Suggested Reading List for At Home Learners
Posted on February 2, 2021 by Patron Services Green
Many students do not have direct or unrestricted access to their local libraries during our current health crisis. One of our goals as librarians and stewards is to bring books to these learners of all ages as they continue their educations at home.
As a step toward this, we have created a collection of California State Suggested Reading
that is based on resources from the California Department of Education. This is intended to help students, teachers and their families find books for further learning. (As with any collection, we recommend that adults review items for age-appropriateness before passing them on to children.)
And we’ve also created some resource lists for different areas of interests in the Kid Friendly section of our help center. These are fun to explore by yourself, in company or over the special database internet with friends, and cover topics like :
Activities
Animals
Mathematics
Mythology
Outer Space
Physical Education
Racial Equality Books for Kids
Software and Video Games for kids
World Language
We hope this is a helpful springboard for your journey into any topic.
Stay safe and healthy, and thanks for using the archive!

Community gathers for an online celebration of Michelson Cinema Research Library
Posted on January 28, 2021 by Caralee Adams
Lillian Michelson was celebrated as a “force of nature” librarian devoted to helping Hollywood filmmakers get the details right at an event on January 27 to unveil a new online home at the Internet Archive for her extensive collection of books, photos, scrapbooks and clippings.
The Michelson Cinema Research Library was opened with an animated version of the research icon cutting a virtual ribbon to an audience of more than 300 people watching online. The public got a first glimpse of 1,300 books that are now digitally available—part of a million items in the rich collection that Michelson donated to the Internet Archive in December.
“Now, for the first time, anyone, anywhere on the planet can go roam into the halls of Lillian’s research library,” said Thomas Walsh, a production designer and former president of the Art Directors Guild, speaking on a panel at the event. “It’s a really unique, eclectic collection. The books go back to the 1700s. Nothing she had is in print anymore. It’s an extraordinary range of material.”
