Highlights from this summer's newsletters. Watch for More !
Inspiring History Exciting
Future
Looking back through the
years the Bob Lucas Branch and Let’s Read, Altadena!
have an inspiring history. After being closed for many years the Altadena Library
Branch, formerly named the Arroyo Branch, was reopened in October 1991 with a grand
celebration featuring former Lakers player Michael Cooper as the Guest Speaker.
Since that grand reopening many wonderful
activities and programs have been presented. Credit must be given to the late
Winnie Ragsdale for her leadership in getting the Literacy Program started.

Adult Learner Leadership
Institute
The
Adult Learner Leadership Institute was held on May 3 through 5 at the Cole
Library. Fifteen learners attended from 6 Southern California libraries, with
six learners from Carlsbad.
Participants attended workshops on leadership, networking, and self-esteem. The
learners also gained valuable public speaking skills. The learners’ speeches on
the final day of the Institute were the highlight of the weekend’s activities.
According to one learner, “I now find my-self very confident to speak in front
of people due to the Institute. That is why I liked it a lot.”
