HERMOSA BEACH NEWSLETTER
& BOOK ATTAIRE EXTRAORDINAIRE,
FRIENDS of
the LIBRARY
the JUNE BOOK SALE, will be held on SATURDAY, JUNE 2,
from 9:30 AM to 1 PM, in front of the library at 550 Pier
Head Librarian RON has been weeding the
library shelves, and there willbe lots of good hardbound
fiction, biography, other nonfiction, and loads of young people's paperbacks (10 cents each!) for sale. Tell your
friends and coworkers about the sale; they'll thank you for it. We still need more
books, as always. Check your shelves for those really dusty ones; now is a good time
to give someone else a chance at them, and gain some precious bookshelf space.
Paperbacks are especially welcome, and they sell very well. Please, though, don't bring magazines! Somehow this message always seems to get lost in the shuffle,
leaving the book sorters up to their teeth in old National Geographics and TIME
magazines from last November. Iry something new: Volunteer to work at the sale!
It's a fun way to meet people and get some sun and exercise. . If you'd like to help
no booksellers, please - ethics!), leave your name at the library (379-8475).

THE INTERIM BOOK SALE (the four bookshelves just inside the library door, full
of hardbound books for sale at fifty cents each) continues to do very well, and has
brought in almost $450 so far this year. It's nice to see that people are so honest!
FALL AND RISE OF THE TITANIUM LADY: FOL founder PAT GAZIN fell and
broke her hip on March 14th. It was a very severe break, and they ended up
having to give her a titanium replacement. Pat is still flat on her back, but hopes to
be up in time to handle the SPECIALS CORNER at the book sale, where antique and rare books can be found.She says everyone has been most kind, and she has about
a thousand books to keep her occupied while she's immobile, but the FOL book sale
might very well be enough to get her back on her feet a little early. We hope so!
GOOD STUFF FROM THE FRIENDS: Head Librarian RON has recently made some
great acquisitions with funds from the Friends. NON-FICTION: The Cuckoo's Egg
(Clifford Stoll); Parting With Illusions (Vladmir Pozner); Raw Recruits (Alexander
