Sept. 4, 2019 -  Library Specialist and Archivist Evelyn S. Taylor will hold two additional book signings for her recently published book, "Camarillo State Hospital."

Released on June 3, "Camarillo State Hospital" was co-authored by Mary E. Holt and is a pictorial reflection of Camarillo State Hospital's rapid expansion as the largest state hospital west of the Mississippi, to the shuttering of its doors sixty years later. 

In 2000, Evelyn became the first archivist for CSU Channel Islands and came to appreciate firsthand the hospital's alluring history.  Mary E. Holt is a historical researcher of Camarillo State Hospital  (CAM) and an avid photographer, who has captured the hospital's haunting beauty since its closure.
