Library lecture on sculptor’s exhibit
The first major U.S. retrospective of British sculptor Henry Moore’s 60-year career opened at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco on June 23. Docent Gretchen Turner will review this exhibit of 100 sculptures and 80 drawings in a free lecture 7:30 p.m., July 11, at the Los Altos main library, 13 S. San Antonio Road. Turner’s lecture is sponsored by the Friends of the Los Altos Library.
The exhibit illustrates Moore’s seminal role in the evolution of modern sculpture, and documents key phases of his artistic development. Turner has fostered her lifetime interest in art by participating in the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Community Speakers Program since 1990.
‘Got Books?’ theme of program
“Got Books?” is the theme of the Los Altos libraries’ Teen Reading Program. The theme is designed to encourage leisure reading for the fun of it, and familiarty with other resources, besides books, in the libraries.
Teens can sign up and receive a packet of information at the Los Altos library on San Antonio Road or the Woodland branch library, 1975 Grant Road.
Activities to complete in the library itself are designed to help teens become familiar with using the library catalog to find a variety of items, including compact discs, CD-ROMS, videos, DVDs and magazines.
Weekly drawings will be held for teens reading a book or completing one of the activities each week. Teens who read at least five books and complete five of the activities by Aug. 25 will receive a gift certificate at a local bookstore and will be eligible for the drawing at the end of summer for the grand prize, a personal CD player.
For more information, call Teen Services Librarian Larry Condit at 948-7683, ext. 3511.
