December 15, 1990 Charlotte Malone, President Friends of the Library Hermosa Beach Library 550 Pier Ave Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Dear Charlotte and Friends, On behalf of the staff at Hermosa Beach Library, I would like to thank the Friends of the Library for your generous donation of the children's mural. The mural not only has beautified our library, but has made children and adults alike appreciate the splendor that Children's books have to offer. Children stare at the characters in the mural and recall a remembered story or are curious to learn about an unfamiliar one. Adults reminiscence about a favorite character or story that touched their heart. In closing, I am reminded of a quote that states: "Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind," and this mural is the legacy you leave to future generations. Sincerely, Arlisa Price Children's Library Assistant cc: Ronald Schneider, Community Library Manager
