IVC alum in the news

IVC alum Sarah Rafael García got some well-deserved attention in today's Sunday Los Angeles Times in an article titled "LibroMobile may be O.C.’s smallest bookstore but it’s also a symbol of growing diversity" by Namrata Poddar. 

excerpt:
...I remember walking with her down Calle Cuatro to a stairwell, where she stored crates full of books on either side, and then watching her push a bookcart out from the space below the stairs.
Now, LibroMobile is a bookstore in a warehouse in a back alley off 4th and Spurgeon streets, but for its first nine months, it existed on that book-laden staircase and through the mobile cart inspired by the paleteros, iconic fruit vendor carts often seen in Santa Ana.
While its ever-expanding inventory has moved from the staircase to the warehouse, the book cart continues to travel throughout the city and surrounding areas to promote literacy...
Historical note: Sarah was enrolled in the first class Rebel Girl ever taught at IVC.
