Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library
550 Pier Avenue • Hermosa Beach, California 90254 • Telephone 374-8973
BOOK SALE....As always, it was a success, netting $157.35. Assuming that half the dollars represented books, and half, paperbacks and magazines, 322 books and 780 paperbacks and magazines were sold in about 3-1/2 hours. Thanks, once more, to Evie Belasco and her able helpers: Mary Lou and George Barks, Jack Belasco, Jeanne Carr, Betty and Gordon Evans, Cynthia Godofsky, Lorraine and John Hales, Delma Peery and Jean and George Schmeltzer.
Thanks also to Mickey Tague and his paramedic crew for transporting hundreds of books to the library.
CARNIVAL AND BOOKS.. On October 28, late afternoon to dusk, the Pier Avenue Community Center Advisory Committee is presenting a Halloween themed fun fair at the former Pier Ave. School. We are joining with other community service organizations in sponsoring a booth. We're selling (what else ?) paperbacks. Our stock is depleted. Please search your bookshelves, ask your Friends and neighbors and deposit paperbacks in the donation barrel at the library.
BOOK SALE....Next regular book sale to be held early in December. Information on exact date later.
CHILDRENS STORY HOUR VOLUNTEERS..Women, men and older teenagers are needed to take over this long-time rewarding service to children. Originally conducted by the Friends, the service has been handled by library staff in recent years. Story materials are furnished to the volunteers. Story session time is about 1 hour. Please contact Delma Peery (374-1582) to volunteer.
ANNUAL DUES..Some members have neglected to pay their annual $2.00 dues for 1978. Please cooperate and assist us in the continuation of our support of the library. Mail, or drop off your dues to the library.
Commiseration and well wishes are offered to Pat Gazin, Friends charter member and past president. She fractured her patella at high noon, First and Springs Sts, Los Angeles, on Aug. 7. Pat was hurrying to lunch amidst her Grand Jury duties when sidewalk and knee collided. Pat, with crutches, will continue her good citizen Grand Jury service.
