Joining the Alameda County Library Foundation was an easy transition for me, since I grew up in one of those homes with books in every room. And I continue to live in one now. And when I started this position in October, I was no stranger to the concept of books, and library programs. I also possessed the necessary professional skills for the position, however, I found myself a stranger to the communities of Alameda County. In my quest to meet these communities, I started making daily telephone calls to you and found two recurring themes. The first is your stories, our friends, our customers, our donors, and our sponsors. I heard stories of your connection to the library, what the library meant to you as a child, to you as a parent, as an adult. Stories of how the library allowed your dreams to come true, stories of how the library changed your life. And so many of your stories lead me to the next theme. Many of

Alameda County Library Program Honored by Mrs. Laura Bush at The White House

the stories included anecdotes about library staff by name, whether it is Steve in the bookmobile or Julie at the Albany branch. You know them by name and clearly they have had an impact on your experience. I visit my neighborhood library often, and I can’t tell you one staff member’s name. We have a unique community here with a unique chemistry. I look forward to hearing more stories and … Most of us have read that Ernest Gallo of E & J Gallo Winery fame passed away recently. What we may not have read is that he learned to make wine from a recipe found in the Modesto Public Library. He parlayed a visit to the library into an estate valued at more than one billion dollars. Yes, libraries change lives!

All the best, Richard Ajluni
