HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS of the LIBRARY NEWSLETTER GET OUT YOUR CALENDAR: The MARCH BOOK SALE will be held on SATURDAY, MARCH 3, from 9:30 to 1:00, in front of the library at 550 Pier Avenue. We will be offering quite a few large print books, books on Baja California, lots of paperback Louis L'Amour westerns, and loads of science fiction! Be sure to tell your biblio-phile friends; they'll thank you for it. More donations (of books - NO magazines, please!) are still needed, of course, so weed out those bookshelves... We also need volunteers to work at the sale. Come on, it's fun! Volunteers must be current members of Friends of the Library. If you want to help out, leave your name at the library (phone 379-8475). While you're at it, you might want to mark the other 1990 book sale dates: June 2, September 8, and December 8. The December sale includes the Authors' Boutique. If you know of any local authors who should be invited to participate, call Jack Belasco at 374-3132. SPEAKING OF BOOK SALES, don't forget the "interim book sale". There are four big bookshelves of hardback books, just inside the front door of the library; these books can be had for fifty cents apiece. Check it out! Many of these are books that would cost you fifteen or twenty dollars elsewhere. WHY DO WE DO IT? Well, of course it's fun, but the Friends of the Library also has a serious side. According to head librarian Ron, in the last few months the Friends have provided funds for 48 books, 26 books on tape, 18 audio cassettes, 19 compact discs, 19 videotapes, and $153 for children's craft materials. We furnish the library's excellent California Collection of books, and have bought Le Pac computers that the library would otherwise not have received for years. NEW FACE IN TOWN: It is a pleasure to welcome new Assistant Librarian Arlisa Price, who comes to us from the regional office in Carson. She has six years' experience in the library system, and will be taking over the children's program at the Hermosa library. Arlisa is a senior at CSDH, majoring in accounting. Stop in and say hi, it's worth the trip to see her smile. CAN YOU HOLD A PENCIL? The Friends of the Library needs a new recording secretary. Duties are not particularly onerous; you need only attend the FOL meetings (five meetings per year, on Wednesday evenings at 7:30, lasting about an hour each) and write down what goes on. You must be a current member of FOL! If you would like more information, or just wanna go for it, leave a message for FOL president Charlotte Malone at the library (379-8475). CHECK YOUR LABEL! We are finally getting around to paying attention to who is and who is not a current member of the Friends. If there is no star by your name on the mailing label, your membership has expired, and it's time to renew; use the form below. If you don't renew, we can't send you any more newsletters (postage and printing costs money for which we have other uses), and you'll miss all this good inside info! 1990 MEMBERSHIP - MAIL OR DELIVER TO LIBRARY - A BARGAIN AT $2 PER YEAR NAME STREET ADDRESS CITY, STATE, ZIP I'd like to help at book sales
