Shakespeare Fellow Jack Krepps will present “Shakespeare and the Revolution.” Jack is part of the American Revolution & Constitution History Project at San Diego State University. In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, Jack has conducted exclusive research on the impact of Shakespeare and his works on the Founders and on early American society as a whole. Further, he has evaluated the correlation between Shakespeare and the events that unfolded in 1776, as well as existing Shakespearian notions regarding “independence” and other relevant governmental issues.

The Mission Valley Branch Library is one of the thirty-five branches of the San Diego Public Library system. The 19,760 sq. ft. facility was opened July 20, 2002. The Library received an Orchid Award from the San Diego Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for "Best Institutional Design" and "Best Divine Details" for the lighted tree columns/sculptures throughout the facility. The Library includes a large community meeting room, seminar rooms, a children's library, an outdoor patio with a children's garden which has a flowing river sculpture, a computer lab and a mezzanine and terrace. Its excellent collection of books and media, central location, and close proximity to retailers and a trolley stop have made it a popular Library destination for many San Diegans.
