SUMMARY:Art of the African Diaspora Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 100th Year Commemoration of Black History Month with San Jose Public Library!  \nExplore the 2026 Art of the African Diaspora Exhibit in the DiNapoli Gallery\, located on the second floor of the King Library from Sunday\, January 11 – Sunday\, February 22\, 2026. \n \nAn Artist Reception complete with a meet and greet\, panel interview and light refreshments will be held on Sunday\, February 22\, 2026 from 2 – 3:30 pm in Room 225 (Second Floor.) \n \n\n \n \nAbout the Art of the African Diaspora (AOTD) \nArt of the African Diaspora (AOTD) is the longest running event of its kind in the Bay Area. It originated from a salon for African American artists known as Colors of Black that was organized in 1989 by artist and professor Marie Johnson Calloway. Over the next twenty-five years the exhibition ensured the increased visibility for African American artists in the Bay Area. In 2019\, the organization became aware of the necessity to incorporate a broader vision of the African Diaspora and consequently renamed the organization Art of the African Diaspora. AOTD\, in partnership with Richmond Art Center\, supports artists of African descent in the Bay Area through representation\, professional development\, and building a creative community. \nTo spread its message\, influence\, and to increase visibility of African American artists in the Bay Area\, AOTD has created satellite exhibits in various locations throughout the Bay. AOTD does open calls for artists and creates exhibits to be displayed in time to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr and to honor Black History Month. San Jose Public Library has been a satellite for AOTD since 2023\, debuting in the Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. Library in 2023 and traveling to the Dr. Roberto Cruz Alum Rock Library in 2024 and returning to the Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr Library in 2025. \n \nFree Program. No Registration Required. All Ages Welcome \nADA Accommodation Requests

SUMMARY:Documentary: UNAFF presents The Librarians
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of The Librarians\, which premiered at The Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Kim A Snyder\, who is also a producer\, and produced by Janique L Robillard and Maria Cuomo-Cole\, this 83-minute documentary examines new strictures on school librarians. Book banning was nothing new to the world\, but in October 2021\, Texas State Representative Matt Krause issued a list of 850 books for schools to review for obscene and race-related content\, urging officials to develop standards to ensure “pornography” and anything that may make students feel “discomfort\, guilt or anguish” be removed. As the culture wars rage\, parental rights groups dig in nationwide and pre-existing book review protocols are overturned by school boards across the country. A chilling effect sets in as book-banning crusaders become more coordinated and vulnerable librarians are targeted ferociously. View the trailer here. \nKim A Snyder’s most recent film\, Death by Numbers\, was Oscar-nominated for Best Short Documentary. Prior films include Us Kids\, Newtown\, Lessons from a School Shooting\, Welcome to Shelbyville\, I Remember Me and Trevor. Documentary filmmaker and creative producer Janique L Robillard’s recent producing credits include Death by Numbers and 1000 Time. Maria Cuomo Cole most recently produced the Academy Award-nominated documentary short film Death by Numbers\,   as well as The Librarians and  Us Kids\, all in collaboration with director/producer Kim A. Snyder. The film team also partnered on Lessons from a School Shooting: Notes from Dunblane and Newtown. She also produced The Hunting Ground. \nUnited Nations Association Film Festival presents documentaries on topical subjects. Jasmina Bojic\, Stanford lecturer and International Documentary Film Festival UNAFF founder and director\, facilitates discussions with filmmakers and producers. For more information\, please visit www.unaff.org. \nRegistration is not required\, but registering means you will receive an email reminder the day before. \nThis documentary is the first in a series of three for Silicon Valley Reads. Register for the following programs through the links below: \n\nThursday\, January 22: The Librarians\nThursday\, February 26: How to Build a Library\nWednesday\, March 4: Labors of Love: The Life and Legacy of Henrietta Szold

SUMMARY:Jade: Stone of Heaven
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, January 22\, 2026 Time: 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm Presenter: Jane Dalisay Location:  Online   \nRegistration is required. Sign up below to receive the Zoom information on the morning of the event.  \nIf you thought diamonds were forever\, you should consider jade. For millennia\, this stone has been valued\, revered\, and imbued with meaning by many Asian cultures. Admired by emperors\, praised by scholars\, and frequently used as an ornament to enhance physical beauty\, jade is believed to have life-prolonging qualities and considered by some to be more precious than gold. Over thousands of years\, artists have drawn inspiration from nature and creatively worked jade into various sizes\, forms\, and shapes; meanwhile\, many layers of meaning have been associated with the essence and quality of jade objects. This program presents the story of jade\, beginning with a brief introduction to how the stone is worked\, followed by an appreciation of select jade pieces with a focus on their function as well as their symbolic and auspicious meanings. Presented by the Asian Art Museum. \n \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Mountain View Library.
