Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library
550 Pier Avenue • Hermosa Beach, California 90254 • Telephone 374-8973
"Books like ships have the toughest armor, the largest cruising range and mount the most powerful guns." FDR
Love the library. Remember it is there for you, always beckoning with open arms.
VERY IMPORTANT DATE ! Annual meeting and election set for Wednesday, January 25, 7:30 P.M. Please bring the ballot shown below.
Despite the holidays, the library remains popular as ever, with circulation remaining stable throughout November and December.
Recent titles much in demand are THE THORN BIRDS, Colleen McCullough, THE HONOURABLE SCHOOLBOY, John le Carre, and THE SILMARILLION, J.R.R. Tolkien. Year-end FofL gifts to the library are BLACK MARBLE, Joseph Wambaugh, and TRUE CONFESSIONS, John Gregory Dunne, through our Literary Guild and Book of the Month Club subscriptions.
Chairman Evy Belasco reports the December book sale highly profitable. Profit 100%, since there are no purchase nor labor costs. Net was $180. Next sale will probably come in March.
Accomplishments of the FofL this year include membership questionnaires, new membership cards; book club subscriptions; additions to the California Collection; the bookmark design contest; gifts of books and puzzles for young readers; sponsoring the appearance of a magician for a children's program; yearbook editions of World Book Encyclopedia; subscriptions to the Los Angeles Times and National Wildlife; two books on soccer; a Christmas party for young library users, and the annual gift of candy to the library staff and the Hermosa Beach Fire Department, who put up our holiday lighting.
Please keep your membership current ($2 per adult, 25¢, juniors). We want to keep in touch, but mailing costs are rising.
