Gifts and donations

The Friends bought the Harvard Classics for the library before 1961, and in June 1964 the board approved a new World Book set. In 1974 Pat and Myron Gazin gave a daylight movie screen, and on May 17, 1980 George Schmeltzer gave sixty Leonard Wibberley books. Memorial gifts included a children's book in memory of J. T. Jones in April 1964 and 1988 contributions to the Carlotta Hoye Memorial Fund. In July 1988 the Friends thanked Weintraub Entertainment Productions for two $1,500 payments during the filming of My Stepmother Is an Alien. In 1990 Gregory E. Breen gave $500 with an expected match from American Medical International.
