Welcome reception for Lucille Chitwood

HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY Dear Friend, A Coffee Reception to welcome our new librarian, Mrs. Lucille Chitwood, will be Wednesday, October 16 at the library from 11 to 12 noon. Come and meet our personable new librarian.... and see other Friends, too. See you there. Mrs. Chitwood comes to us with ten years experience in the Los Angeles County Library system. Most recently she served in North Torrance before starting with our library this past July 15th. She attended El Camino College, earned a B.A. at UCLA and a masters at USC. She is a 21 year resident of Manhattan Beach and is a native of California. The Center Theatre Group of the Ahmanson Theatre has made a beautiful offer of reduced rates for fund raising theatre parties. We couldn't do it, but for a party of 1000 they practically give you the theatre. The Friends of the Librard Board thought a spring party would be very good and choose "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead", March 11 through April 19, 1969. "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead", Best Play of 1968, is a triple award winner - Drama Critics Award, Antoniette Perry Award and Variety Poll Award. At our November 20 Board Meeting we will pick a date to attend this play. If you wish to go, please call one of the board members or come to the meetings. Tickets are even less Monday through Thursday evenings. We are now a member of the Friends of California Libraries. Through this organization we will be able to share in the thoughts and ideas of many California Friends. The Summer Reading Program had a successful summer. It ended with a bang-up cookie and punch party. Irene Mason sent some teddy bear cookies for each child to take as a little reminder of all those good stories. Joan Shaw, Children's Chairman, wishes to thank all the Story Ladies for giving so generously of their time. Seven members from the Friends of the Library attended the luncheon meeting of the recently formed Hermosa Beach Coordinating Council Steering Committee. We hope to see a Coordinating Council grow in Hermosa Beach. Our next Board Meeting is Wednesday, November 20, 11 A.M., at the library. The meeting is open to all members. Why don't you join us?
