FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY board meeting was held August 27, 1962, at the home of President Mary Edgerton. Minutes were read and approved. Mrs. Alice Michaelson, standing in for Corresponding Secretary Kay Pontius, read letters of appreciation received from various persons concerning the dedication and following reception at the new Hermosa Beach library. These will be found in the Corresponding Secretary's file. Mrs. Dorothy Olney, librarian, reported that the Wilson Co. had increased the price of the book review digests from $10.00 per volume to $14.00. Sako Miho gave the treasurer's report showing a balance of $582.19. (Previous balance of $567.19 had been augmented by the $15.00 gift from Las Quince Damas.) Bills totaling $353.65 were presented. Payment was approved on a motion by Bea Bond and seconded by Irene Mason. (Bills included $211.18 for the globe, $114.40 for 20th Century Views, $7.18 for postage and stationery, $3.75 for paper cups for the dedication reception and $9.96 for other expenses in connection with the dedication.) Mrs. Edgerton brought up a criticism of the globe made by John Rieger. Mr. Rieger questioned the modernity of it. It was then decided to withhold payment for the globe until we received an explanation and/or clarification from manufacturers Donner & Dippert. It was decided in view of the little time left before the opening of school not to have a story hour this year. It was decided to sell the patio furniture (umbrella table and four chairs) and five rolls of bamboo screening which had been used in the patio of the old library building but unuseable in the new library. It was decided to order Friends of the Library letter-heads and envelopes. Some discussion was held on plans for the Christmas tea, but plans were not finalized. Respectfully submitted,
