An exhilarating blend of autobiography and mythology, of world and self, of hot rage and cool analysis. As a girl, Kingston lives in two confounding worlds: California to which her parents have immigrated and China of her mother’s “talk stories.”
The fierce and wily women warriors of her mother’s tales clash jarringly with the harsh reality of female oppression out of which they come.
Get ready for some great conversations, good food and tons of fun!

Honor loved ones who have passed with a community Día de Los Muertos Altar at either the Main Library or Children’s Branch.
Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is an ancient, Mexican and Mexican American holiday, with a historically rich tradition that integrates pre-Columbian and Catholic customs. It is often celebrated in Mexico on November 1st and 2nd. The celebrations are based on the belief that the souls of the ones gone can come back to this world on these days.
The Day of the Dead Altars also known as Ofrendas are the most prominent feature in the celebration because they show the souls the way to their home. Altars make the souls (animas) feel welcomed and show them they have not been forgotten. OFPL invites the local community to add photos, messages, and symbolic items to our Altar or “Ofrenda” during the month of October.
