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 - Museum of Us - Race: Are We So Different?Link visible for attendees
We’re paying a virtual visit to the Museum of Us in San Diego! We’ll get a look at the museum’s award-winning exhibit, “Race: Are We So Different?”
“Race” is a short word with a long history. Yet, most of what we think about race is based on myth, folklore, or assumptions unsupported by genetics or biology. No one is free of misunderstandings about race, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Our guest presenter from the museum will share an eye-opening look at human nature and biology.
About The Museum of Us:
The Museum of Us, located in San Diego's Balboa Park, explores the human experience through unique, interactive exhibitions. The museum's mission is to inspire human connections by exploring the human experience, and support visitors in becoming agents of positive change.
