Ceramics Display at the Buena Park Library District
Ceramics created by local artist Yoojin Kim are now on display at the Buena Park Library District. Over a dozen of her fantastic creations are on display in the lobby now through the end of December 2005. The Buena Park Library District is located at 7150 La Palma Avenue in Buena Park, between Knott and Western Avenues.
Ms. Kim studied ceramics at California State University Sonoma and had a studio for several years. This is her first public exhibition. Ms. Kim stated that we live in a fast-paced world and we often don’t think about what we are doing. "It is important to stop and think. Art serves as a vehicle to do that." Ms. Kim stated that when she was younger, she felt she had no direction. "Art gave me a way to express my feelings." She hopes that other young people might be drawn to art as a means to find direction and expression in their lives.
Many of her pieces are humorous, but upon further reflection and study, an underlying pain is perceived. One piece, "Confussion I", was the result of a blind date set up by her mother. The artist thought her date was unattractive, yet had to deal with the pain and confusion of his rejection.
Stop by the Buena Park Library District and take some time to examine the works of thoughtful and sensitive artist. The Buena Park Library is open Mondays through Thursdays, 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. For information, please call the Reference Desk at 714-826-4100, ext. 125.

Community News -- OperationOC and Katrina Relief
Press Release from the Orange County Rescue Mission
Chairman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors Bill Campbell, Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona, County Superintendent of Schools William Habermehl, South Orange County Community College Chancellor Raghu P. Mathur, and Orange County Rescue Mission President Jim Palmer, have joined forces as the Co-Chairman of OperationOC. Co-Chairman Palmer believes that OperationOC is especially positioned to lead a campaign to challenge churches, faith-based organizations, shelters, and other service providers in Orange County to get involved in long-term care and strategies needed to help the first 100 families who have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina arrive in Orange County.
As of September 6th, OperationOC is launching a $2.6 million campaign to rescue the victims of Hurricane Katrina, in partnership with dozens of Orange County public and private organizations, city government, churches, service clubs and private individuals.
Already, an Operation OC advance team is in Amarillo and Dallas, Texas, connecting with potential families who would be traveling to Orange County for assistance.
The critical challenge, beyond the immediate need for housing, food, and water, will be to reduce the further risk of disaster in these victim’s lives, by responding with long-term transitional housing and life needs, ongoing food, clothing, healthcare, job opportunities and mental health services.
To help expedite the availability of housing, the Orange County Rescue Mission will be accelerating the completion of the residential section of their nationally recognized, comprehensive Village of Hope project on Tustin Legacy, the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Base. The Village of Hope will still need to complete their vocational classrooms, medical clinic, dining facility, child development center, offices, warehouse and parking. Because of this need, OperationOC partner, Bob Kopecky, provost of Advanced Technology & Education Park of the South Orange County Community College District, has agreed that they will provide the use of their nearby dining facility and parking. Additionally, OperationOC is looking for sponsors to provide two and three bedroom apartments for displaced Hurricane Katrina families. The Orange County Rescue Mission, Second Harvest Food Bank, Infolink Orange County 2-1-1, County of Orange, Orange County Sheriffs Department, HomeAid Orange County, Calvary Church of Santa Ana, have all joined OperationOC as partners, and will be assisting in the provision of food and supplies.
OperationOC is prepared to immediately utilize the time-tested Strong Beginnings program, the Orange County Rescue Mission’s strategic, case-management based outreach program which provides long-term solutions to permanent housing for homeless families living in poverty motels.
Strong Beginnings, through the assistance of the Children and Families Commission of Orange County, has had great success in helping hundreds of Orange County families end homelessness and is prepared to apply the same three-tiered process of prevention/emergency assistance, stabilization and transition to bring hope to at least 100 families who have faced tragedy and loss because of Hurricane Katrina.
It is the intent of OperationOC to challenge Orange County public and private organizations, churches, service clubs and individuals to pool their resources and join them in the effort to respond to the needs of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Please contact OperationOC at 1-800-956-1613 (California Only)

Businesses are Super Heroes for Summer Reading Programs
The Buena Park Library District’s Annual Summer Reading Program ends Saturday, August 27th, 2005 and with it its two clubs will also close - "Super Readers = Super Heroes" for children ages 2-12 and the teen’s "Unleash Your Power / Read." The last day of reading program festivities will be from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. outside the Library and will include a variety of games and events to celebrate another successful summer reading program year (chalkdrawing, cakewalks, ring and beanbag tosses, faces painting, etc.) and children who participated in the reading program can earn other incentive prizes just by showing up. Children and teens will also be able to turn in a completed program opportunity ticket for next week’s selection of Knott’s Berry Farm Theme Park passes. We will also be sharing a new friend with our community – the La Palma Intercommunity Hospital … so stop by their table to say hello and see what they can do for you.
Both summer reading clubs were generously sponsored by the Volunteer Guild of the Buena Park Library. The Volunteer Guild raised the monies needed to sponsor most of this summer’s special events, and funded all the printing and the incentive prizes for the children and teens through rapid book and membership sales. Many thanks to the hard working Guild volunteers!
In addition, the Buena Park Library thanks this year's other Summer Reading Program sponsors. First, a big thanks to the Metropolitan Cooperative Library System for developing and printing the decorative bags, book logs, bookmarks and posters used to celebrate both the children’s and teens programs.

Face-paintings, cake walks, chalk drawings and a variety of games were enjoyed by over 700 people who attended the event. A visit by the Buena Park Police Department was accompanied by sirens, but as our local community hero, the visit was brief as the officer was called away to perform his duties. We also had the American Red Cross canteen truck with its driver Mr. Pedro Palidano, a Disaster Action Team member, here to display the kinds of services the Red Cross offers to people in emergencies. This particular truck and driver responded to those in need at the recent landslide disaster in Laguna.

California Carving Guild Display at the Buena Park Library District
Members of Orange County Chapter #2 of the California Carving Guild are displaying their wood carvings at the Buena Park Library District. Over 60 of their creations are on display in the lobby now through June 24, 2005. The Buena Park Library District is located at 7150 La Palma Avenue in Buena Park, between Knott and Western Avenues.
The items on display have been created from familiar woods like basswood, walnut and pine, to more exotic woods like jelutong, a hardwood found in Indonesia and Malaysia. The carvings display a wide range of styles from the humorous caricatures of Ann Anton, to the stylized sting rays of Bill Bahret, and the amazingly, life-like birds of Richard Otsubo. Another noteworthy set of carvings by John Fleisher show the steps that turn a block of wood into a pike fish decoy. There are also fascinating pieces created from a single piece of wood such as Joyce Wofford’s "Chain Attached to a Ball in a Cage."
The skill levels displayed by the creators of the pieces range from the Novice, to the more skilled Expert and several of the carvers have brought sculptures representing their progress from Novice to Advanced to Expert Carver.
The California Carvers Guild is a statewide organization of woodcarvers. There are over 51 chapters statewide with over 900 active members. The California Carvers Guild was founded in 1974 and its primary aim is to promote and teach the art of carving. For more information about the California Carvers Guild, please call 714-530-7128. In the meantime, stop by the Library to be amazed at their handiwork.

When the Library is closed, do you...
...need some live help?
If so, you may AskNow via Internet Chat! This service lets you ask questions and get answers in real time from reference staff in libraries throughout California and the nation at any time of day or night. You may click the icon below to connect or look for the icon on the website for the Buena Park Library District.
1. What is AskNow?
AskNow is a service that combines the speed and convenience of the Internet with the information savvy of librarians. California residents were among the first in the nation to enjoy live online reference service. That means you can go to a library website, type your question, "talk" to a librarian and get an answer while you wait--virtually the same as if you were in a library.
2. How is AskNow different from search engines?
A search engine is a computer program that “crawls” the Web, looking for the words you typed into the search box. AskNow connects you with an information pro--a reference librarian who is also an Internet expert. Thanks to interactive technology, you can communicate with the librarian online and use all of the online resources available through your own libraries. These resources include full-text articles from magazines and journals, encyclopedias, almanacs, directories and other commercial data services. A transcript of the session, including URLs for Web sites and other resources used, can be sent by e-mail after you’ve finished.
3. How does it work?
Simply log on to AskNow from any computer with Internet access. The AskNow icon is available on the Buena Park Library District website. When you type your question, a librarian will respond by typing an answer.
4. What kinds of questions can AskNow answer?
AskNow is designed to answer brief, factual questions for school, business or home use. A few examples: "What does the "D" in D-Day stand for?" "How do I get a patent?" "Can I take my dog to the Philippines?" "When does Daylight Savings Time end?" "How do I get information about overseas adoption?" "What is an appropriate gift for a silver anniversary?" If your question requires in-depth research, the librarian may suggest Web sites and other sources of information to get you started. The librarian may also refer you to a subject expert. We also encourage you to call or visit the reference desk of your local library.
Please remember, this great service is always available, whether the library is closed or not. So whenever you find yourself needing to get a quick useful answer, try AskNow.
