MARCH, 1986 "To enter a library is to enter the whirlwind." -------------- Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library 550 Pier Ave. Hermosa Beach, Calif. 90254 Our SPRING BOOK SALE is coming up fast. March 22 is the big date, 9:30 A.M. at the library. Donations of books are needed. Please scan your shelves with an eye to culling titles you no longer need. Book donations may be dropped at the library. Volunteers to help with book sorting and the sale are always welcome. Call Book Sale Chairman Jack Belasco, at 374-3132 or 374-8055 to volunteer or for pick up of large donations. A large "THANK YOU!" is overdue to Isolde and Bernard Whitney who gave (for an earlier sale) many boxes of books. Your donation will be appreciated too. Your generosity turns discarded books into dollars which buy new items for our library users. For example, Librarian Louise Mazerov expects delivery this week of a new crop of Books on Tape including such titles as: EYE OF THE NEEDLE, BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI, THE TIME MACHINE. Also expected soon are many music cassettes: Bach's BRANDENBURG CONCERTI, Copland's APPALACHIAN SPRING, Mozart's DON GIOVANNI. All these gifts are made possible by Friends of the Library. Thinking of gifts to the Hermosa Beach Friends, consider the possibility of gifts in memorium. Direct bequests in a will, money, or a book collection may preserve the memory of a loved one. We have already as example the F. W. Flake Memorial Record Collection and cabinet. The Evelyn Harris Belasco Memorial Fund has made gifts of $2000 to the children's collection. The Virginia Stoneman reference library was a splendid direct gift to the sales program several years ago. Betty Evans recently announced additions to our California Collection. These include CALIFORNIA ACCESS GUIDE, PIECES OF EIGHT (CHANNEL ISLANDS), TO DIE IN BEVERLY HILLS, WATERBIRDS OF CALIFORNIA, TOWN WITH A FUNNY NAME, SLOW DAYS AND FAST COMPANY, CANNERY ROW, JOHN STEINBECK COOK BOOK, LULU IN HOLLYWOOD, JACK LONDON STORIES OF ADVENTURE and others too numerous to mention. These were all purchased in the last year with FoL dollars. AT THE LIBRARY...You may have noticed new floor tile around the circulation desk. This was set in place in the first week of March. Income Tax Forms (Fed. and State) are ready and waiting. Volunteer tax advisors are in the library Wednesday, Friday and Saturday afternoons. NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK - - - APRIL 6-12, 1986
