Join us for a breaking bread storytelling event that will bring community members together to share global breads and watch video stories of local community members.

Join us for a breaking bread storytelling event that will bring community members together to share global breads and watch video stories of local community members on Friday, December 6, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. at the Glendale Central Library Auditorium, 222 East Harvard Street, Glendale CA 91205.

Refreshments will be available. Admission is free. Three hours of free parking is available in the parking structure at the Northeast corner of Harvard Street and Artsakh Avenue. Please bring in your parking tickets for validation.

Tell Me - Stories of Migration to Glendale: Breaking Bread is presented in conjunction with a California Humanities-For-All Project grant that allowed the Glendale Library, Arts & Culture Department to chronicle stories of migrants, recent migrants, and second- and third-generation immigrants that make up our community. Stories of family origin and migration are deeply personal and relate to the notion of “breaking bread” during family celebrations and get-togethers where stories and memories are shared.

The California Humanities-For-All Project grant also funded the recent Tell Me: Stories of Migration to Glendale exhibit that was recently held in the Library’s ReflectSpace gallery. This project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

About the library

Established in 1906.

Library services in Glendale were first provided in 1906. The women of the Tuesday Afternoon Club, a social and philanthropic organization, raised money through a series of lectures to fund a library collection. The library opened in a renovated pool room at Third and E (Wilson and Everett) Streets with seventy books, soon supplemented by a State Traveling Library of fifty more, and served a population of 1,186.

In 1907, the City Trustees passed Ordinance 53 which established and supported a library which "...shall be forever free to the inhabitants and nonresident taxpayers of the City of Glendale..." The first year the library had 251 books, 165 registered patrons, and a budget of $248.88.

In 1913, a Carnegie grant of $12,500 made possible the construction of the main library at Kenwood and Fifth (Harvard Street). The building was completed and dedicated November 13, 1914.
