Library to Unveil Computer Facility
- Share via
The Robertson Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library is throwing a party June 19 to celebrate its new computer facility.
The party will mark the dedication of the branch’s $3.3-million, 10,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art building that includes a virtual electronic library of more than 500 computer databases, library spokesman Bob Reagan said.
With access to the resources available at the Central Library, the new unit creates “a library without walls,” Reagan said.
“If you were to sit down at a computer terminal [at the Robertson Branch], it would be as if you were sitting at a terminal in the Central Library,” he said. “This is the future of branch libraries.”
The UCLA music department’s string quartet will provide music for the festivities, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., at 1719 S. Robertson Blvd.
