A parking lot of books
SOUTHEAST GLENDALE – With each box carried into the parking structure
across the street from the Glendale Central Library, the library’s
collection of Armenian- language books grew. And grew. And grew
some more.
Movers delivered about 12,500 Armenian-language books to the library
on Wednesday, a collection so large that the books are being stored in
the parking structure instead of the library. The collection, donated
by the now-defunct American Armenian International College, quadruples
the library’s current collection of Armenian- language materials.
The large collection will take some time to sort through. Library
officials expect some books to enter circulation within six months.
City officials value the collection at about $500,000.
