September 1971 HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY September 1971 550 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, Calif. Dear FRIEND: MARK your calendar now! Fall board meeting is 10 a.m., Wednesday, October 20 (at the library). ALL MEMBERS are welcome. The next FREE FILM will be KONTIKI, 8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 14 at City Hall. This program which has been running monthly since March, nurtured by Mmes. Robert Astone and Tom Tanner, has proved highly successful. The public appreciates it. We're rich! Treasurer Lorraine Hales reports our bank balance is $575.52. Of this $304 is sheer profit from the libations event in June. Our biggest single book acquisition to date is THE AMERICAN INDIANS, two volumes, $105, purchased by the Gazin collection. This is Indian history as compiled by the Indians themselves. The edition is numbered and limited. For history buffs especially it will be a truly valuable addition to our lore of the Southwest. And because the edition is sold out, our purchase will prove a prized rare book. It should be in the library when you read this, so be sure to see it. Selection was by Mrs. Hales, who is chairman for the collection. CALIFORNIANA chairman Mrs. Gordon Evans reports she has ordered CALIFORNIA'S CHANGING LANDSCAPE plus other volumes on California travel and nature. FOR YOUR RESEARCH, nostalgia or sheer pleasure, a microfilm reader is available. (A gift through Friends, of course.) It is easy to operate Microfilm collections include information from foreign and domestic newspapers and magazines and government documents and subjects range from astronautics to 16th Century government, packaging, paleontology and pets! ASK THE LIBRARIANS ABOUT THIS SERVICE. (Note: We have a copying machine again. This is NOT the property of F. of L. It is a concession arrangement on contract with the L. A. County library system. Duplicating costs 15 cents. CHILDREN'S HOUR: Now there are two. Preschoolers' story hour starts Sept. 30 and will meet each Thursday at 2 p.m. There's another at 3:45 each Wednesday for primary students. Tell your little friends. LIBRARY SERVICE FOR SHUT-INS is underway, under the aegis of vice-president Mrs. Laird Stabler. Volunteers are Mmes. William B. Wofford, M. Richter and Miss Deedee Foley. Duties are light, pleasant, enriching.
