Hermosa Beach Friends Of The Library Elect Annual Officers
The Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library elected new officers January 17, at the Hermosa Beach Library. Attending the meeting were about 15 club members, many long-time Hermosa Beach residents. New officers are: Charlotte Malone, President; John Hales, First Vice President; Al Valdes, Second Vice President; Bertha Dorsey, Corresponding Secretary; Bill Malone, Treasurer. Toni Empringham was nominated for Recording Secretary but withdrew her nomination due to conflicting commitments.
Created in September, 1959, the Friends of the Library serves as a governing body for the library's four annual book sales. The group serves as a planning committee for the library, and is constantly looking for ways to upgrade and improve library services. Last year the group donated heavily to the library, raising money from sidewalk book sales. "We had our most successful year last year," said President, Charlotte Malone.
Despite following fairly structured Parliamentary procedure, the group is social in nature, and its members seem to enjoy contributing to the library. "This is the nicest thing that happens in Hermosa Beach," said long-time member and past Hermosa Beach Mayor, Jack Belasco.
