Friends of the Library raise more than $200 at sale With books priced at a dime for paperbacks and a quarter for hardbacks, one wouldn't think the Friends of the Library could raise much money at their periodic book sales. On Saturday, however, the group raised more than $200 for library improvements and scholarships by selling neary 1,000 books donated by Hermosa Beach residents. The sale, in front of the Hermosa Beach Library, ran from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, and also featured a grab bag of give-aways. Organizers of the event included Laura Nations, Jean Carr, John and Lorraine Hales, and Billand Charlotte Malone. Friends of the Library, active for more than 18 years in Hermosa Beach, uses the funds to keep magazine subscriptions current and provides financial aid to students majoring in library science.
