HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
550 Pier Avenue
Hermosa Beach, Ca. 90254
Books are keys to wisdom's treasures
Books are gates to land of pleasure
Books are paths that upward lead;
Books are friends. Come, let us read.
We now have $1,000 worth of NEW books and records at the library, awaiting the pleasure of your acquaintance. Louise Mazerov, librarian, reports that the Friends' gift has been fully invested. Record selections were made to beef up the jazz collection. So the new purchase includes George Benson, Miles Davis, Al Jarreau, Mose Allison, plus some Burns and Allen, Mystery Theatre and the newest Barbra Streisand item, GUILTY.
Book subjects range from ballet, science fiction, travel, shopping how-to, fashions, menu, food, gourmand and epicure interests, STILL LIFE WITH WOODPECKER, six novels of D.H. Lawrence and MUSIC FOR CHAMELEONS. The total is 38 new titles. They include large print books for which there is a heavy request. THE DUKE OF DECEPTION by Geoffrey Wolf is on order and may be in by the time you read this.
CHRISTMAS BOOK SALE, Saturday, December 6, starting at 10:00 a.m., at the library, as is customary. Bargains Galore!
Selections will be particularly inviting as we have had generous donations from two members who are moving. Ruth Duncan is moving to Leisure World (where she will find ready-made friend Dorothy Olney, former FofL president and long time librarian.) Jeanne Carr is moving from one household to another, but fortunately for us, remaining in Hermosa Beach; Anna Campolo donated a "whole batch of books" simply because she is generous. YOU may donate too. Just bring your books to the library.
A reminder: proceeds of this sale (one per year) will go to the Friends' Evy Belasco Memorial Fund .... to be eventually invested for scholarship goals.
December 5, Friday, THIS IS A SPECIAL WEEK. It marks the seventh anniversary of Carol Tanner's debut at the Hermosa Beach Library! Friends and the library staff will celebrate with a reception for Carol at the library from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.; coffee, cake and kudos.
You've noticed a new face at the libe? Janet Riles, new library assistant in Hermosa Beach early this month. A native of New Orleans, she holds a B.A. in English from and has worked with the L.A. County Library system for four years, serving earlier in Hawthorne and Gardena. This position is filled for the first time since the retirement of Kathryn Ditmar.
Gary Strong, new state librarian who replaces Ethel Crockett in Sacramento, has already visited the Hermosa Beach Library. He was in the beach area November First for a regional meeting, and visited here at the time.
