Book for sale

Friends of Cypress Park Library Book Sale
Saturday, August 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Cypress Library Community Room
1150 Cypress Avenue

As part of this next regular used book sale, the Friends group will again empty out the storage cupboards of withdrawn and donated books in order to raise funds for library kids and youth programs, during the summer and throughout the year.

Many hundreds of used, near-new, and occasionally rare and out-of-print books for all interests will be made available — all at very low prices. In addition, the sale offers some books-on tape, movies (DVD and VHS), and audio tapes and CDs, as donated from many sources. All books will again be offered for sale to the public at bargain prices (25 cents to $1) to help raise funds to support summer programs at the library along with paying for several patron and staff equipment needs.

For those who miss this larger Saturday sale of all available books, Friends of the Library volunteers also host afternoon mini-sales most other weekends, also on Saturdays at the branch library.

Contact (323) 224-0039 for general library information.

The Friends of the Library group plans and staffs fundraising and volunteer support activities for the library — including book sales, usually twice each a year. New members, and monetary donations, are always welcome. If interested, visit the book sale on August 18, and ask any book sale volunteer how to become involved.

Hey bird watchers

April 12, 2012 in Get Outside in LA, Mt. Washington, Things to do in LA | No comments

All you bird fanciers bring your binoculars and join local bird enthusiast Julian Donahue as she leads a tour of local feathered friends.

Join veteran Mt. Washington birder Julian Donahue on a free beginner’s bird walk for Alliance members on Saturday morning, April 14, 9-11 a.m. Emphasis will be on learning how to recognize and identify our local birds. Space is limited, sign up now! April is the most exciting month for local birds, as winter visitors prepare to depart, spring migrants pass through on their way north, and summer visitors begin arriving to set up housekeeping. We will look for lingering winter visitors like the dapper White-crowned Sparrow, colorful warblers on their way north, and watch for the first arrivals of Black-headed Grosbeaks and Hooded Orioles. And we won’t ignore our permanent residents, including the striking but secretive Spotted Towhee, the animated Bewick’s Wren, and the rare Wrentit, a chaparral specialist only recently rediscovered on Mt. Washington after an absence of 12 years. No experience necessary, but binoculars are mandatory. Ages 6 to senility. Wear hat and comfortable walking/hiking footwear; bring water if that’s your custom. No dogs. Easy to moderate walking at a slow birder’s pace; elevation gain/loss about 250 feet, on paved road and dirt trails. Rain cancels.

Sign up by e-mailing Julian at Julian.Donahue@gmail.com.
