MJC Library & Learning Center

It's News Literacy Week! And we have a slate of speakers at the L & LC to discuss various aspects of the news--specifically, actual journalism! On Tuesday, February 3, join us as MJC political science faculty Steve Miller discusses the news as the fourth branch of democracy. On Wednesday, February 4, Modesto Focus editor Marijke Rowland discusses how local news connects global and national events to our daily lives and immediate surroundings. And on Thursday, MJC mass communication faculty Kyle Stubbs addresses social media and how it influences our experience of news.

All three presentations take place at the East L & LC at 1:00 p.m.

The Letters Home exhibition, currently on display at both L & LC locations, offers viewers a portal into a linguistic landscape wherein the personal dreams and hopes of refugees and immigrants are woven into a tapestry of shared consciousness.

**THIS FRIDAY: You're invited to the artist reception for the photographer, MJC alumna Thelma Saldivar, this Friday, October 25, at 11:00 a.m. at the East Library & Learning Center.**

The exhibition runs from September 3 through December 13 at the East and West Library & Learning Centers. Open hours for both campus locations are 7:30 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. Monday – Friday. West Campus is also open on Saturdays from 8:15 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

The L & LC is proud to display this exhibition, made possible by a Heartland Creative Corps grant through the Stanislaus Arts Council (SAC). The SAC was funded by the California Creative Corps program developed by the California Arts Council in partnership with the California Legislature.
