Happy New Year! Congratulations are due every member of this organization for nearly 20 years of accomplishment and generosity to the library. 1979 will mark the 20th. anniversary of the founding of Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library. It will also record the 66th year as part of the Los Angeles County Public Library system. Hermosa Beach joined the County in 1913, as did Willowbrook, Compton, Lawndale and Moneta.
The Hermosa Friends began with an organizational meeting in the autumn of 1959; a wide-ranging membership drive successfully ensued, and the first annual election was set for January 1960. Some of those founders include Naoma Valdes, Wilma Burt, Sako Miho, Helen Tracy, Ruth Treadgold, Patricia Gazin and librarian Dorothy Olney. (Does anyone have a complete list? We will be proud to publish it in the next newsletter).
Clyde W. Malone Jr., native Californian, graduate of USC law school and former Hermosa civil service commissioner, has accepted nomination for presidency of Friends of the Library for 1979.
Annual meeting and election are slated for Wednesday, January 31, 7:30 p.m. at the library. Rosemary Foreman, former news editor of the South Bay Review, is nominee for vice-president. Curtney Harris, former Hermosa Beach Woman's Club prexy is nominee for treasurer and Joan Greenwald, tax wizard, is nominee for corresponding secretary.
Cynthia Godofsky, who has nobly served this post, resigned nomination to repeat this year because of a fire to her home. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended, and a replacement is needed. Volunteer, anyone?
REMEMBER - Wednesday, January 31, at the library. ELECTION.
In anticipating impact of Proposition 13 on library services, Friends must realize that their active support is now more important than ever. Moral and financial support are crucial. Memberships and book sales profits (book magnate Evy Belasco reports net of $218.00 from the December 9 event), will help shore up services which might otherwise be sacrificed. (Example, our Christmas gift of $450.00 worth of magazine subscriptions).
