Well, come down to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library in downtown San Jose and check out this amazing building! There are 8 floors to wander through, interesting artworks just waiting to be discovered and of course a wonderful Children's Room to visit.

• January  7: ABC to Drawing - This is a new program being offered by our wonderful volunteer Vidhi. Vidhi teaches the children how to create pictures using the letters of the alphabet and numbers. In this first program she taught the kids how to draw a monkey, bee, tiger and lion. The children and adults who attended had a great time.
