Celebrate Filipino American Art and Culture at MV Library

On Saturday, Sept. 26, at 11: 30 a.m., the Mountain View Public Library will welcome authors from Beyond Lumpia, Pansit and Seven Manangs Wild.

This anthology, from the Filipino National Historical Society’s East Bay Chapter, is described by the editors:

Beyond Lumpia, Pansit and Seven Manangs Wild features many stories about our second, third, and fourth generation Filipinos, their experiences on how they identify or not as Filipinos in America. The narratives reflect the nature of living influenced by multiple cultures and some reveal the pride felt by the authors in their Filipino heritage ... Instead of always giving in to American hamburgers and hot dogs, the act of longing and savoring adobo, lumpia, and pansit helps us resist complete assimilation and through our senses helps us retain elements of our unique identity.

Authors will read and sign books, and attendees will enjoy a sampling of delicious Filipino snacks.

As always, events at the Mountain View Library are free of charge and open to residents and non-residents alike.

Mountain View Public Library is at 585 Franklin Street, Mountain View, CA, 94041
