EVELYN HARRIS BELASCO -- All proceeds from this winter sale are traditionally added to the Evelyn Harris Belasco Perpetual Memorial Fund, established in 1980 by the family and friends of this beloved Hermosa Beach teacher. The "Evie" fund has provided the children's section with all of the Summer Reading Programs, books, magazines, DVD's, a mural and other materials for 25 years and is invested to insure that the interest from the fund will provide this service to the children's section forever.

EXTENDED HOURS - Due to popular request (it hasn't quite reached the supplication or demand stage yet) the repository at 1309 Bard will be open on Mondays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon for the sale of books. This is in addition to the regularly scheduled sales.

A HISTORY OF LORETO - Loreto, Mexico is the "Sister City" to Hermosa Beach. This book has been donated by Hermosa Beach Mayor J.R. Reviczky and will be added to our "California Collection". Our earliest permanent collection, the "California Collection" encompasses books relating to California in history, art, poetry, commerce and other significant genres. It has been overseen since its inception by Hermosa author Betty Evans who scouts the book lists for items for us to purchase and include. You might wish to view this extensive collection on your next visit to the Hermosa Library.

Next Member Meeting on Wednesday, December 7th at 3:00 PM at the Bard Street location behind the Fire Station and Star's Antiques.. All members welcome. 2006 memberships are now available by mail (go to form) or at the booksale.
