1987

The Library Goes On Line with LePac

Members elected Charlotte Malone president on January 28. Lorraine Hales died in December 1986, and her family asked for memorial gifts to the California Collection. Librarian Louise Mazerov left on March 20, and Ron Schneider succeeded her. Rain postponed the March 21 sale. In April the board agreed to pay half the cost of the LePac catalog system in partnership with the city. On June 17, after the Words and Music sale raised $1,713.05, it authorized up to $3,500 for LePac pending city reimbursement and $500 for compact discs. The August 22 Libations, a Mexican fiesta at the Ryan home, honored the city's eightieth birthday. In September the board approved a second LePac unit. In December the Friends thanked Mayor Simpson and the council for the city's match, and the Belasco match added $1,200 to the memorial fund.
