HOLIDAY BOOK SALE
DECEMBER 5, 1987
9:30 AM
Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library
550 Pier Ave.
Hermosa Beach, Calif. 90254
Save the day from your holiday schedule. Mark it on your calendar. Come to our December book sale on Saturday, the 5th. Donations may be left at the Library before Friday, December 4. If you have a large number of books (wonderful thought) to be picked up or if you can volunteer to help, please call Jack Belasco (374-3132) or Myron Gazin (376-5765).
Proceeds from the sale, with matching funds from Jack, will go to the Evelyn Harris Belasco Memorial Fund.
The Belasco Fund provided $1,000 during 1987 for three special programs at the Library, designed to interest children in books. The third program,on December 18 at 4:00 PM, will be Coyote Tales presented by the Sierra Puppet Theater. In these Native American tales "old legends come to life from the First Days, when animals could talk!"
With a total of $4,297.58, plus $548.97 from interim sales, income from book sales so far this year has broken all records. We'll give special thanks on Thanksgiving Day for the support received from all of you, and in particular for the work of those who have sorted books and collected books and spent hours working in front of the library building on sale days.
The Friends have been able to provide the Library with two LePac computers, one for the use of the staff and another for public use, a real step into the future--in fact, two steps. We have also helped Librarian Ron Schneider to begin a collection of compact discs, which have proved very popular.
Recent additions to the California Collection, reported by Betty Evans, include a book on Malibu, another on the Malibu Pottery, one on the Chumash Indians, and one on California historical landmarks.
Pat and Myron Gazin are back from a visit to Washington, D.C. They met James Billington, the new Librarian of Congress, and were given a two-hour tour of the Library. A privilege, indeed.
For the calendar: December 9, 1987. Board Meeting. Library. 7:30 PM.
January 20, 1988. Annual General Meeting & Election. Library. 7:30 PM. All members welcome.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, December 5. Come one, come all!
