A total of 96 classes are now re- ceiving service from the library, the report said. “Teachers have now come to regard the school services of the public library as an integral and necessary part of the school program,” it dc- clared. Speaking for the Public School Board, Trustee Don Plax- ton paid tribute to the service. It was a “good investment,” he asserted. Lessening of the ser- vice would be a step backward, said Trustee Trussler of the Separate School Board. The library was now staffed by two professional librarians, said the report, with part-time helpers bringing the total per- sonnel up to the equivalent of five and a half full-time employ- ees. Total adult circulation in 1961 was 80,900. Boys and girls circulation was 65,881, with school service adding 70,773 for a total of 217,554. The figure, said Mrs. Townsend, was more than double the normal stand- ard.

Total operation had cost $2.58 per capita. The dif- ference had been made up prin- cipally by a generous provincial grant, which was larger than the normal on account of the imbalance of local assessment. The library board requested a grant of $2. per capita for 1962. The province would make a grant of 22 per cent, it was said. This year‘s increase was due to a necessary increase in sal- aries, it was said. As some mem- bers of council queried admin- istration costs, library board members claimed that their costs were far below the usual proportion, producing figures to back their claims. of the school program,” it do- clared. Speaking for the Public School Board, Trustee Don Plax- ton paid tribute to the service. It was a “good investmen ,” he asserted. Lessening of the ser- vice would be a step backward, said Trustee Trussler of the Separate School Board. During 1961, starting in Sep- tember. library hours had been greatly lengthened and were now 57 per week, instead of 39. The Gordon M‘aclaren auditor- iuim had been used a lot during the year and had housed such activities as an orchestra. a film club. arthritis clinics. chest x- ray clinics and blood donor clin- ics. “Any reduction on our request for the levy of $2 can only re- sult in a decline of the facili- ties now being provided,” it was asserted.

It calls for expenditures of $47,371 for 1962. as opposed to $42,696 last year‘ While town council cut the budget by some $4.000 last year. the drop was compensated for in part by an increase of $2,300 in the provincial grant. Other sources helped swell in- come, with the board finishing the year within its budget. $6,860 of the current year‘s budget is for the book service to the schools, I service which library board members said could not be matched at the price if the schools handled it themselves.

The March lst meeting-will be their first business seSSion. After having been in business for only three months, Viki Paige, manageress of the RilCh- mond Hill Music Centre in Rich- mond Heights Centre. has built up a clientele which includes people from every walk of life- studen‘ts, mothers, grand-par- enrts and businessmen. Primary reason for the sudden mush- rooming of the business, form- erly known as the Disc Shop> is the promoting which the man- ageress has done since she took over the operation of the cen- tre. Instead of appealing to only one section of the musicâ€" loving world, Vliki’s services are extended to everyone interested in music. Among other services offer- ed by the Music Centre. is a needle inspection. This inspec- tion enables a person to de- termine whether the needle on his record player is worn out and in need of replacement. “In many cases," said Miss Paige, “valuable records have been ruined through the use of a worn-out needle, this inspection service will detect a needle which is liable to cause dam- age to a record. As well as carrying a com- plete stock of records, primar- ily albums, the centre also han- dles a wide selection of musical instruments. Miss Paige, who is a former promotion manager for CKEY of Toronto, says she plans to have a different promotion each month, either in conjunction with the Richmond Heights pro- motions or on her own. For instance, about three weeks ago the Music Centre put on a “twist Party” featuring popular singer Conway Twitty. and the Arthur Murray Dancers. This particular promotion, al- though designed to interest the teen-age set, drew innumerab- le adults among the 2000-p1us crowd, and it is reported that an important Richmond Hill civic official also put in an ap- pearance at the party. For those who find the "twist" a little too strenuous, the Centre plans to present the top ten al- bums of the week each evening, although this idea is still in the planning stage.
