The following information was published with a photograph in the Almanac's print edition:

At the grand old age of 23 months, Josue Hernandez has already developed an abiding attachment to books.

The party, held at the library at 415 Ivy Drive in Menlo Park, also had music, refreshments, a raffle, balloon animals and a belly dancer.
