City Friends of the Library |
WELCOME Welcome to the Culver City Friends of the Library website! The Friends are a group of volunteers dedicated to supporting the Culver City Julian Dixon Library. Your support enables the Culver City Julian Dixon Library to enrich its resources, enhance its services, and expand its programs to maximize the Library's role and usefulness in the community. Over 130 people enjoyed the visit by best-selling author, Lisa See to the Culver City Julian Dixon Library. In a belated celebration of the library's 50th anniversary at the current location, the audience was treated to a first-hand view of the process See went through to write her family history, On Gold Mountain. Not only the story of her family, it also gives a good view of the Chinese-American experience and the early days of Los Angeles. An outstanding speaker, See kept the audience spellbound by the stories and anecdotes she shared and answered questions from the audience. She graciously answered questions from the audience and signed books for guests at the end. In addition to On Gold Mountain, she is the author of 3 mystery stories set in China, and 8 novels dealing with various aspects of Asian life and culture.
Author Lisa See is flanked by Co-Presidents: Aileen Zeidman and Michael Laase

To celebrate 100 years of Incorporation for Culver City This project commemorates the Centennial through various forms of fiber art by portraying some of the iconic aspects of Culver City, past and present. More than thirty members of the community, ages 8 to 80, collaborated in the creation of this wall hanging, which commenced in May and was sponsored by CCFOL. It was inspired by the California Yarnscapes project of Yarn Bombing LA that was displayed at the Autry Museum last spring, and attempts to depict some of the history and locales that are dear to the hearts of Culver City residents. The main panel was displayed at City Hall on September 20, as part of the Culver City Birthday Party. The two flanking panels depict some of the past history of Culver City, even prior to the incorporation of the city, and some of the arts, activities, films and TV shows that have been part of the city. A legend, explaining the various components will be available at the library as well. The main panel is 5'x7', and the two additional panels are approximately 5' square.
