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.

$1000 in Scholarships Now Available Through OCLA Through a series of events that confirm the value of networking for the library community, OCLA now is able to offer a total of $1000 to its scholarship recipients. This doubles what was previously available to candidates. This year the OCLA Scholarship of $500 will be linked with the new Sue Miller Scholarship of $500. Both will be awarded to the same recipients. The Sue Miller Scholarship is offered by the Fullerton Ebell Club to honor Sue’s dedicaOon to libraries. Sue was an acOve member of the Fullerton Public Library Friends and was always a strong advocate for excellent library service. She was also a much loved member of the Fullerton Ebell Club. In her name, the Ebell Club will give the scholarship to the candidate selected by the OCLA Scholarship Commi\ee. Only the OCLA applicaOon is necessary to apply to receive both scholarships. Please see informaOon about the OCLA Scholarship on our website at www1.chapman.edu/ ocla/

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.
