November newsletter announcing incorporation

HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY Joan Greenwald, President November 1981 Friends of the Library is now a California Corporation. This act was approved by the Board in view of our increasing affluence and responsibility. This success has been caused by the monetary success of our fund raisers such as the Libations, four book sales per year and the establishment of the Evelyn Harris Belasco Memorial Fund. Our thanks go to Clyde W. Malone, Jr. for the donated legal work and Jack Belasco for donating the corporation costs. Christmas Is Coming! And our December Book Sale is just around the corner. The sale starts at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 5th in front of the Library. Donations of books are always welcome. Before the sale, please bring your books to the green barrel in the Library. Volunteers are always welcome at the sale. If you wish to help, contact Jack Belasco at 374-2125 or Pat Gazin at 376-5765. Proceeds from the December sale will go to the Evelyn Harris Belasco Memorial Fund to be matched by Jack Belasco. Eventually, proceeds so earned will be invested in Scholarships and Children's programs. Unlike the rest of the world, FOL book prices will remain stable. At least for this sale! Most hardback books will sell for 50¢ while most paperback books will sell for 25¢. A few books will be priced higher because of their special value. Treasurer Clyde Malone reports that this is how we spent our money during 1981: California Collection | $ 150.00 Subscription | 325.00 Library ** | 819.96 | $1,295.96 ** Books, Dictionary Stand, Summer Reading Flier and Bookmark Contact Prizes. Librarian Louise Mazerov reports that circulation has increased by four hundred over the same period last year. She attributes this rise to the increase of children using the Library; which she in turn attributes to the missionary work of Janet Riles. Mrs. Riles, Library Assistant for Children's Programs has visited every school in Hermosa Beach, including the preschools. Joan Greenwald recently returned from an extensive voyage to England. While in England, she did quite a bit of "book hunting." Secretary Delma Peery reported on FOL activities to the Hermosa Beach Coordinating Council. The Southwest region includes Hermosa, Manhattan, Carson, Lawndale and Lomita. Any complaints or comments Pat Gazin was recently elected Chariman of the Southwest Region of the Los Angeles County Library Advisory Council. This group is composed of volunteer Library devotees whose task is to serve as liason between Library users and Administrators. The Southwest region includes most South Bay cities.
