HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
550 Pier Avenue
Hermosa Beach, California
MARCH - APRIL, 1967
TWO BIG EVENTS are slated for April.
First: April 8, Saturday, at 11 a.m. - dedication of the F.W. Flake Memorial Collection (records).
W.H.P. Drummond, Vice President of Douglas Aircraft Co. and a long time friend of the late Mr. Flake will present the collection to FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY on behalf of the many donors at Douglas whose gifts made the collection possible. It is a remarkable tribute to a remarkable man.
The Flake Collection is another first for Hermosa Beach. The gift and the manner of giving is unprecedented in the Los Angeles County Library system.
This event merits your attendance. To show appreciation to the Flake family and the Douglas donors, it is most important to have a large turnout. DO COME.
APRIL 16, Sunday, at 4 p.m. at the library - another FIRST.
Harriet Covey, young adult specialist for the Los Angeles County Library, will be guest speaker at our first of a series of Sunday afternoon BOOK TALKS.
Do you think your children are not reading enough? Or too much? Or the wrong things? Or beneath their ability? You'd be surprised what ages the "young adult" classification spans. Come, hear all about it! Mrs. Covey has all the answers!
Save May 27 for Libations for the Library!
ALL FRIENDS regret to see Carlotta Hoye retire from the library, but draw consolation from the fact she plans to remain in our city, and we can take advantage of her new leisure by assigning her some fresh task... for the library, of course.
More than 30 FRIENDS, past and present officers, feted Carlotta at a farewell luncheon on March 1 presenting a retirement gift, a transistor radio, on behalf of the entire membership.
Judith Trolander, Miss Hoye's replacement, arrived in Hermosa on Tuesday, March 28. She formerly served at Lakewood and La Mirada Libraries. Miss Trolander has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Minnesota (History) and a M.A. in Library Science from Western Reserve University. Welcome to Hermosa Beach!
By now you have seen the new glass display case which, after months of suspenseful waiting, was delivered in January. There's a mystery here, a challenge to any avid whodunit fan. Ask the librarians to tell you all about it. Since its arrival the case has already hosted collections owned by Donald Hales, the Gordon Evans family's Roman artifacts and a Sierra Club display. If you have a collection you would like to share with fellow readers, talk it over with Kathryn Dittmar.
