2025 marks the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, widely considered one of the most important works in American literature. While this tale of sordid love affairs, rich criminals, and shocking killings has sold over 25 million copies worldwide and remains one of the most assigned books in American classrooms, many readers are surprised to learn that it flopped when it was first published. So, how did it go from failure to classic? Join us to celebrate the Gatsby centennial with a public presentation by Palomar College English professor Adam Meehan, who will talk about why the book is as American as apple pie (did we mention the sordid love affairs, rich criminals, and shocking killings?) and why it still resonates today.Visit: https://sandiego.librarymarket.com/event/great-gatsby-100-433255

Betty Boop has been a cultural icon for nearly 100 years. In collaboration with Fleischer Studios, this one-of-a-kind exhibit embarks on a nostalgic journey, starting with Betty’s beginnings to her rise to international popularity—and what makes her a fan favorite today.First introduced in 1930, Betty Boop was created by Max Fleischer for his “Talkartoons” series, the world’s first animated “talkies,” which Max’s company, Fleischer Studios, produced for Paramount Studios. While she first appeared in the animated film Dizzy Dishes as a dog-like singer, she quickly lost her canine features and was given the name Betty Boop in 1931, making her the first female animated screen star in history. Personifying the fabulous flappers and jazz artists of the day, she was also the earliest animated character to be on broadcast television, drawn live on-air by creator Max Fleischer.Also highlighted are the eight women who have voiced Betty over the years, and history and animation enthusiasts will appreciate the focus on innovative industry pioneers Max and Dave Fleischer, founders of Fleischer Studios and inventors of the rotoscope.Get TicketsMuseum Hours: Monday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Tuesday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Wednesday – ClosedThursday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Friday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Saturday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Sunday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
