In Memory of Coral Henning

We Remember

Coral Henning, the Director of the Sacramento County Public Law Library and a CLA board member from 2012 to 2016, died after a brief illness on March 28, 2019.  Coral's numerous contributions to expanding CLA's visibility in Sacramento included mounting two distinctive art shows at the law library and expanding the content of our education programs.  As an admitted foodie and leader in the Slow Food movement, Coral worked with our staff to produce an innovative seminar that was held in 2013 about writing cookbooks that included legal issues as well as practical information about how to research, interpret and write recipes. After her tenure as a board member, Coral continued to play an active role with our Sacramento Advisory Committee.  CLA Board Co-President Grace Bergen commented,

"She was a positive, giving person who will be greatly missed."

As the Director of the Sacramento County Pubic Law Library, Coral was a champion for all citizens to have free access to legal information. She was a trendsetter in the implementation of the Civil Self Help Center and also assisted in coordinating a community legal services group called "Connections"  that met annually. A graduate of San Francisco State University, Coral received a law degree from Golden Gate University and a Master of Library and Information Science from San Jose State University.  A celebration of Coral's life will be held at 11 am on Saturday, June 1 at Sierra 2 Center, 2791 24th Street, Sacramento, CA 95818.
