The City of Long Beach Public Libraries are not only a resource for information, they are a venue for education, arts and cultural programming. LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD presented a theatrical fundraiser, MULATTO DILEMMA, Juliette Fairley’s one woman show, October 25, 2009, Found Theater to benefit the Long Beach Public Libraries.  “Many bi-racial people are caught in between two worlds, tormented by allegiances to both the black community and the larger white society.”  Before the performance, the Long Beach Central Area Association presented Director of Library Services, Glenda Williams, a check for $1,000. President John Malveaux said, “I realize the fundraiser will not make a financial impact, but it demonstrates that the community can play a part to financially support our Libraries.”  See pic Juliette Fairley
