HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
550 Pier Avenue
January, 1974
Good news to begin our new year. An EVENING OPEN HOUSE, 7:30 P.M., Wednesday, January 30 at the Library. We especially welcome those who have been unable to attend the daytime meetings. Let's make Friends.
1973 was a productive year. At our October meeting, Treasurer Carol Tanner reported a balance of $604.79. Our annual Libations party made $194.80; Book Sale, $135.25. The latter proved so apt and painless a fund raiser, that we plan to participate again in "The Arts and Crafts By The Sea". Please start saving your books for this May event.
We are the first Friends group in the County to offer a scholarship. The recipient of $100.00 was Arlene Choi, Library Aide at Gardena Library. Miss Choi has been with the County Library System since 1970 and was highly recommended by her supervisor for her general dedication and singular helpfulness with children. The Board recommended that this be an annual gift of $100.00, or more, to an applicant involved in library work and committed to a career in Library Science. Library students of this region(Region III) will be given priority. Many thanks to Margaret Parker, Dorothy Olney and Pat Gazin, and her committee, for their diligence in carrying out this Board action.
The 1974 Children's Creative Writing and Illustrating Contest is scheduled for April 27. Notices will be sent to schools in February. We provided assistance in judging, as well as $60.00 for book prizes to 42 winners in 1973.
We're still collecting. We budgeted $50.00 for the FLAKE COLLECTION for records for circulation. CALIFORNIA COLLECTION Chairman, Betty Evans, reports purchase of 18 books. Among the latest are TENDERFOOT IN CALIFORNIA (1912) and CALIFORNIA DESERTS. Newest addition to the GAZIN COLLECTION is EARLY SUNSET MAGAZINES (1898-1928). A wide range of 1973 acquisitions will be on display for your perusal or browsing.
Come see what your past support has accomplished. Bring a Friend to this General Meeting. Election of 1974 officers will be held.
