1962

Titles in Fashions and the Library Dedication

Members elected Mary Edgerton president on January 31, 1962. They set aside $100 toward a globe. A bylaw change added the immediate past president and the librarian to the board. A luncheon at the Beach Bowl on February 27 opened the membership drive. By March 22, the Friends counted 147 members. The April 14 used-book sale earned $43.21. The May 7 Titles in Fashions benefit took in $587 and netted $264.07. In May, the board approved a globe and literary reference books as gifts for the new library. The library opened with a dedication and open house on August 10 at 2 p.m. The Friends served refreshments. Afterward, the board decided there was too little time before school for a story hour. The board approved the sale of the old patio furniture. In December, the board accepted the maker's explanation of the globe's 1959 printing.
