HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
550 PIER AVENUE HERMOSA BEACH, CALIF.
September, 1967
It's September already... time to pull all the threads together again.
Therefore, all FRIENDS are urged to attend a business meeting at 11 a.m. Wednesday Sept. 20, at the library.
Committee chairman, please bring outstanding bills, so we can bring the bookkeeping up to date.
All members will be pleased to know that our perennial summer service to the community, the STORY HOUR, drew the usual crop of wide-eyed tots weekly during July and August. The audiences averaged 20 children, with a sprinkling of ma-mas, who enjoyed the readings by: Carolyn Williams, Willa Rogers, Joyce Loebner, Marilyn Pollock and Carol Funk.
The program concluded Monday, Aug. 28, with the charming French film THE RED BALLOON, screened by Margery Hummiston (of the county staff). This was followed by a punch-and-cookies party sponsored by FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY, hosted by yours truly.
