Al Milo Announces His Retirement
Al Milo, the Library Director of the Fullerton Public Library since 1990, has announced his plans for early retirement in December 2006. Originally hired by the Fullerton Public Library as Adult Services Division Manager in 1986, Mr. Milo will mark his 20th anniversary with the City of Fullerton in December.
Previous to working at the Fullerton Public Library, Mr. Milo was employed by The Chicago Public Library (1975-1977), the Anaheim Public Library (1977-1979), California State University Fullerton Library (1980-1983), the Santiago Library System (1983-1984), and the City of Commerce Public Library (1983-1986). He received his MLS from the University of Michigan in 1975 and has an undergraduate degree in Latin American Studies from Stanford University (1973).
"If you count my five years working as a student Page and Circulation Supervisor for the Stanford University Libraries, I have accumulated 36 years working in libraries!" says Mr. Milo.
Mr. Milo has been active in the American Library Association, the California Library Association, Public Library Association, and REFORMA (The National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish-speaking).
He and his domestic partner of 31 years, Tom Johnson, are looking forward to doing extensive traveling. Tom Johnson, former Library Director of the Rancho Mirage Public Library, recently retired on August 10, 2006. They plan to continue to reside in Anaheim Hills, CA. They met while working on their MLIS degrees at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI (1974-1975).
