A Friends Tribute to Peggy Machado
Countless numbers of children, now adults, will remember Mrs. Machado as the quiet spoken librarian who helped them pick out the books they loved and led the crafts and events in the library and made it the memorable place it is.
But for the rest of us we will miss our friend. Peggy’s welcoming smile, kindness, and generosity of spirit lifted us and urged us to be better people. She liked a good laugh and we thank her for sharing that too.
Peggy was at the Descanso Branch Library from its beginnings. Working with Mollie Jean, Edie, Beryl, Mo, Ruth, and more, they moved Descanso to build a new library at its current site and preserve the old library as a testimony. The look on Peggy’s face said it all as she watched the children’s parade of books from that old site to the new…pride, excitement at the prospect of new adventures, and learning. She made it what it is today. Many staff who benefited from her mentorship will attest to that.
Our hearts break for Norm, Mary, and Becky and her grandchildren. We were blessed to have her in our lives. Thank you for sharing her love with us and we hope you find comfort and a smile when you look at our beautiful library (and garden) and know how much we valued her and how much we, too will miss her.
