SON ALL HOURS 'owerd THE IMPORTANCE OF A PUBLIC LIBRARY By Moira Stephenson, Grade 7, Our Lady of Fatima School On December 23, 1852, a group of men sat in the old brick school house in the tiny village of Rich- mond Hill and planned the for- mation of a Library, which they hoped would be an important ad- dition in the cultural and intell- ectual growth of the Village. Lit- tle did they realize at that time that they were laying the basis of one of the most important services we enjoy today, our Public Library. It was to be call- ed an Association Library and the service was to be made av- ailable to the residents of Rich- mond Hill and vicinity for pay~ ment of a fee which gave them the privilege of being a share- holder. In the minutes of the very first meeting of this Library Board it stated that the Library Room was to be open from 6.30 to 9 pm. every Tuesday and that a Librarian be appointed at the salary of 3 pounds per annum. Each shareholder was to be al lowed to borrow one volume for each share held in the Associa- tion but only upon application to the Librarian. How proud these fine men would feel if they could view the excellent library that we now enjoy in our town, for surely they could lay claim to forming the nucleus of library service in To demonstrate the high standard of oratory present- ed by students at last Sunday’s Separate School’s Annual Oratorical Contest, the following address is being repro- duced in full. This address is particularly interesting and highly topical because we, as a community, are celebrating Public Library Week. It won a cup for Moira Stephenson who won first place for Grade 7. (We would like to reproduce all the addresses but space forbids. This one is typical of the excellence of all and is selected on account of its particular application. R. D.
