Southern Fried Rice: Life in a Chinese Laundry in the Deep South

“What began first as a memoir to chronicle the difficult lives of my parents in Georgia led instead to writing my own story, Southern Fried Rice: Life in a Chinese Laundry in the Deep South. Well-received by Chinese Americans of my generation, my story reflected their own experiences in one way or another.”

More than 150 children and their accompanying family members celebrated their summer reading achievement on August 19 at Langley Center featuring a five-time world record juggler David Cousin's exciting and fun-filled program. The refreshments included cupcakes, gold fish cookies and punch drinks.

This year's Summer Reading Program was from June 28 through August 5 with a theme of “Make a Splash — READ." This program was open to infants through sixth graders.

During the six-week program, children who read ten books received a reading certificate and an invitation to the August 19 Certificate Party. The library staff would like to extend their appreciation to Francis Liu, a veteran children's services supporter, who generously donated her homemade 320 delcious cupcakes topped with colorfully designed M&M candies and gummy worms.

For information about children's upcoming programs, please call the Children's Desk at (626) 307-1358.

"Career Transitions" provides a one-stop, comprehensive guide to changing careers. Using a guided, self-paced approach, the program takes you step-by-step through all the actions to take to help you find a rewarding career during these challenging times.

Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library will present a free Chinese movie screening each month. The screening will start at 2:00 PM on the third Sunday of each month, in the 2nd floor Friends Room.
