MIN. Jan 30-74 p. 3
Extensive discussion about rousing public awareness to the fact that Hermosa Beach has a number of resident authors. The librarian, Alice Lovelace pointed out that setting these authors apart in a special HERMOSA AUTHORS section might actually diminish their circulation, as readers generally seek a book under subject interest rather than author's name. Consensus was that signs or plaques lsiting the names of Hermosa's authors would be preferable. Such a system will call attention as desired.. without isolating Hermosa authors from the general collection.
M by Tuerner, authorize a plaque listing our authors. Second by Waters. Passed unanimously.
Mrs. Gazin reported that in a recent visit to the Santa Ana city library she spotted a plaque showing the names of persons who had served as president of the SA FofL and suggested it would be a good idea for HB to do the same.
M: to enhance the image of HB FofL, remind readers we serve the library, and are a venerable instituion, authorize purchase of a wooden plaque with metal plates individually listing each president by name, with years served. Second by Mr. John John. Passed unanimously.
Ms. Ryan thanked the hospitality committee( ) and adjourned the meeting at 9:15.
Friendly discourse thereafter.
Respectfully submitted,
Patricia A. Gazin
