September 1971 HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
550 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, Calif. September
Dear FRIEND:
MARK your calendar now! Fall board meeting is 10 a.m. Wednesday October 20. ALL MEMBERS are welcome. (at the library)
The next FREE FILM will be KONTIKI, Thursday, Oct. 14, at city hall. This program which has been running monthly since March nurtured by Mmes Robert Astone and Tom Tanner has proved highly successful. The public appreciates it!
We're rich. Treasurer Lorraine Hales reports our bank balance is $575.52. Of this $304 is sheer profit from the Libations event in June.
Our biggest book acquisition to date is THE AMERICAN INDIANS, two-volumes, $105. purchased by the Gazin collection. This is Indian history as compiled by the Indians themselves. The edition is numbered and limited. For history buffs especially it will be a truly valuable addition to our lore of the Southwest. And because the edition is sold out, our purchase will prove a prized rare book. It should be in the library when you read this, so be sure to see it. Selection was by Mrs. Hales, who is chairman for the collection.
CALIFORNIAN chairman Mrs. Gordon Evans reports she has ordered CALIFORNIA'S CHANGING LANDSCAPE plus other volumes on California travel and nature.
FOR YOUR RESEARCH, nostalgia or sheer pleasure a microfilm reader is available. (A gift through Friends, of course.) It is easy to operate. Microfilm collections include information of foreign and domestic newspapers and magazines and government documents and subjects range from astronautics to 16th century government, packaging, paleontology and pets! ASK THE LIBRARIANS ABOUT THIS SERVICE.
Note: we have a copying machine again. This is NOT the property of FofL. It is a concession arrangement on contract with the L.A. County library system. Duplicating costs 15 cents.
CHILDREN'S HOUR: Now there are two. Preschoolers story hour starts Sept 30 and will meet each Thursday at 2 p.m. There's another at 3:45 each Wednesday for primary students. Tell you little friends.
LIBRARY SERVICE FOR SHUT INS is underway, under the aegis of vice-president Mrs. Laird Stabler. Volunteers are Mrs. William B. Wofford, M. Richter and Miss Deedee Foley. Duties are light, pleasant, enriching. You may join hands by filling in form below, mailing to Mrs. Stabler, c/o the Friends, address above, or phoning Eloise at FR92535
CIRCULATION dropped in August (compared to August, 1970) Mrs. Erlandsen attributes the loss to vacations and shorter library hours. Moral: the more books we use, the more we get..
THINK ABOUT: a Friends of the Library scholarship; a special cookbook collection; an art rental.... all possible future projects for FRIENDS. COME TALK IT OVER OCTOBER 20 !
Patricia A. Gazin, president
YES! I want to help bring library service to shut-ins!
