7 at 1pm on Zoom

Unravel the mystery of growing garlic and onions! When you shop in a market, you may find one or two kinds of garlic -- onion varieties are frequently just as limited. But, if you grow your own alliums, you open the doors to new flavors, shapes, and culinary uses of these savory vegetables. Marin Master Gardeners Jenine Stilson and Laura Colvin will discuss the best cultural practices for growing these cool season gems in your garden as well as how to keep them for months.

Art Talk Tuesday
Judy Chicago: A Retrospective

Tuesday, October 12 at 12pm on Zoom

Join us for a celebration of the life and work of pioneering feminist artist Judy Chicago. Docent Victoria Kirby will explore Chicago's full body of work, from her early forays into minimalism to her current work that addresses mortality and environmental issues. Judy Chicago: A Retrospective, an exhibition on display at the de Young Museum August 28, 2021 -- January 9, 2022, is a fitting tribute to an artist who has spent a lifetime fighting for social justice and female expression.
