Library Stakeholder Report
Jennifer Weeks, County Librarian
A Visit from a Civil Rights Icon
The Library District is continuing to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with special booklists,
displays, and events. This year’s theme is “Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation.” One of the
best examples of the power of unity is the organizing efforts by the United Farm Workers (UFW)
beginning in the mid-1960s. SCCLD is proud to announce UFW co-founder Dolores Huerta will be the
focus of a new exhibit at Gilroy Library.
The exhibit, titled Dolores Huerta: Revolution in the Fields/Revolución en los Campos, was
organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the
Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery and will be featured in the Gilroy Library from Saturday,
November 5, 2022 through Monday, January 23, 2023. This exhibition received federal support from
the Latino Initiatives Pool, administered by the Smithsonian Latino Center.
In addition to the exhibit, Dolores Huerta will make a special appearance as part of a panel discussion
with film director and actor Luis Valdez, and educator Francisco Jimenez. Spanish translation will be
provided for those who wish it. Aztec Dance group Danza Conchera Nauhcampa will perform at 1 pm
before the event, with Mariachi Tapatio slated to perform after the panel presentation at 3:30 pm. The
event is fully booked, but you can join the waitlist.
