Chairman Evy Belasco & Co-Chairman Jacqueline Wofford need volunteers plus book donations. Call 374-3132 or 370-8357, respectively, to volunteer. Book donations may be deposited at library. Our last book sale realized nearly $400 for our projects of purchasing new books for our library & other goals.

Opportunity knocks. If you have been interested in helping the library and are willing to volunteer hours, the time has come. The County is about to introduce a volunteer training program.

Christmas in the spring . . Hermosa Beach Senior Citizens' Club has donated $25 to the Friends of the Library for gifts to the library. The library was chosen as the group's prime beneficiary for the year.
Librarian Shari Petresky reminds us that the library always welcomes donations of games, comic books & jigsaw puzzles. They keep children happy while parents browse.
Ms. Petresky also says that recent best sellers are much in demand, and no new books are coming in because of the library's financial crisis, so gifts of best sellers would be EXTREMELY WELCOME. If any Book of the Month or Literary Guild issues are cluttering your shelves, you can be sure they will find a home at the Hermosa Beach library.
