The meeting was called to order at 7:30 by President John Hales. The minutes of the Board meeting held June 12, 1991 were approved.
TREASURER'S REPORT: Treasurer Bill Malone reported September book sale proceeds of $1,883.65 and interim sales for the quarter of $541.55. Fourteen tables for the book sale were purchased for $494.19.
OLD BUSINESS: The previously authorized $150 for Friends of the Library (FOL) envelopes will not be utilized because an additional supply was located. The Bylaws Committee will report at the December meeting.
NEW BUSINESS: Six additional tables will be required for future book sales. The amount of $225 was authorized. It was suggested that all tables be identified as property of the Hermosa Beach FOL. The tables are 2-1/2 by 6 feet and were purchased at Costco. Jack Belasco suggested that a handtruck be purchased to assist with set up and take down at book sales. Jack also proposed that childrens books in other languages be purchased to tie in with local school language programs. It was agreed that future Board meetings should instead be titled Membership meetings to encourage greater attendance. A motion carried to authorize $150 for 2500 bookmarks advertising book sale dates for the coming year. A motion carried to authorize $25 for the Annual FOL Exchange Meeting sponsored by County Library staff to be held October 19 at the Culver City Library.
After discussion, it was decided not to support the purchase and resale of County Library calendars as a fundraising means, with the consensus that we confine efforts to our successful book sales. Several requests from organizations desiring surplus books after completion of the book sale have been received. Agreement was reached to allow the President to decide and act on behalf of the Board in responding to these requests.
