Calling all history buffs! Tonight, the Annual Meeting of the Friends of the South Pasadena Public Library will feature an Author Night with Dr. Kevin Starr, California's favorite historian. Dr. Starr is best known for his brilliant 7 volume series, Americans and the California Dream. His latest book is called Clio on the Coast: The Writing of California History, 1845-1945. The event will also serve as the SoCal Centennial Celebration of the Book Club of California.
South Pasadena's own singer/songwriter Brad Colerick will open the program with classic songs of the Golden State, as well as a few surprises.

Oh I wish I were there so I could come join the festivities. I want to hear all about it!
I read Embattled Dreams on your recommendation! It was a great look into the past.
This sounds cool. Plus, Brad Colerick is great. Thanks for the heads up Laurie.
Will Dr. Starr's books be for sale?
Anpn, the Book Club will have a selection of books for sale including, I believe, Dr. Starr's latest. I don't know if the Dream series will be available or not.
Everyone should go. It should be a fun event!
