Redwood City's United Against Hate Week events started this week and will continue with a full slate of library and partner events from November 12-20.

We are happy to announce that Drag storytime is back at the Downtown Library for the second year with Drag Story Hour on Saturday, November 18. Drag Story Hour helps children develop empathy, learn about gender diversity and difference, and tap into their own creativity.

We hope you can attend these (and more) programs meant to build community and give you the tools to stand up against hate:
