SUMMARY:Documentary: "I didn't see you there"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the critically acclaimed documentary “I Didn’t See You There” from Bay Area filmmaker and wheelchair user Reid Davenport in honor of Disability Pride month. Winner of Sundance Film Festival – U.S. Documentary Directing Award\, Davenport brings an urgently needed storytelling eye to filmmaking with this powerful and emotional piece. \nAs a visibly disabled person\, Davenport sets out to make a film about how he sees the world.

Unflinching\, “I didn’t see you there” forces the viewer to confront the spectacle and invisibility of disability. \nTo view the trailer and learn more about the film\, visit I Didn’t See You There

SUMMARY:On the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains with Pria Anand
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, July 31\, 2025 Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm Presenter: Pria Anand Location:  Online   \nRegistration is required. Click this link to attend the virtual event. \nYou’re invited to a fascinating conversation with neurologist and author Pria Anand to chat about her new book The Electric Mind: A Neurologist on the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains (forthcoming June 10\, 2025). \nThe Electric Mind tells the stories we tell ourselves about our brains\, and the stories our brains tell us. \nA girl believes she has been struck blind for stealing a kiss. A mother watches helplessly as each of her children is replaced by a changeling. A woman is haunted each month by the same four chords of a single song. In neurology\, illness is inextricably linked with narrative\, the clues to unraveling these mysteries hidden in both the details of a patient's story and the tells of their body. \nStories are etched into the very structure of our brains\, coded so deeply that the impulse for storytelling survives and even surges after the most devastating injuries. But our brains are also porous—the stories they concoct are shaped by cultural narratives about bodies and illness that permeate the minds of doctors and patients alike. In the history of medicine\, some stories are heard\, while others—the narratives of women\, of Black and brown people\, of displaced people\, of disempowered people—are too often dismissed. \nIn The Mind Electric\, neurologist Pria Anand reveals—through case study\, history\, fable\, and memoir—all that the medical establishment has overlooked: the complexity and wonder of brains in health and in extremis\, and the vast gray area between sanity and insanity\, doctor and patient\, and illness and wellness\, each separated from the next by the thin veneer of a different story. \nMoving from the Boston hospital where she treats her patients\, to her childhood years in India\, to Isla Providencia in the Caribbean and to the Republic of Guinea in West Africa\, she demonstrates again and again the compelling paradox at the heart of neurology: that even the most peculiar symptoms can show us something universal about ourselves as humans. Register now to join this intriguing virtual conversation! \nNot able to attend live? You can access the recording for this event and all Online Author Series events on our website shortly after they conclude. \nAbout the Author: Pria Anand is a neurologist at the Boston Medical Center and an Assistant Professor at the Boston University School of Medicine. She is a graduate of Yale University and Stanford Medical School\, and she trained in neurology\, neuro-infectious diseases\, and neuroimmunology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Massachusetts General Hospital. \n \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Mountain View Library.

SUMMARY:Crafty Book Club (Ages 10-13)
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, July 30\, 2025 Time: 4:00pm – 5:00pm  Location:  Children’s Room   \nIn this book club\, we will discuss the book\, Aniana del Mar Jumps In by Jasminne Méndez. After our discussion\, we will do an artsy activity to bring it all together. \nParticipants must have read at least part of the book in order to join in on the event. Registration opens 3 weeks prior to the event.  \nAbout this book:  \nA novel-in-verse by about a 12-year-old Dominican American swimmer who is diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis. \nAniana del Mar belongs in the water like a dolphin belongs to the sea. But she and Papi keep her swim practices and meets hidden from Mami\, who has never recovered from losing someone she loves to the water years ago. That is\, until the day Ani's stiffness and swollen joints mean she can no longer get out of bed\, and Ani is forced to reveal just how important swimming is to her. Mami forbids her from returning to the water but Ani and her doctor believe that swimming along with medication will help Ani manage her disease. What follows is the journey of a girl who must grieve who she once was in order to rise like the tide and become the young woman she is meant to be.
