GLENDALE PUBLIC LIBRARY PRESENTS ``ALL ABOUT ARMENIA'
Glendale, California, is home to one of the greatest concentration of
Armenians in a U.S. city and its public library offers varied cultural
programs that feature Armenian themes. As part of this vibrant city's
Library Centennial Celebration, two marvelous storytellers, Sylva Natalie
Manoogian and Kay Mouradian will present the history, culture and life of
Armenia, providing insight into its people and places. The program will be
held in the Glendale Public Library Auditorium, 222 East Harvard Street, on
Wednesday, August 15, at 7:00 pm.
`The oral tradition has provided the chain of continuity for the long-lived
Armenians from generation to generation,' states librarian and scholar,
Sylva Manoogian, who is the author of numerous articles on international
librarianship, as well as Armenian culture and heritage, and the recipient
of several prestigious national and international awards. She has served as
Library Administrator for the Los Angeles Public Library and Library Project
Director for the revitalization of the Calouste Gulbenkian Library of the
Armenian Patriarchate in Jerusalem. A full-time doctoral student at UCLA's
Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, she is currently
engaged in very challenging research, including a comparative study of
Armenian and Chinese diasporas, the latter together with her doctoral
advisor and mentor, Professor Clara M. Chu.
Dr. Kay Mouradian is a retired Professor of Health and Physical Education
from the Los Angeles Community Colleges. She wrote her first novel, "A Gift
in the Sunlight: An Armenian Story", after her mother's remarkable
recoveries from death's door prompted her to examine her own ancestral past.
The novel was chosen by the University of Georgia as required reading for
its 2007 Armenia International Business and Relations Study Abroad Program
in Armenia. Dr. Mouradian will read selected portions of her book and will
lead a discussion about events that occurred during the 1915 genocide.
The public is invited to enjoy `All About Armenia,' a free event sponsored
by the Friends of the Glendale Public Library. For further information, you
may call the Glendale Public Library at (818) 548-2042.

Intelligence stands back and watches."

Forth comes the sylvan song, the woodland's child!"
