BOARD MEETING
September 29, 1976 7:30 P.M.
MINUTES were read and corrected as follows: The Libations for the Library were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Waters. Minutes were then approved.
TREASURER'S REPORT showed a balance in our account of $256.08.
BOOK SALE. A barrel has been placed in the Library to collect books all year around. Since collected books cannot be stored at the Library, Shari Petresky suggested that we have more frequent sales. A County policy allows us to obtain discards from the Library for our book sales. December 4 was chosen as the date for the next sale, to be held in the parking lot. There were several volunteers to help.
OLD BUSINESS
We regret to announce the resignation of Jackie Wofford as Vice-President. We appreciate the immense amount of time and energy she has contributed to our organization.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Librarian's report. Shari Petresky thanked us for the posters and game rug for the children's area. The Library has also received a number of donations of games and puzzles which are being used frequently. Shari suggested some future projects, including possibly joining the Literary Guild or Book of the Month Club in order to obtain more copies of best sellers which have very long waiting lists. These books would be signified as gifts of the FOL but according to County policy would be County property. Shari also showed us anti-theft posters for a possible purchase and asked for donations of travel pamphlets and information to supply the many requests for current materials.
2. Dorothy Olney collected fifteen new memberships for us.
3. Pat Gazin described our next display which will be scripts of plays dating from the 1800's.
4. California Collection. Shari has placed the collection throughout the Library and she finds that the books circulate more than when they were on one shelf. Each book is designated as a part of the Collection but there was discussion regarding a plaque listing the whole collection. Evie Belasco appointed Betty Evans, Shari Petresky and Delma Peery to decide on the type of sign or plaque.
5. Fran Zinsley reported that the Hermosa Beach Library in conjunction with the HALO program provides for book and film service to those in convalescent homes or other shut-ins in the community. She needs volunteers to help, especially on film day at the Bayshore Sanitarium.
6. Evie Belasco thanked Pat Gazin for obtaining the colorful game rug which has been well received by the children.
As there was no other business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
