Dear Member of the
HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY:
We are happy to report to you that we have over two hundred members in our organization at this time, which is something rather unusual for having been organized for so few months. We have you and the others like you to thank for your effort.
Mr. John Henderson, Los Angeles County Library Chief, met with your City Council last week in a work session to discuss what would be necessary to do in order to obtain a proper library building for Hermosa. It would be well for you to keep informed in this matter and to talk or write to your Councilmen about it.
On MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1960 at 10:30 AM, the first annual meeting of the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library will be held at the Library. This meeting is to announce the results of the balloting for new officers for the coming year as well as to adopt by-laws for the new organization. Please attend if possible.
Because many of you are unable to attend a daytime meeting, we are printing a ballot below to be used by those holding adult memberships. Please fill it out, cut it off, and either mail it or deposit it in the ballot box at the Library. These are the official ballots -- none will be issued at the Library, nor will any other type be counted. They are to be in the ballot box prior to the February 1 meeting. Below each of the offices is a blank space which you may use for a write-in vote if you prefer one other than those selected by the nominating committee. It is necessary that you obtain that person's willingness to serve before submitting the name. Final tally will be made preceding the February 1 meeting and the results will be announced at the meeting. Again, we heartily urge you to attend if you can. Coffee will be served directly following.
