INFORMATION ON THE OCLA SCHOLARSHIP

“Digital  technology  has  had  a  two-­‐fold  effect  on  tradi8onal  forms  of  publishing  and   book  design.  On  one  hand  the  printed  book  may  be  on  the  way  to  becoming  an   an8que  form,  while  fonts  have  exploded  in  number  and  style  with  the  advent  of   desktop  prin8ng.  This  exhibit  will  examine  the  expanded  defini8on  of  the  book  while   also  considering  the  meaning  carried  by  specific  fonts  u8lized  by  ar8sts  in  different   media.” At  OCLA,  our  programming  goals  include  providing  informa8ve  and  fun  programs  twice   a  year,  while  allowing  members  to  network  and  discover  informa8on  resources  within   the  Orange  County  area.  Registra8on  fees  support  our  annual  scholarship  program  and   special  project  grant.  If  you  have  an  idea  for  a  future  program,  please  contact  Stacy   Russo  at  [email protected]  or  714-­‐564-­‐6712.

ABOUT THE “MUCK”: Commissioned for $35,000, the Muckenthaler home was built by Walter and Adella Muckenthaler in 1924 atop a hill in Fullerton. The 18room villa on 8.5 acres was donated to the city in 1965 by Harold Muckenthaler who wished to see his childhood home used as a cultural center for the public to enjoy. In 1999, the Muckenthaler Cultural Center villa was included on the National Register of Historic Places.

The  fortunate  events  that  brought  together  Sue  Miller’s   memorial  scholarship  and  OCLA  show  how  important  it   is  for  library  staff  to  be  out  among  the  community.     Here’s  what  happened:    Tim  Mountain,  Adult  Services   Manager  at  Fullerton  Public  Library  and  former  OCLA   President,  a\ended  an  Ebell  Club  meeOng.    There  he   learned  that  the  Club  planned  to  give  money  for  a  local   scholarship  to  a  deserving  library  school  student,  but   were  having  trouble  finding  a  local  organizaOon  to  take   their  money.    Tim  told  them  about  OCLA  and  its   ongoing  scholarship.    He  connected  OCLA  and  Ebell   Club,  and  together  we  have  worked  out  a  linked   scholarship  program.    Our  thanks  to  Tim  and  to  Mary   Sprague  of  Ebell  Club  for  their  follow-­‐though  to  benefit   serious  students  of  our  profession.well as contact information.

The Orange County Library Association, founded in 1920, is your local non-profit library association. We are always looking for new members and individuals who want to get involved! Every year we offer two distinct programs of interest to librarians, library staff, and all who support the world of libraries. OCLA’s work supports future librarians and library staff through our annual scholarship program. We also support the work of libraries or related organizations in need through an annual special grant. The generous support of members allows us to sustain these important programs.
