WELCOME TO A NEW DECADE.
GREAT NEWS! President C. W. Malone, Jr. (Bill) and Treasurer Curtney Harris have consented to serve another year. The Nominating Committee is pleased to present the rest of a strong slate:
Vice-President...................Joan Greenwald
Recording Secretary..............Harriet Rauschenberger
Corresponding Secretary..........Cynthia Godofsky
Election will be conducted Wednesday, January 16, 1980 at 7:30 P.M. at the library. Mark your new calendar now.
December 8, 1979 is the date for our next bargain book sale at 10:00 A.M. in front of the library. As a special gesture of FRIENDship, in the spirit of the season, Chairman Evie Belasco reports that textbooks will be given away FREE. Donations of books may be deposited at the library.
Through these sales, F.O.L. has this year donated $800.00 for 79 books for our library. No books have been received from L. A. County for 2 years. More... from California Collection Chairman Betty Evans, latest acquisitions: AS I LIVED IT, a history of the L. A. Y.M.C.A. by Harold Wagner; SUTTER'S FORT, a first edition by Oscar Lewis; SAN FRANCISCO'S REIGN OF TERROR by John Wagner; FROM THE HEARTLAND by Lawrence Clark Powell. Still more... from the Board, recent periodicals renewed: Antiques, Tennis, Saturday Review, Field and Stream, Consumer Report.
The Libations for the Library, revived by President Bill Malone, was a tremendous success. It was meant to be fun, and it was, but showed a net profit of $198.00. Many thanks to Cele Vaughn (Doerfling) for opening her beautiful home to the Friends, and to Joan Greenwald and Jacqueline Wofford for their efforts.
Librarian Shari Petresky reports that circulation at our library has decreased from an average of 10 to 12 thousand monthly last year to 8 or 9 thousand monthly this year. She attributes the decrease to Monday closings.
Friends of the Library Jeanne Carr and Joanne Purpus served as judges for the recent children's bookmark contest sponsored by the library. Winners were: Yancy Berns, Karen Horger and James Silvers. The winning entries will be forwarded to regional library competition and hopefully to compete in countywide final judging.
Story hour for pre-schoolers will continue through the holiday season each Thursday at 10:45 A.M.
Belated Thanksgiving and holiday greetings, and special thanks for help throughout the year to Joan Greenwald, Pat Gazin (publicity), Delma Peery, Curtney Harris, Evie and Jack Belasco, the Hales, Jackie Wofford, Charlotte Malone (for stamp licking, folding and addressing) and Terry Malone (for typing newsletter).
