A power outage caused damage to the server switch and impacted the building gate count. Information Systems Services worked with the City’s IT department to replace the damaged server. Two aging battery back-ups were also installed to insure consistent power. Public Works installed a new chiller in the Library to help regulate the temperature throughout the building. Adult Programs, Classes, and Technology Literacy: Adult and Teen Services offered a joint Herstory Zines program, in honor of National Women’s History Month. Ten patrons attended the program and made mini zines or self-published and locally produced “books”. Five CraftABLE kits were distributed and included materials to draw a self-portrait, in honor of National Intellectual and Cognitive Disabilities Awareness Month. Bookish, the monthly book discussion group, gathered and discussed If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha, a fiction book about four women in Seoul, South Korea and the societal pressures they face. Smart Squad continued to support the Library’s digital literacy goals, providing 16 people with technological support throughout the month. The International Film Program showed Free and Easy, a Chinese language movie about a middle-aged salesman who walks around selling his magical soap to a few passers-by, but smelling his unusual wares costs them more than they bargained for. The English Conversation Classes continued to pick up momentum with 67 participants taking part in the four classes this month. The program offers students the opportunity to hone their conversational skills while doing pronunciation drills, reading, and discussing articles from the monthly Easy English News, and discussing life experiences. Teen Programing: Teen Zone returned to the Library’s Auditorium and board games as well as craft supplies were set out for students to enjoy. 181 teens visited Teen Zone throughout the month. A new volunteer began her Teen Zone shifts and expressed that she enjoyed studying in the space. Teen Graphic Design club members borrowed Library iPads and created stickers for the upcoming summer reading program. Teen Advisory Group (TAG) volunteers also made buttons from teen- created designs. Five members attended the monthly TAG meeting and discussed upcoming breaks as well as the bi-annual De-Stress Fest. March Activity Visitors: Holds Processed: 2,228 Physical Items Checked Out: 39,024 eBooks/Audiobooks/Magazines Downloaded: 5,108 Programs/Attendance: 48 / 1,130 Passports Issued/Photos Issued/Questions Answered: 160 | 80 | 401 Children’s Programming and Class Visits: A new Toddler Activity Island was introduced to the Children’s picture book area.

Children’s Services received 49 summer teen volunteer applications. Following the April 6 submission deadline, volunteer candidates will be invited for interviews in late April. The annual Bookmark Contest kicked-off this month and invited kids, teens, AND adults to submit artistic entries reflecting the theme “Read in Full Bloom”. Throughout the month 56 entries were submitted. The contest will end April 13. 251 kids registered for the 10 to Try Spring Reading Program which encourages participants to read and log up to ten books from ten different categories/genres to earn reading rewards. The program ends April 27. The Children’s librarian hosted a Middle School Advisory Group (MAG) meeting and fielded suggestions for grand prizes for the youth summer reading program as well as ideas for the final MAG program of the school year. Ninth grade student, Katelyn Lui, hosted her seventh Wow! That’s STEM program for the Library and provided 14 kids, ages 8 to 11 years, with an ecological presentation as well as the opportunity to build a take-home terrarium. Children’s staff also hosted a Spyology program, in which 23 kids visited three different stations to do spy inspired activities. Student, Aaron Chu hosted a Conquer the Cube Club in which 24 cubing enthusiasts attended and socialized, timed their cube-solving abilities, and assisted with a cube mosaic project. The event was overseen by Library Aide, Esmerelda Albarran. Middle school students from Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral visited the Library and learned about various resources to assist with their country and hobby research projects. 113 Holly Avenue Elementary School first grade students as well as 55 transitional kindergarten students also visited and staff provided presentations about birds and bunnies. Collections: Cataloguing and Acquisition Services staff continued to work on an Authority Database project which maintains their databases and the online catalog and keeps them up-to- date, consistent, and error-free. Staff are also working on a special project to weed and re-catalog “The Idiot’s Guide” and “For Dummies” series in the adult non-fiction collection. Patrons continued to find value in having access to the Library’s streaming media and eBook platforms. There were 655 movies viewed from Kanopy and 4,896 eBook, eAudio, and eMagazine checkouts the Overdrive platform. Patrons also checked out 105 audiobooks, music, movies, and comics from the newer Hoopla resource.

Nine 3-D print requests were fulfilled during the month. Staffing and Training: Retired Principal Librarian, Kathy Meacham, returned to Cataloguing and Acquisition Services as an annuitant cataloguer and is currently cataloguing the Gilb Museum and adult book collections. This has provided Principal Librarian Margaret Lindstrom time to work on much needed weeding in the Adult collections, including the fiction collection where the shelves are getting very tight and the test preparation collection.. This also provided her time to review, in-depth, the standing order collection and update items no longer being published. The Shelving and Information System Services Aides continued working additional hours to assist election staff stationed in the Library’s Auditorium. The Aides also continued acclimating themselves to their assigned rotations and work areas. Library Aide Edgar Perez’s last day with the Library was March 1. Interviews for a part-time Children’s Services Librarian I position took place and a conditional offer was extended to a candidate.

Classical Kaleidoscope FEATURED HISTORICAL PHOTO PONY EXPRESS MUSEUM CHINESE JOSS HOUSE The Pony Express Museum (1935-1955) at Huntington Drive and Colorado Place was home to an impressive collection of old west relics, curated by William Parker Lyon. Mr. Lyon recognized the important role of Chinese immigrant workers during California’s gold rush days with this display of a Chinese joss house. The joss house represented the hub of Chinese society in towns throughout the California Mother Lode during the mid-1800s and later. The joss house would be the first cultural structure built in the Chinese settlements, serving as a place for worship, classes, social events, and letter-writing services.
