We will never have the ancient treasures of Europe, but at least we can strive to have art.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-37799118908234484422012-01-28T14:40:42.036-08:002012-01-28T14:40:42.036-08:00Fun sculpture and an enterprising local library, a...Fun sculpture and an enterprising local library, a winning combinationDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093410113028503578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-31925325183565263222012-01-28T13:27:02.025-08:002012-01-28T13:27:02.025-08:00Thanks, Kalei, yes, very cool link.

I know I'm that close to one.<br /><br />Hiker, yeah, I guess this is the back. I think it's more attractive than the front and I always enter this way. <br /><br />The building is at the corner of East Orange Grove and Sierra Madre Villa. One block north of Orange Grove is a side street called Rida Street, and this is the Rida side. You can enter the parking lot from here.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-78317995917434190472012-01-28T10:07:24.764-08:002012-01-28T10:07:24.764-08:00Is that the backyard?

Had to look on the map where this library was, and it surprised me that it was on Orange Grove and not up in Hastings Ranch, as I'd assumed. I've probably driven past many times and not noticed this branch - it blends in so well, doesn't it? Glad that big pine tree survived Hurricane Rose.Bellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168550139269893109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-48993914305274832742012-01-28T08:36:01.329-08:002012-01-28T08:36:01.329-08:00Thanks, Kalei.

I found the article here<br />http://bit.ly/ADNr0j<br />It doesn't tell us about the sculptor but it tells us a bit about the plans for the garden where it's planted.<br /><br />More from the website:<br />"...on February 17, 1959, Hastings Branch first opened its doors. It was the eighth and last library branch to be built, completing the plan to bring library service within a mile of every home in Pasadena."Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-83275009710126433642012-01-28T06:13:04.750-08:002012-01-28T06:13:04.750-08:00I copied this info off the PNI
