I heart me some MLK library. Here’s what’s going on there right now:

• The library is celebrating its 5th year anniversary all month. The big kickoff event was on the 6th, and naturally I miss it. Happy birthday to the largest library west of the Mississippi River, and the only library in the nation that is both university- AND city-owned!
• Guest speaker Ralph G. Latza will help explain to parents the steps they need to take to fund their child’s education. Free. Tue, Sept. 16, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM; Room 255, 2nd Floor.
• For the business-minded amongst you, the Entrepreneurial Society will host Tony Calleja and Jayan Ramankutti, both seasoned entrepreneurs who will impart hard-earned wisdom, I’m sure. Mon, Sep 15 6:15 PM - 8:00 PM; 2nd Floor, Rooms 225/229, check http://www.cob.sjsu.edu/svce/events/. As a side note, the Entrepreneurial Society is the student group responsible for putting on the Silicon Valley Neat Ideas Fair, which showcases SJSU student innovations and business ideas. It’s actually very interesting, each and every year.
• As I previously (barely) mentioned, there is a teen digital photography exhibit called “My World, My Community” that is on display until Sept. 30 on the 4th floor. Teens spent 10 weeks in the summer exploring their surroundings and taking pictures. And as you can see from my very digital, very not-quality camera phone, it has a lot of creative energy , and it’s the kind of project that reminds you why people delve into visual arts in the first place. So go see it in person and support the youth of the community. NOW!
