Friends Of Library Donate Books On California Lore
A full year of fund-raising activities by the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library resulted in acquisition by the Hermosa Library of some twenty-seven books covering world civilization and California lore. The annual book donation was announced this week by Mrs. John T. Hales, president of the Friends organization.
The new books were accepted for the Hermosa Beach County Library by Miss Carlotta Hoye, head librarian. She indicated the books are now available for use of Hermosa Beach residents.
Moneys acquired throughout 1965 for the book project, said Mrs. Hales, came from fund-raising events and from many individual contributions by members of the Friends.
The books were selected by the California Books committee, chairmaned by Mrs. Bert Corben. A complete nine-volume set of the story of civilization by Will Durant was obtained. Fiction and non-fiction books of California covering many subjects including the missions, the dons, earthquakes, deserts, Bunker Hill and the history of motion pictures made up the balance of gifts.
Mrs. Corben said that the new books are being added to an already established and growing collection of California books at the library. This collection has been developed by the Friends of the Library and by donations of individuals.
Acceptance of California books is always welcomed by the Hermosa Beach library.
Annual general meeting and election of officers of the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library will be held January 26, 10 a.m. at the library. Members are urged to attend as well as others who may be interested in the program of the Friends.
