Adult Services family friendly Summer Reading

Join us for a family-friendly demonstration of the Japanese martial art of kendo. Literally translated as “the way of the sword,” kendo traces its origins to feudal Japan and today features wooden swords, as well as uniforms and armor fashioned after those worn by samurai.

The event is free and open to all, and will take place in the auditorium of our permanent location, 6701 Delmar Blvd.

This program is presented as part of the 2023 Adult Summer Reading Big Book Challenge, featuring The Tale of Genji and The Priory of the Orange Tree. For more information, visit our Adult Summer Reading page.
