HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
MINUTES: Meeting of 30 March 2000
Board Members Present: Al Valdes, Charlotte Malone, Bill Malone, Kathy McCurdy, , Toni Empringham, John Hales, Jean Lombardo.
Also Present: Tim Ferguson, Dick McCurdy.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by President Al Valdes.
Minutes of 20 January 2000 were approved upon a motion by Charlotte Malone, seconded by Bill Malone.
Treasurer's Report: Balance on hand as of 20 March 2000 is $7.261.26. Motion to approve by Tim Ferguson, seconded by Charlotte Malone.
Book Sale on 25 March 2000: Charlotte reported that the number of books for sale was reduced by approximately one-third because of the library's closure. However, the crowds were good and people generally liked the new location on Bard Street. If future sales are conducted there or at another venue external to the County library building, it might be possible to initiate a "members only" pre-sale as a fund-raising event. Charlotte will be in contact with City Manager Steve Burrell about how long the FOL will be able to use the Bard Street space or another city-owned location. Hours for the remaining 2000 book sales will be 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Library Hours & Interim Sales: Charlotte appeared before the City Council to request that a letter be sent to Supervisor Don Knabe asking for increased hours of library operation and retention of space inside the building to conduct interim book sales. On March 15, Mayor Julie Oakes wrote the letter, copies of which were shown to all present.
John Hales suggested holding a reception for FOL members and also inviting the public to celebrate the reopening of the newly renovated library. Al Valdes will talk with CLM Ron Schneider about this suggestion.
Treasurer Bill Malone reported that Ron Schneider will be allowed to spend FOL funds previously allocated for library acquisitions. It was moved by Jean Lombardo and seconded by Charlotte Malone that future FOL allocations be suspended until it is determined how much money will need to be spent for storage of book donations and sale equipment.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m. upon a motion by Bill Malone, seconded by John Hales.
