Today, the Saratoga Library held a 50th anniversary celebration for the incorporation of the city of Saratoga, CA. Their theme was the 1950s (a very stereotyped and sanitized 1950s) and everyone was encouraged to dress accordingly. Kitch Factor 9! We took photos of some of the craft events, hoola-hoop contests, decorations, displays, and library customers, candidates for city council, and library staff in front of a blue 1956 Chevy. I saw a bunch of great librarian friends (Hi Amytha, Vicki, Cindy!) and a few memorable patrons from my time spent in the 1900s as an employee here. The Bookmobile even made an appearance.
I was hired to take photos. Unfortunately our policies currently prohibit our using Flickr or Snapfish or any other photo hosting resource. Bah! As a quick-and-dirty, I created a quick photoalbum using Dreamweaver and left the rest to the library to sort out the formatting. It’s not pretty but it works in a pinch.
