How to cut your car’s operating costs Mrs. J. R. Leslie. chairman of the Kleinburg Board. said “The current trend of libraries is al- together towards integration of service and work.. One sugges- tion would be to have a working plan with other boards whereby books would be purchased, cata- logued and sent out from the largest single library. where the combined finances of all the co- operating libraries would employ. full time, a main stafi__t_o keep up vice." Bookmobiles Way and means of getting bet- ter library service to the resi- dents of the district were discus- sed at a special meeting last week in the Kleinburg Public Library. Kleinburg board members were hosts to neighbouring board mem- bers at the meeting and examin- ed the possibility of pooling their resources in buying and distribu- ting books; Ideally, bookmobiles might be maintained to increase that ser- vice, but she pointed out that they cost about $5,000 each to buy and several thousand dollars a year to run. 7 _ Angus Mowat. head of the pub- lic libraries branch of the De- partment of Education, has said, ‘County libraries â€" that is, pool- ed resources, etc., from a central point are the most important sin- gle development that has taken place in the library service in the prgyince in the last 50 years." . There are now about a dozen in successful operation in Ontario. He adds that “The individual li- brary retains its individuality and remains under its present man- agement as established by the Public Libraries Act." Better Library Service For Rural Districts Discussed Board delegates from all lib- raries agreed that one of the big problems was a scattered and sparse population, and Kleinburg members were amazed to find, in some cases, their circulation of books was, percentage wise, greater than that of some of the surrounding libraries. Delegates Other delegates at the meet- ing included Mrs. R. W. Johnston and Miss K. L. Ball, from Rich- mond Hill; Mrs. Ralph Edwards, Miss A. McLaren, Mrs. D. Car- ruthers and Mr. R. H. Neil of Thornhill and Mrs. A. Howl and Mr. A. C. Bell of Woodbgjidgg.

Miller, former lib- rarian said, “The biggest obstacle we have escountered in trying to giVe library service to our small district is that the books should be read by a sufficient number of persons to warrant their pur- chase price. The circulation has never been large enough, except in children’s books. to “pay the way" of each book.’ board also include Mrs. Walter Griffith. Mrs. R. W. Cain, Mrs. T. E. Matthews, Mrs. J. F.

Val-ions Systems Various systems used in each library were outlined and one of the difficulties in the Kleinburg area, for example. is keeping the library open enough hourS, while mostly dependent on volunteer help, mainly busy housewives with small children. Mr. R. H. Neil pointed out that a central county library while having many advantages, would still have the problem of compe- tition from city libraries. The Small District She added that recently she had removed from the shelves more than 200 books which had not circulated for two years or more â€"â€"- just to make room for incoming stock. “The tragedy of the affair is that most of the books â€" all good and highly rea- ‘dable had not circulated more than five or six times during their whole time of perhaps five years on the shelves." Mrs. M. Leslie said it was this point that had led her and Mrs. Miller to consult Miss Elizabeth Hardy of the Etobicoke Library â€" and they found that co‘oper- ating with other library boards might be the most efficient meth- od of operation. Mrs. Howl, Woodbridge librar- ian, said adult fiction, for exam- ple might be purchased jointly and shared, to make the cost worthwhile. The meeting decided to further discuss the problems with their own boards and aim for better li- brary service for more people. Home and School Association The regular meeting of the Thornlea Home and School As- sociation was held in the school on Wednesday evening, March 6, with Mr. W. C. Pocklington pre- siding. Guest speaker for the evening was Mr. Roy Bick, Chairman of the finance committee of the school board. Mr. Bick outlined the budget for the school area for 1957 and compared it with the budget for the previous year. At the conclusion of the address, the meeting was thrown open for questions and discussion. The members of the teaching staff outlined some ways by which the home can help the school in the education of the child, and the need for co-operation between home and school. The prize for attendance was won by Mr. Learn’s room. Fol- lowing the meeting refreshments were served by the cbmmittee. A good many parents attended Open House at the school which was held from 11 to 12 am. and from 7 to 8.30 pm. on March 6. The students' work books were on display during' the eVening.
