AUGUST, 1987
FALL BOOK SALE
SEPTEMBER 12, 1987
9:30 - 2:30
Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library
550 Pier Ave.
Hermosa Beach, Calif. 90254
September is almost here - Labor Day parades, school days (oh, happy parents!) and the FALL BOOK SALE at the Library on September 12.
The June sale was a tremendous success, with total receipts of more than $1,700. Our thanks to all those who worked long and hard to achieve such a wonderful result, a new record.
While we are using terms like "wonderful" let's look back to the Libations on August 22 - a joyous fiesta, complete with mariachi music. Muchas gracias, once again, to Edie Webber and all those who helped her in the arrangements and to Betty Ryan for her hospitality.
Funds from the Friends of the Library have enabled Librarian Ron Schneider to acquire 33 compact discs for the audio section. These new compact discs (which range from classical to country and from movie and stage soundtracks to rock) have proved so popular that more funds will probably be given for this collection.
Returning to the coming book sale, Pat Gazin is preparing another large group of "special" books. This section invariably attracts interest - and cash.
There will be records on sale again. Is there anyone among our members with special expertise, who could help in pricing the records?
Volunteers are always needed to sort books and carry books and arrange books. Please call either Jack Belasco (374-3132) or Myron Gazin (376-5765). Donations of books, of course, are always welcome.
Do you remember Walter Huston's recording of "September Song" from Knickerbocker Holiday? (It was such a classic that maybe there will even be a compact disc available.) The words said something about its being a long, long way from May to December, but that the days grow short when you reach September. With that in mind, here is the schedule for the rest of 1987:
September 12: FALL BOOK SALE.
September 16: Board Meeting. Library. 7:30 PM.
All members are welcome.
December 5: CHRISTMAS BOOK SALE.
December 9: Board Meeting. Library. 7:30 PM.
