Our Upcoming Events


Premier Events

Kepler's Literary Foundation offers a nationally recognized program of live cultural and literary events for the general public that covers a range of global and local topics. 

These events feature a wide variety of public figures, including historians, social commentators, scientists and science writers, physicians, scholars, journalists, educators, novelists, chefs, business and technology leaders, and many other subject matter experts from around the world. 

Residents of our community interact with recognized experts face to face and learn from their ideas, insights, and experiences. 

Youth Events

Kepler's Literary Foundation produces literary events at Kepler's and in local schools, including the public schools serving East Palo Alto and the Belle Haven neighborhood in Menlo Park. 

The goal of the youth program is to ignite a passion in students for reading and writing.  Outstanding writers, artists, and original thinkers meet face-to-face with students to discuss the importance and power of storytelling. 

These programs encourage students to tackle the challenges intrinsic to their own lives and communities and to find their voice through their own writing.
