City of Hermosa Beach December 11, 1989 Mr. Kevin Northcraft City Manager City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, California 90254 Dear Mr. Northcraft: A year ago, in a conversation and confirming letters with Terri Edison, we were given to understand that there would be no problem with delivery of tables for our book sales. Specific dates were given for the four book sales in 1989 and for the annual party of the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library. However, there definitely have been problems. In August, Myron Gazin telephoned on Thursday, the 17th, and verified that the arrangements were all made for tables for the August 19 party. However, on Friday there were no tables ready as agreed. For our book sale on Saturday, December 2, when the tables had not been delivered on Friday, as arranged, Charlotte Malone finally got through to the only person available on Friday in the city offices and managed to get them delivered. Copies of the letters last January from our president, Charlotte Malone, and of the reply from Ms. Edison are enclosed. We are planning now for our book sales in 1990 and would like some assurance that the ongoing problems experienced during 1989 have been resolved. We feel that the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library have contributed a great deal, in the past thirty years, to the library and to the city. Certainly we try to cooperate with the city administration in every way. Thank you very much, Mr. Northcraft. Yours very truly, Bertha S. Dorsey Corresponding Secretary Enclosures--2
