The family of Yu-Li Pan — a longtime Livermore resident who died in February 2020 — recently donated $106,130 to the Livermore Library in his honor.
Pan immigrated to the U.S. from China in 1950 and he lived in Livermore from 1970 to 2018. He received a doctorate in physics from the University of California in 1964 and worked at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory until his retirement in 1993.
Library officials said in a statement that the donation by Pan’s family funds online resources to support investment and business research, cultural diversity and education.
Some of those resources include ValueLine Investment Survey, expanded access to Morningstar’s investment service and Proquest U.S. Major Dailies, a newspaper service providing access to the Wall Street Journal as well as four other major national newspapers.
Additionally, Proquest Ethnic NewsWatch, Gale OneFile — Diversity Studies and Oxford Reference Library expand community access to resources focusing on cultural diversity; while continued access to Tutor.com supports the library’s commitment to education, according to library officials.
Anyone with a Livermore Public Library account can access these resources through the digital library.
While Pan’s family chose to remain anonymous, library officials said that the various digital tools are a reflection of what Pan’s interests were and were funded by his family’s donation in the hope that Pan’s life’s passions may benefit the library and community that he considered his home.
