Tümünü gör- Portuguese Fado & World MusicBelle Haven Library, Belle Haven Community Campus, Menlo Park, CA
Join us at the library for a beautiful performance of Fado, the soulful and haunting music of Portugal!
Internationally acclaimed singer and composer Ramana Vieira, accompanied by Jeff Furtado on guitarra, David Parker on bass and Vincent Tolliver on violin and mandolin, will share a performance of this passionate, beautiful music.
About Ramana Vieira:
Ramana Vieira has been described by The New York Times as "a rising star in World Music," and by The Boston Globe as an artist who "breathes new life into Fado." With deep roots in Portuguese culture and a creative spirit that blends traditional Fado with contemporary influences, Ramana's performances transport audiences on an emotional journey through love, longing, and nostalgia—what the Portuguese call "saudade."

Belle Haven Library, 100 Terminal Ave., Menlo Park, CA, 94025 - California Book Group: I'm Glad My Mom DiedMenlo Park Library, Menlo Park, CA
We have a brand-new, in-person book discussion group!
The California Book Group meets quarterly, in person, at Menlo Park Library. We discuss books set in California, or by authors who live in or are from California.
Our September read is I'm Glad My Mom Died, by Jennette McCurdy.
The heartbreaking and hilarious memoir shares McCurdy’s struggles as a former child actor (Nickelodeon’s by iCarly and Sam & Cat )—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life.
Dave Itzkoff of The New York Times called McCurdy’s memoir "a coming-of-age story that is alternately harrowing and mordantly funny." The book’s publisher calls it “an inspiring story of resilience, independence, and the joy of shampooing your own hair.”
Upcoming Titles:

@menlolibrary on Twitter/X - Melanated Women Read: Angela Davis: An AutobiographyKatılımcıların görebileceği bağlantı
Melanated Women Read is a book discussion group by and especially for Black women. This month we discuss Angela Davis: An Autobiography, by Angela Davis.
Told with warmth, brilliance, humor and conviction, the book is a classic account of a life in struggle with echoes in our own time. First published and edited by Toni Morrison in 1974, Davis’s autobiography describes her journey from a childhood in Birmingham, Alabama, to one of the most significant political trials of the century; from her political activity in high school to her work with the U.S. Communist Party, the Black Panther Party, and the Soledad Brothers; and from the faculty of the Philosophy Department at UCLA to the FBI's list of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.
About Melanated Women Read:
Melanated Women Read is a virtual book group that is by and especially for Black women. The purpose and focus are on inspiring, uplifting reads, and providing a safe space for Black women to speak, vent and enjoy honest and open conversation.
The group chooses from books written by Black authors. The goal of this community-based group is to introduce a variety of Black writers who will help build a love of reading in a positive environment while meeting new people and gaining new perspectives.
Melanated Women Read meets virtually on the first Monday of each month. This month’s meeting is on a special date, due to the Labor Day holiday.
