What we’re about
The City of Menlo Park's libraries offer a variety of programs, including art events, author talks, info sessions, craft sessions, music events, and more. To make the most of our programming efforts and this meetup page, we’d love for you to get involved. If you come to a program, say hi and let us know you saw it on meetup. If you have an idea for something you’d like to see at the library, send us a message. The library is a great space for community meetups and we’d love to play a role in making those connections!

@menlolibrary on Twitter/X - Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Group: Equal Rites, by Terry PratchettLink visible for attendees
Join us online to discuss Equal Rites, Terry Pratchett’s hilarious tale of the first female wizard.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it’s not half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
Everyone knows there’s no such thing as a female wizard. So when a dying wizard accidentally passes on his staff of power to an eighth daughter of an eighth son, the exclusively masculine world of wizarding is thrown into a tailspin.
Eskarina isn’t afraid of male critics—and she isn’t going to relinquish this unexpected gift.
