HOTTEST NEWS IN TOWN: Friends of the Library received a thank you note. From Brian Visser, winner of a $10 prize book certificate, in our spring writing contest.
Keep your eyes open...look around the library for our most recent gift. . . ten Argus posters are displayed about the building. That hippo looks especially friendly. Another recent gift is the green plastic barrel--to collect donations of books for future book sales.
Sandra Flint and Susan Horger are winners of the children's summer reading program, concluded early this month. Fifty-one young readers participated and 21 turned out for the farewell party in mid-month, featuring games, film, crafts, and yes, refreshments.
Carlotta Hoye, retired librarian, recently sent a gift of $10 to F of L. That's the kind of enthusiasm F of L appreciates.
Watch for these new additions to the California Collection. Chairman Betty Evans reports these two should be delivered soon: RUSTIC CANYON, Story of the Uplifters by Betty Young; and California Historical Atlas.
BICENTENNIAL: Did you spot the ancient report card in this month's display? A loan from Danny Purpus, it was issued to Janet Bolton by the Hermosa Beach City schools, dated 1915-16.
Resignation of Vice-President Jacqueline Wofford was recently accepted by our President Evelyn Belasco, with regret. We are indebted to Ms. Wofford for her many contributions of time and energy. We'll miss her!
HELP is needed for a new library outreach program for shut-ins. A few hours donated each month will mean books and films for residents of the Bay Shore Sanitarium in Hermosa, and other shut-ins who may wish to have books delivered to their homes. This new program is being introduced county-wide and volunteers are invited to join through each local county library To offer your time, call FR 48973.

Our library staff headed by Shari Petresky, now includes Carol Tanner, Rio Shimane, Fran Zinsley, Joyce Uyeno and Katie Monnich. Miss Petresky reports that despite vacations, circulation for this August was higher than for the same period last year. Circulation for July and June was 8,840 and 9,822 respectively.
We have been spending-- Posters, book barrel and now...an early Christmas present for the library will be delivered in October! A games rug, 6' x 10', authorized by a consensus of the board as a progressive addition to the children's section. This practically depletes our treasury (cost: $110), but that's what the treasury is for...gifts for the library.
