550 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach
"A man will turn over half a library to make one book."
Samuel Johnson, who ought to know, turned over most of the libraries in London in the making of his dictionary.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE....A splendid opportunity to increase your OWN library. Our bargain book sale, summer edition, is slated for Saturday, June 12th at 10:00 a.m. in front of our library. Who dunnits, how to do it, how to make it, plus fiction and biography, all available at MODEST prices. Come one and all! Bring your friends!
COMING INNOVATION: The Board recently agreed to experiment with a new permanent book stall at the library. Books will be for sale. Prices will be marked on the volumes and a donation box stationed beside the items for sale. Customers will be on their honor to pay for the books. Collection will not be a responsiblility of the library. Other libraries and their FOL groups have had fine results with this little enterprise.
ACRES OF BOOKS in Long Beach appears to be living on borrowed time. Redevelopment has surrounded it with new and costly commerical enterprise. If you are interested, say so to the Long Beach City Council.

For further information, write to California State Library Foundation, PO 2037, Sacramento, California 95809.
At home, our librarian, Louise Mazerov, reports there is a big increase in interest in "How to do it" books, repair projects, do-it-yourself instructions. Remember Britain during the war?...."Use it up, wear it out, make it do!" Are readers getting down to brass tacks?
Students are working harder. The evidence: more and heavier homework assignments. Interests range from World War I, science experiments, California missions, foreign countries to the human digestive system. According to children's specialist Janet Riles, readership is expanding in science fiction and mysteries. She rates Judy Blume the all time favorite of younger readers. Tiger Eyes is practically a classic.
Our President, Joan Greenwald is globetrotting. This time she's in Thailand. California Chairman, Betty Evans, is in Europe.
FANTASTIC ADVENTURE....THE GREAT BOOK EXCAPE is the theme for this summer reading program. The program starts 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 24th with Dennis Fourel, the Balloon Man. Mark your calendar for August 14th. This is the 20th Anniversary of the opening of the new library building.
