Library of California News Senator Dede Alpert, author of the bill which created the Library of California (LoC), received California Association of Non-Profit’s (CAN’s) 2003 highest award for "Elected Officials," in honor of Alpert as one of LoC's "Library Champions" as well as her extensive service to California's non-profits. LoC
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.” |
