Fashion show and National Library Week update

April 16, 1962 2 Dear Member of the HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY: Hello! Plenty has been happening with the Friends of the Library this past month. I am going to tell you all about it so you can participate fully in the Fashion Show. But first a quick paragraph about National Library Week, which has drawn to a close. I do hope that you visited the library; if not, hurry down to see the beautiful display, created by Mrs. Olney, of the new books on art, complete with "Proclamation of Library Observance Week" from our City Council. We received a gift, too! The Beach Fixes[?], Auxiliary to Children's Home Adoption Society, donated ADOPTION AND AFTER by Louise Raymond, to us. Much information and worthwhile reading, we're so happy to have this book to lend. Although the membership drive is over, in one sense, we want all of you to continue getting new members and encouraging the old ones to stop in at the library to renew. Membership now stands at 160. The book sale on Saturday in front of City Hall added $43.19 to our treasury. Thanks to everyone for the generous contribution of books and time. My working committee that day consisted of Bea Bond, Irene Mason, Sako Miho, Kay Pontious, Lorraine Hales, and our newest member, Marge Hathorn, who made the six posters advertising the book sale. "Fashion in Titles", planned and presented for your pleasure by Chairmen Norma Bordelon and Helen Tracy, will be May 7[?] at the Elks Club in Redondo Beach. Social hour will be 11:30 to 12:30 - luncheon and fashions at 12:30. Fashions are being shown from the Bette Shop in Hermosa Beach, under the direction of Muriel Rockwood, owner. Models will be Helen Henderson, Ann Isaac, Janet McMahon, Marilyn Pollock, and Lynn Rockwood. Lovely ladies, all of them! Table decorations by Sako Miho and committee and gifts by Marge Ashen and Doreen Millard. Local merchants have donated 30 gifts to be given away that day. So if you haven't already purchased your ticket, call Helen Tracy at FR 2-6044 for your reservation at $3.50, money must be in by Friday, April 20. You know a good time is always so much more meaningful when it serves a good purpose. So let's make "Fashion in Titles" a smashing success. You know our good purpose in planning this event is to buy a lighted globe for the library, and with any additional money some especially fine books. Mrs. Olney is tuned in and knows what we need. In discussing this with her, I find she is particularly enthusiastic about a set of analytical reference books and/or book review digests. See you at the Show! Response to our request for blue chip stamps was terrific! One dear lady gave us 7 books. We received 10 1/4 altogether. I exchanged 8 1/4 books for a 30-cup coffee pot for the library. Then, at our last board meeting, we decided to get two of the large lace tablecloths to use at teas and meetings. We need only 1 1/2 more books. By the time June rolls around and we are preparing for dedication we'll be very happy to have these nice things to use. Many thanks to you thoughtful ladies for sharing your stamps with the FRIENDS. Sincerely, HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY Mary Edgerton, President
