Hales named president of library friends
John Hales, designer of the official Hermosa Beach city seal and former planning commissioner, was elected president of the Friends of the Hermosa Beach Library this week. He designed and donated the giant seal to the city in 1963. He has been a resident of the city for more than 35 years and a sustaining member of the group since its founding in 1959.
Elected vice president is Dr. Al Valdes; treasurer, Clyde W. Malone; recording secretary, Nikki Humbarger; and corresponding secretary, Bertha Dorsey. The group has been serving Hermosa Beach library users since 1960. The retiring president is Charlotte Malone.
At the annual election meeting, more than $1,500 was authorized for gift purchases for the library in 1991.
Last December the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library presented a large storybook mural as a Christmas gift for the young library users of this city.
The public is invited to join the Friends of the Library. The membership fee is $2, payable at the library or by check to Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library, 550 Pier Ave., Hermosa Beach.
