SAVE THIS DATE, Friday, June 24.
LIBATIONS FOR THE LIBRARY will be held from 5:00 P.M. on, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Whitney, 72 Strand, parking permits available. Renew old friendships, make new ones, enjoy hors d'oeuvres and take a chance on a mystery door prize. Get tickets and more detail from Evy Belasco, Pat Gazin, Lorraine Hales, Charlotte Malone, Carol Tanner, Isolde Whitney and at the library.
The holiday book sale was very successful, netting $186. Books for young readers were featured. The appeal was wide-spread. Many are on their way to the northernmost tip of Alaska, Pt. Barrow, for teaching English to Eskimo youngsters. Others will supplement programs in South Central Los Angeles, and Social Studies classes at Mira Costa. Librarian Shari Petresky reports that circulation was unusually high that Saturday as a result of our activity. Special thanks to Jean Carr, Laura Nations, Bill and Charlotte Malone, John and Lorraine Hales, who worked the sale. More sales planned for September and December.
Bicentennial display will wrap up in two months. Current exhibit by Don Arwine will be replaced by more memorabilia from Arwine's family in the east.
As everywhere, ROOTS, by Alex Haley, is getting a lot of attention at our library. We have four copies, most out all the time. Erma Bombeck's latest is also much in demand. President Pat Gazin reports on gift purchases of 2 copies of PASSAGES by Gail Sheehy and a Book of the Month Club subscription from the Friends to the library.
Winners of the Bookmark contest were Becky Romero, 7; Jeff Petersen, 11; Andy Bergloff, 13. In addition to the Friends gift ($10 gift certificate) each winner received a $25.00 bond from the Hermosa Beach Police Ass'n. Our thanks to them and many others for their support.
Children's Story Hour will begin this month at the library. FofL creative writing contest is scheduled for July.
See you June 24.
