BOOK SALE: Proceeds from Saturday's sale were $1,122.58.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT: Ron Schneider presented a request from Assistant Librarian Glenn Fox for $250 to fund the summer reading program and $100 for craft supplies. Pat Gazin moved to approve these amounts; Bill Malone seconded. So ordered. Mr. Schneider has spent all but the following amounts from previous FOL allocations: $78 for books, $91 for Books on Tape, $150 for audiocassettes, and $42 for CDs. He requested the following sums for new expenditures: $600 for books ($300 from FOL and $300 donated by the Women's Club of Hermosa Beach for that purpose), $200 for Books on Tape, $200 for videos based on literary classics, and $200 for CDs. Pat Gazin moved for approval of these sums; Bill Malone seconded. So ordered. Finally, Mr. Schneider asked for $250 to purchase a CD display case. Bill Malone moved to approve, and Pat Gazin seconded. So ordered. VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS DIRECTOR Madalena Bastos-Connelly reported to the Board that special event liability insurance was available from Gulf Insurance at reasonable rates; the amount of the premium is relative to the number of people at each event. Coverage for a group of from 1 to 100 persons is $35; from 100 to 500 persons is $75. Charlotte Malone suggested an allocation of $70 for September and December 1989 book sales. Bill Malone moved for approval of coverage in the 1-100 person category for both sales and John Hales seconded. So ordered. Pat Gazin suggested exploring the possibility of coverage by the City of Hermosa Beach, and Mrs. Malone replied that she would investigate this area. In closing, Mrs. Bastos-Connelly invited members to the annual Friends of the Library Exchange to be held this year in Walnut on Saturday, September 16. PUBLICITY AND REGIONAL REPORT: Pat Gazin displayed notices of the June sale which appeared in local outlets. She then reported that County Librarian Linda Crismond will be resigning and that Sandra Reuben will be Acting Librarian until a replacement is hired. Because this year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library, Mrs. Gazin will be working on a celebration feature to air on Channel 10 in August or September.

MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETING--14 JUNE 1989 Page 2 CALIFORNIA COLLECTION: Charlotte Malone read Betty Evans' account of recent acquisitions: San Francisco: Calamity by Earthquake and Fire, Adobes in the Sun by Augusta Fink, Recipes for Living in Big Sur, The Zane Grey Cookbook by Barbara & George Reiger--all purchased with money from the Lorraine Hales Memorial Fund. She also added two books to the collection from sale donations: The Los Angeles Book by Lee Shippey and California and Other Stories of Grace by Phyllis Therous. LIBATIONS: Charlotte Malone asked for volunteers for this year's event. In the absence of any such volunteers there will be no Libations in 1989. BOOK SALE ADDENDA: (1) John Hales commented that spreading the nonfiction books along the sidewalk was a good idea. (2) He suggested that all specially priced books should remain in one location, preferably the Collectors' Corner. (3) He requested that gaps not be left between tables and unpaved areas to discourage patrons from destroying landscaping. (4) Ron Schneider asked that the group decide on a closing time because people have been coming after sales are over. It was agreed that sale hours will be 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (5) The idea was again raised of holding all or part of the sale in the parking lot to increase accessibility. Charlotte Malone suggested that this plan be explored by next year's book sale chairman. The meeting concluded after Bertha Dorsey made a motion to adjourn at 8:18 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Toni Empringham
