Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wismans:
Thank you so much for your generous donation to the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library.
Please be assured that your donation will go to directly benefit the library. Through funds we acquire (principally through quarterly book sales but also through individual donations) we are able to provide additional new books, newspaper and periodical subscriptions, audio cassettes, videos, and C.D.'s, and other items which our librarian, Mr. Ron Schneider, may suggest. We also supply special support for children's books and programs.
I am enclosing a recently printed brochure giving a history of the library and of our Friends of the Library organization.
Our board meets at 7:30 PM on the Wednesday night following each book sale. The next sale is Saturday, September 7, starting at 9:30 AM. I hope that you may be able to attend both gatherings, so that we can become acquainted.
Sincerely,
John T. Hales
