The Class of 2019 once an Eagle always an Eagle.
Book Tariff from front page
gift copy this month to $22.50 for the class
of 2020, if the tariff sticks. The average price
of a children’s illustrated book is about $20,
according to Publisher’s Weekly. The U.S.-
China tariff war would add five bucks to the
$20 average price of a children’s illustrated
book, according to an industry op-ed piece that
appeared days before Tuesday’s start of the
tariff exclusion hearings. They are scheduled
to end from June 24 to June 25.
Books imported from China include various
categories, and a large percentage were illustrated
books for children up to age 14, said
the opinion piece posted June 14 at Publishers
Weekly. The trade journal’s editorial director and
a Fordham University professor with expertise
in the U.S. book business (including adult
fiction and non-fiction) argued that making
children’s books more expensive would keep
them off library shelves.
“They will drive up the prices of all books
and have unintended consequences adversely
impacting millions of children, parents, public
and school libraries, and the livelihoods of book
retailers,” wrote Fordham marketing professor
Albert Greco and Publishers Weekly editorial
chief Jim Milliot.
Passing on the cost of a 25 percent import
tariff would make it difficult, if not impossible,
for many libraries to purchase new books or
buy replacement copies of books that are
damaged or lost, the authors said. Sixty-one
million American children are between the ages
of one and 14, and research has demonstrated
that reading fosters learning skills in young
children even before they can read themselves,
the industry advocates said.
For that reason, the spokesmen for the
publisher urged the president and his trade
representative to give children’s books that
come from China cover from the escalation
of trade tensions and tariffs between America
and its leading trade partner, Beijing. “The
Trump administration should exclude all
books imported from China from proposed
tariffs because tariffs would have a detrimental
impact on American readers and, in particular,
would restrict children’s access to books,” the
authors said.
Libraries already are stretched paper thin,
as are booksellers that operate on small profit
margins. The majority of brick-and-mortar
book stores are independent and compete
against Barnes & Noble and the online retailers
Amazon and Wal-Mart.
“And will you succeed? Yes! You will,
indeed! 98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed,” Dr.
Seuss promises in his 1990 classic title Oh, the
Places You’ll Go. The publishers’ representatives
can hope he’s right about their chances with
the president’s point man on the Chinese trade
negotiations. Lighthizer plans to take seven days
of testimony from industry representatives for
consumer and industrial products that made
the Chinese import tariff list.
The higher 25 percent import tariff on incoming
goods from China took effect on June
15. It upped the 10 percent tariff that had been
imposed on Beijing last year as the Trump
administration pressured the Chinese government
to pursue free market-oriented policies
and become a “more responsible member” of
the World Trade Organization.
Information about children’s summer reading
programs for South Bay cities is available
online. The Inglewood Public Library’s program
runs through August 10. A list of activities and
upcoming special events is detailed at https://
www.cityofinglewood.org/1118/Childrens-
Services. Hawthorne and Lawndale residents
can find children’s reading services at a library
branch nearest them at https://lacountylibrary.
org/hawthorne-library/.
“Well read, well fed” is a free lunch program
available again this year through Aug. 2 at
participating public L.A. County libraries. This
is the fifth year the county library system has
offered free lunches to boys and girls 18 and
under. There are no restrictions on a family’s
income and meals are handed out on a firstcome,
first-served basis. The county says its
summer lunch program ensures that kids return
to school in the fall ready to learn.
Before serving lunch, many participating
libraries offer a story time and they follow the
meal with performances, nutrition workshops,
school preparedness activities, and visits by
members of the Sheriff’s Department and
WIC Food and Nutrition Services. Lunches at
the libraries are a partnership of the county’s
library and parks department, with support
from the California Summer Meal Coalition
and California Library Association.
The El Segundo Public Library will holds its
summer reading program kickoff today, June
20, at 11 a.m. A family story time will follow
at 6 p.m. The library calendar of events (https://
www.elsegundo.org/cals/library_calendar.asp)
has listings for other kid- and family-friendly
book events coming up in July and August. •
Best friends and X-Country teammates Nikki Fulcomer and Gabby
Lee. Their smiles say it all.
Kyle McMullin flashes a million-dollar smile.
Best friends forever pose one last time.
Member, a Golden State Seal Merit Diploma
recipient and is no stranger to public speaking.
He delivered the ASB President’s Address
that included thanking his classmates for their
hard work in the classroom. He was proud to
have been friends with each of them and then
sang a song rap style, which summed up his
appreciation.
Matt started by saying he was deeply honored
to have the opportunity to address his classmates
and the audience one last time before officially
turning the last page of high school. He noted
that he will always have a memory of fun times,
but also bittersweet emotions at leaving behind
one chapter to begin another anew.
Matt had a clever idea to have a phone call
interrupt his speech: a cell phone conversation
mid-speech from the future calling (literally).
During the address, after putting that call on
hold temporarily, he decided to take a moment
to reflect on the times they’ve had together,
what they’ve been through and what that means
for the road ahead. “Finally, looking ahead to
what is to come, we resolved to answer the
future’s call,” he said.
Ending his graduation address with one
final rap for the class seemed like a fitting
and fun way to bring the high school experience
full circle: “Score goals, win gold, do
it like a magic trick. We be making bangers
123, that’s like a hat trick. This school from
frosh to seniors grew up fast as lightning. No
fear of the dark, you know that we don’t take
this lightly. Keep on smiling even when it’s
gloomy on those grey days. Keep on grindin’
cuz we know it pays off in straight A’s. The
Future called your cell phone, but your dreams
are self-owned.”
Matt concluded with one last message. “To
the Class of 2019, it’s been an absolute honor
and blessing running with you these past four
years. Congratulations and God Bless.”
Then the procession and introduction
of each graduate from the Class of 2019
proudly walked through the Arches of the Future.
Each accepted their hard-earned diploma
before heading toward their destinies. Thank
you, graduates. Our future is in good hands.. •
Sophia Caravello’s family and friends had a great seat to watch her graduation.
