MJC Library & Learning Center

Spring 2026 semester started last week, and the L & LC is a busy student hub! Amid this lively environment, we've been planning some special activities for the community:

* LETTERS HOME exhibition by artist Thelma Salomon-Saldivar runs through the end of Spring semester. On January 30 at 11:30 a.m., join us for a reception to meet the artist, experience the works on display, and enjoy community and refreshments.

* FEBRUARY 2-6 IS NATIONAL NEWS LITERACY WEEK. Join the L & LC in recognizing this especially important week by attending one or all of our talks by special guests that week:
--Tues. Feb. 3 - MJC Political Science faculty Steve Miller: Democracy and the Fourth Branch of Government
--Weds. Feb. 4 - Modesto Focus editor Marijke Rowland: All News Is Local
--Thurs. Feb 5 - MJC Mass Communication faculty Kyle Stubbs: Social Media, the News, and You.

We can't wait to see you here at the L & LC! More information about the above events in comments.
