Newsletter — August 1988

August, 1988 HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY Newsletter FALL BOOK SALE SEPTEMBER 10, 1988 9:30 AM We are getting ready for another book sale! Fiction, nonfiction, hardbacks, and paperbacks - and featured will be a large group of wonderful old Western novels. Volunteers are always needed and appreciated, for setting up the books in the morning and for help at closing time. Please call Myron Gazin (376-5765). As you know, if you were there, the Imaginary Caribbean Cruise Libation Party in the evening on August 20 was fabulous. Beautiful weather, great food, a book auction, a "surprise" auction, Polaroid portraits, and fine company. Our thanks once again to Betty and Bill Ryan for their hospitality. Librarian Ron Schneider reports that books in the California Collection have now been assembled in one central location in the library, instead of being dispersed throughout the general shelves. Over the years, one very special project of the Friends of the Library has been to build up this Californiana. With a generous donation from the Evelyn Harris Belasco Memorial Fund, additional volumes and copies have been acquired to complete the Caldecott and the Newbery Medal collection. All of the books have been catalogued and are now in a more visible spot in the children's area, with a commemorative plaque. Under the direction of Assistant Librarian Glenn Fox, the summer reading program has been a real success. Audiences at the Wednesday afternoon events have been enthusiastic. On August 31, under the sponsorship of the Friends of the Library, the closing program for the children will feature a special performance by "Giraffe and Staff," plus a drawing for prizes. More books, more compact discs, more books on tape - the funds from your support of the book sales have helped the Library in so many ways. We look forward to seeing you on September 10.
