History of Highland Park…

The article "Arroyo Library’s Founding Told" (http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calindex/documents/10/520211.pdf) was written by Frances Foote & published in the Highland Park News-Herald in November of 1933.  It tells the details of the process whereby the Figueroa/Piedmont lot was secured, money was raised, and the first Arroyo Seco Branch Library was built.  It includes quite a long description of the dedication ceremony.  It is particularly interesting to read this as we approach the 100^th anniversary of the occasion described.
