HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
550 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, Calif. 90254
March 1971
Dear FRIEND:
A new year, time for new projects and goals, time to RENEW participation in Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library.
Our 1971 Membership drive got off to a big start when Mr. John John recruited a $100 sponsor membership from Mr. & Mrs. David Lagan, newcomers to our city. A big welcome to the Lagans and a vote of thanks to the enterprising Mr. John !
Your membership dollar is welcome NOW. Your past dollars have helped fund special books and study aids for readers of Hermosa Beach, which have not ordinarily been provided through county services. Your Friends' gifts have included the Harvard Classics, art books, the big illuminated globe, an extensive bibliography on California, foreign magazines, World Book Encyclopedia with annuals, the Chronicles of America and over 100 volumes of special high school supplementary reading recommended by the Mira Costa librarian.
This year, your dollar will help support our ever popular annual Children's Writing and Art Contest, a free film program, more California books and special aids to library services.
Latest gift: a year's subscription to the Sunday New York Times. It is in the library NOW. See it anytime.
We inaugurate the FREE FILMS program at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 11, in the City Council Chambers. The Friends have obtained films through the county library, and will sponsor a showing at 8 p.m. on the SECOND THURSDAY of each month. The programs are geared for a general audience (tell your friends, neighbors and kids) and range in subject from Kontiki to Elsa the Lioness.
Admission is on a first come first served basis. Film chairmen are Mmes. Robert Astone and Thomas Tanner. The first show will be an all sports program with four short color films: Ski the Outer Limits; Moods of Surfing; Sky Capers and Popsicle.
The annual Friends of the Library Children's Writing and Art contest starts April 11 with deadline May 7, according to Mrs. Christopher Shaw, chairman. Children in all Hermosa Schools, kindergarten thru eighth grade, are eligible. To volunteer your talents (posters, contact work, telephones, etc.) call Joan Shaw at 378-2871.
Have you noticed the shortened library hours? (Over-all belt-tightening by the county) New hours: Monday thru Wednesday, one to nine p.m.; Thursday and Friday, one to six; Saturday, one to five. It is possible a more generous schedule will be developed in July.
DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO NEEDS LIBRARY SERVICE in the home? If you, or someone you know, needs such service, please contact Mrs. Laird
