FEATURED HISTORICAL PHOTO COUNTY PARK LOVE-IN Crowds of friends, lovers, and strangers gathered on June 4, 1967 at Arcadia County Park to express universal love at the “love-in” held there. The summer of 1967 is often referred to as the “Summer of Love.” What started off as a hippie counterculture movement in San Francisco quickly spread to other parts of the country, like here in Arcadia. The basic defining principle of the hippie era was the belief that humans are free to do whatever they want, as long as they remain socially responsible. Hippies espoused the ideals of peace and love. Photograph by Milton Bell. If you are interested in Arcadia’s rich history, make an appointment to see the Arcadia History Room located at the Arcadia Public Library or visit the Gilb Museum of Arcadia Heritage. The Arcadia History Room is shown by appointment only. Call 626-821-5569 for more information on the Library’s collection or 626-574-5440 for more information about the Museum’s collection.

During that time the Library’s Bookstore will stay open until 7:00 p.m. There will also be Friends of the Library book sales in March and April. Friends of the Library membership is down, but they continue to work on this.

REPORTS FROM THE DIRECTOR Announcements / Statements / Future Agenda Items Director’s Update: Library Services Manager Alba conducted the report as Director Bradley was traveling back to the Library from a Southern California Library Cooperative Director’s forum in Santa Monica. Library Services Manager Alba announced that there was a correction to the December statistical report as the circulation counts for the teen and juvenile were transposed. Director Bradley discussed the family restroom project and explained that the $500,000 construction cost is too high for the City to support. There is also a time constraint with the grant as the project would need to be completed by the end of this year. She will likely have to give back the grant to the State Library and wait until another grant opportunity is available. Monthly Statistical Report: November/December 2023: Trustee Seaver commented that the report reflected numbers from the time of the pandemic but requested numbers for pre-COVID. Library Services Manager Alba responded that the reports do not reflect pre-COVID numbers, but the statistics have steadily increased. Library Services Manager Alba explained that Passport Service revenue was a little down due to staffing shortages. Trustee Carter requested money for the English Conversation Class and commented that there used to be funding for it. Library Services Manager Alba announced that Library Services Manager Pat Smith retired on December 2, 2023, but continues to volunteer for the English Conversation Class program. Monthly Narrative Report: November/December 2023: Trustee Seaver complimented that the November and December narratives were good. Library Services Manager Alba acknowledged that Director Bradley included a “Fun Fact” into the reports and acknowledged a photo of Council Liaison Cao, in the December 2023 monthly report, “pushing in” the new fire truck at Station 107. Financial Report: November/December 2023: Trustee Seaver commented that he cannot pull any useful information from the financial report. Library Services Manager Alba shared that supply and services spending is on point and staff is keeping up with spending. Staff Update: Library Services Manager Alba announced that Children’s Services Supervisor Petra Morris will serve as Acting Library Services Manager and Maxine Morishita has been promoted to Library Technician I in Adult and Teen Services. The Library will need to do a new recruitment for the Adult Services Principal Librarian as a conditional offer was made during the first recruitment but the candidate declined the offer. Trustee Seaver asked what happens to funds from vacant positions. Dr. Cao explained that funds go back to the City’s general funds. He added that all municipalities are having difficulty recruiting employees as they are competing with other municipalities. Library Services Manager Alba announced that six new Library Aides were hired in October 2023 and four conditional offers were recently made. A new Passport Clerk, Hannah Pennington, was also hired.
