Al Escoffier, Burlingame’s City Librarian for the past 18 years, has announced his retirement effective December 19, 2009. In making this announcement to the board of the Burlingame Library Foundation, he said, “I make this decision with mixed feelings, as the Burlingame Library has been a large part of my life for nearly 40 years, and I consider the staff, trustees and board members my friends, as well as colleagues. As most of you know, I grew up in Burlingame and it has been my family’s home since the 1930’s. I feel honored to have served with so many talented and skilled staff members over the years.”
In recognition of his nearly 40 years service, and to enourage others to support the Burlingame Library, the Burlingame Library Foundation annouce the formation of the Escoffier Society to recognize the foresight and generosity of individuals who have made a significant lifetime contribution, planned gift, or have included the Burlingame Library Foundation in their estate plans.
