Introducing...Cinema Club! A new monthly program which includes a film screening followed by a community discussion for cinephiles and movie lovers interested in having thought-provoking conversations about cinema. This month's featured film is "Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)" (2021) in celebration of Black History Month. A powerful and transporting documentary—part music film, part historical record—created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture, and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just 100 miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park. The footage was largely forgotten—until now. "Summer of Soul" shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present. The feature includes concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly and the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, and more. 1h 58m. Rated PG-13. Light refreshments provided. Held on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. Each February, San Diego Public Library honors Black History Month, by celebrating culture and community, and recognizing the achievements—as well as the continuing struggles—of Black Americans Visit: https://sandiego.librarymarket.com/event/cinema-club-461996

Through the Twilight comes a new entry in the Vampire's Diary...Love Can Suck is a series of improvised teen / vampire love stories for February! This Valentines season, all the teen angst and vampire tropes will be included. Get ready to laugh your fangs out.

Comedy For Valentines — the ultimate Valentine's date night that skips the awkward silences, and passive-aggressive gift debates... and replaces them with non-stop, brutally honest relationship humor that hits way too close to home. Hosted by the sharp-witted Tim X Lee — the former biologist turned comedy veteran who's been delighting smart crowds with clever, observational humor and impeccable timing for years — this show brings just the right mix of brainy laughs and relatable absurdity to set the tone. Headlining the night is Joe Sib, the high-energy storyteller and punk-rock veteran (co-founder of SideOneDummy Records, former frontman of Wax and 22 Jacks) who has mastered the art of turning life's wild detours — from youthful rebellion to modern fatherhood — into hilarious, karmic stand-up gold. Expect raw, engaging stories delivered with infectious enthusiasm and zero filter. Whether you're single and thriving, coupled and questioning everything, or just looking for a Valentine's escape that doesn't involve overpriced prix-fixe dinners, Comedy For Valentines delivers big laughs, zero pressure, and the kind of comedy that reminds you love (and life) is ridiculous in the best way possible.
