Participants could be heard sharing stories about experiences at the library, and expressing some sadness that the building where those memories began would disappear. At the same time, excitement about a new, larger building was evident everywhere.
Linda Brooks-Burton, longtime Managing Librarian, and her colleague Jessie Wylie orchestrated a series of performances featuring young musicians and dancers from the community. With a backdrop of books and historical photographs, Mary Booker delivered two spoken word performances, Supervisor Malia Cohen spoke, and a dance band swooned into the late afternoon. A BAYCAT videographer was on hand to record reminiscences about the library.
