Kara Knack currently serves as Renovation Communications Officer for Friends Of The Observatory. Active in serving and steering Griffith Observatory since 1978, she’s a virtual trove of astronomical lore and details on Griffith’s massive renovation, expansion, and exciting new exhibits.

confused?Watch this space for the October dates and times of our special Focus on Election 2002: Secession and Other Issues, an information & debate series featuring analytical presentations by the League of Women Voters and arguments from prominent pro- and anti-secessionists.

Let us know what points you'd like clarified and which issues you'd like debated: click here for the Senior Librarian's direct message link.

In the meantime, you can get a grip on the secession proposal—its history and current specifics—by studying the LWV's comprehensive and eminently readable booklet, Report on Secession. Platt Branch has circulation copies available now. Look for the display near the checkout desk.
