LAPL Central Library Tour

11/8/2023

0 Comments

 

ALA@UCLA is partnering with Central Library downtown for a tour on Monday November 13th, 1:30-3:00pm. The supervisors for the photo collection and history/genealogy department will be hosting us, and we will get a chance to see some other areas of the library as well. We did a tour of this library last spring, and it was very informative and fun! Please RSVP on this sign up sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/186XhKtmjDJVuDA1-52znT2jvhZcOOfpr9IVsDcqG7LQ/edit#gid=0 

Central Library is the third largest central library in the nation, containing over 2.8 million books, 3 million photographs, and 10 million digital access U.S. patents. It was built in 1926 and has been designated a Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

We will be meeting in the History & Genealogy Department on Lower Level 4 at the Reference Desk, which is the desk by the Atrium/escalators (not the elevators). The library address is 630 W 5th St. Los Angeles, CA 90071. Parking is $5, so please use the sign up sheet to arrange carpooling if you need. Public transit is also an option at this location as it is close to Pershing Square and 7th St/Metro Ctr stations.​

Hello and welcome to a new year!
 
My name is Renee Romero and I am the American Library Association (ALA) Student Chapter President for the 2017-2018 academic school year. I want to welcome the First Years to the program and the Second Years to their last year of the program!
 
ALA is the oldest and largest library association in the world, turning 141 years old this coming October. It was founded in 1876 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a purpose of providing leadership for the development, promotion and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all.
 
The UCLA student chapter of ALA was created to help promote ALA’s mission on the UCLA Campus. This year, our theme is Community. We are committed to growing together as a community of information professionals in the various fields of information science. That means we value YOU, no matter what track you are on and encourage everyone to get involved with ALA events and activities!
 
We are planning a lot of awesome programs to help improve your professional development and also engage more with your peers and the UCLA Library community. I want to encourage you to get involved with whatever you are interested in; now is the perfect time to gain new experience and learn new things. I hope to see you at some of our events and look forward to getting to know everyone!
 
Warmly,
 
Renee Romero
ALA President
