Board member Jane Lowenthal, whose non-profit,
Working Solutions, Inc., nominated the senator
said, "Senator Alpert is a true ‘Library
Champion.’ Her authorship of the Library of
California and her foresight to forge
collaborations honors us all and provides a
greater opportunity for the work of library
professionals to enrich the literacy skills,
library benefits, and reading pleasure to
California's 34 million residents."
In
her nomination of Senator Alpert, Lowenthal said
that Alpert’s work “is… pragmatic. And in a
time of economic shortfall - full of vision!”
Lowenthal also said that because of Alpert’s
leadership “California's libraries [have seen]
exceptional results.”
