To close this celebratory week, I wanted to give a shout out to the other July babies. Happy 135 also to the county law libraries of San Bernardino, Mendocino, Trinity, Santa Barbara, Sierra and Placer!

We turned 135: Okay, what’s up with your library's pink walls? Our past Law Librarian Marianna Moore [pictured below] chose the color because of its calming effect.

We turned 135: You once had a Law Librarian that was tried for murder? Trace past Law Librarian Madeline Chadbourne’s case via the California Digital Newspaper Collection at cdnc.ucr.edu/.

We turned 135: What, in 1909, your library shared quarters with the Superior Court Judge? Read about it below, and see mention of our first 2 Law Librarians, Cornelia DeCarlow and Bessie Flammer.

We officially turn 135 today. Thank you to our current Library Associate Aaron Winter [pictured below right], and the past Library Assistants, Library Associates, Departmental Aide, Extra-Help Staff and Volunteers who have been a part of our law library’s history!

On July 20th, Solano County Law Library turns 135. Thanks to Solano County Library's Digital Microfilm Collection, we uncovered more law librarians in our establishment’s history!
