HERMOSA BEACH
FRIENDS of the LIBRARY
550 Pier Avenue
Hermosa Beach, California
May, 1966
Dear Friends,
The date to remember is ... May 21st (that's this month!) -
The place to go is ... the home of Mr. and Mrs. Myron Gazin, 615 Twenty-fourth Place, Hermosa Beach -
The time to be there is ... from five to eight p.m. - and the occasion is ... yes, you've guessed, it is true, that's right! The annual, fabulous, fun and fund raiser, the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library's Own Incomparable Zingy, Swingy, Springtime Flingeroo,
"Libations for the Library - 1966"
Your donation of $2.50 each has a lot going for it - including three cups of the cheer of your choice, yummy hors d'oeuvres, and a chance on the Special Mystery Doorprize. Fifty cent script will buy extra sips for the thirsty ... and one way and another, it promises to be a most joyful occasion.
Tickets are available at the Library, from members of the Board, and if all else fails - at the door.
MISCELLANEOUS: Two board meetings have been held in this quarter, one on April 27th in the home of the president, and the other in the home of our art chairman, Ruth Treadgold. Much of our business on both occasions was directly concerned with arrangements for the party, but other announcements of general interest were:
* a progress report on the Junior Writing and Illustrating Contest revealed that the judges were Mrs. Arabelle Stubbe and Mr. John Jancar. Winners in the categories are Robin Elton, Roy Eads, Gregory Ginn, and Linda Carey. The work will be displayed in the Library for the rest of the month.
* an art walk on LaCienega Blvd. has been proposed for some Monday night in the future, with the Friends once again chartering a bus.
* Pat Gazin announced that 16 mm films are available without charge from the L.A. County Library in Torrance.
* our librarian, Carlotta Hoye, shared with us these statistics of library services for March: total circulation - 9017, of which adult fiction led with 2948, closely followed by adult non-fiction - 2843. The Hermosa Beach readers are inquisitive too, Miss Hoye reports, for the librarians answered 1119 reference questions in that month alone and an additional 256 questions involving the reference periodicals!
Our latest membership number is 163, and we are still welcoming new Friends to the list and renewing old acquaintances at $1.00 each.
I will look forward to seeing you on the 21st!
Mrs. Herbert C. Corben
President
