California State Library Press Release: 2.04.2014
The California State Library
has returned to the newly restored Stanley Mosk Library and Courts Building
after four years of extensive renovations and we'd like you to come and visit
us. The building, a remarkable example of Neo-classical architecture located at
914 Capitol Mall, has been fully restored to its original beauty.
Help us celebrate our move
back to this historic building February 11–14, 2014. We have put together a
series of special events, exhibits and presentations for this week of
celebration. The festivities begin Tuesday, February 11, and continue
throughout the week.
We have a series of events
that you might want to check out in the Library Meeting Room on the fifth
floor. There will also be exhibits in Gillis Hall, the main reading room on the
third floor; the Circulation Room also on the third floor; and other locations
throughout the library. You can also go on a tour.
Tours will begin Tuesday,
February 11, at 11 a.m. and will continue until 3:30 p.m. Beginning Wednesday,
February 12, tours will be conducted at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. weekdays only. You
can schedule a tour online on our website.
The presentations in the
Library Meeting Room, Room 500 will be held Wednesday-Friday, February 12-14,
from 9:30 a.m. until 3:45 p.m. Among the topics presented will be a look at how
the government has used comics to get their message out; a fascinating
collection of political memorabilia including buttons, ballots and posters; the
seemingly incongruous relationship between government documents and love; plus
a host of other topics. READ MORE !
