No fines on overdue books during local library week
National Library Week is Sunday April 5th, to Saturday, April 11th, and the Hermosa Beach Public Library will celebrate by holding a "Fine-Free Week." During the week, there will be no fines on overdue books returned in undamaged condition.
No fines will be assessed for the return of overdue books, pamphlets, records or 8mm films. The exceptions are 16mm films and videocassettes.
During Library Week, the Hermosa Beach Public Library especially welcomes patrons, says librarian Louise Mazerov. Regular programs will continue, including pre-school story time at 11 a.m. Thursday mornings and a children's film program at 10:30 a.m. every Saturday.
The Hermosa Beach Library was founded in 1913, and at that time was located at Pier Avenue and Hermosa Avenue. Mary Montgomery was the first library "custodian," according to a library spokesman. There were only a few books in the collection at that time.
Currently, the Hermosa Beach Public Library has about 85,000 books and subscribes to 147 magazines.
In addition, basic library services include information and referral service, film programs, tours and orientation, and special community programming as well as other services.
Information, 379-8475.
