COUNTY FIGURES
Walteria Library 'Busiest'
Torrance has the busiest county library per square foot of space in the Fourth Supervisorial District, according to a release today from Supervisor Burton Chace.
The small, 810-square-foot Walteria Library, Chace said, gets more use in proportion to space than any other in the district and probably will be enlarged to 5000 square feet.
He did not give a date for the possible expansion.
An addition to Manhattan Beach branch was dedicated last month, increasing floor space to 4422 square feet, and preliminary plans and architectural designs are being developed by the county engineer for a new building in Manhattan Heights.
Plans for a new 6000-square-foot Hermosa Beach building are well under way, Chace said. This will approximately double Hermosa library space.

Cooking School Profits Used For Two Books
A cooking school sponsored by Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library has resulted in funds for additional books.
The class was given through the courtesy of the Southern California Edison Co.
Proceeds from the school were used to buy the books by Guy de Maupassant, and Alexandre Dumas.
Library Gets Group Backing
ROLLING HILLS — The first meeting of the "Friends of the Library" will be held at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the home of the Robert Hoffmans, 26803 Basswood Ave.
The purpose of the group will be to work toward making the Palos Verdes Library District "one of the best in the country," a spokesman said.
The Palos Verdes Library District encompasses the peninsula from Miraleste to Portuguese Bend.
At present there is only one library, located in the Palos Verdes Plaza area.
AREA LIBRARY NEEDS AID IN COVER-UP JOB
INGLEWOOD — Anyone want to help the Inglewood Public Library in a big cover-up job? Librarian John Perkins wants volunteers to help him cover up a few things at the city's three libraries—specifically hundreds of newly arrived books.
No censorship is involved. It's just that before the books can be loaned they must be encased in protective plastic covers.
Volunteers may report to the main library or either of the city's two branch libraries any day after 10 a.m., Perkins said.
