Mr. and Mrs. A1 Morrison, former well known residents of Jefferson, visited Mr. and Mrs. Stan Leno on Saturday. Kindergarten children from Jefferson, who attend Ross Doan Public School. contribut- ed too and attended. with their mothers, the fun fair held at the school last Saturday. This turned out to be one of the most successful bazaarsIhave visited and the children en- ‘joyed it immensely. The circulation of public lib- rary books in Richmond Hill schools was begun in the fall of 1959. Because of the difficulties of distance and transportation, most of the children in the town were not using library‘ facilities and it was agreed by both library and schools that supplying books was not enough. Someone must supply the stimulus to read them. With this end in view, the school ‘board allowed the boys’ and Igirls’ librarian to spend 15 min- ‘utes each month with each class. During this time, the li- brarian talks about books and reading, or tells a story to the primary classes. I . n School - lerary Book Programme“ Doubles In Four Years Operation During 1959, three boxes of twenty books were distributed to all classes from grade three to eight. These boxes have been changed monthly at the time of the librarian‘s visit. During 1960, the number of books in each box was increased to thirty, and all grade two Craig Peterkin, left, 17-year-old Richmond Hill High School student will spend a week at the United Nations, New York, this coming July as an observer of the world organization. Craig’s visit will be sponsored by the Independent Order of Oddfellows Pilgrimage For Youth program who every year selects a student for the trip. Selection of students is based on scholastic standing - Craig‘s average is 88 per cent. At school Craig majors in Latin, German and mathematics. On Craig’s left is Jim Juhl, District Deputy Grand Master of the Independent Order of Oddfellows. Richmond Hill Student To Visit U.N. classes were added to the pro- gramme. The books supplied are fic- tion and are for recreational reading purposes. The schools agreed to concentrate in build- ing collections of curriculum- centered materials for refer- ence use. Now in its fourth year this programme has nearly doubled in all its aspects. An Integrated library pro- gramme between the public li-‘ brary and the schools, it is felt,‘ can benefit both participants. The teaching staff and the pu- pils are more aware of the lib- rary and its facilities, while both are encouraged to use its resources. The librarian’s con- tact with the school has given her a greater insight‘into the school programme â€"- a great aid in book selection and eval-‘ uation. Comments from both parents and teachers have in- dicated that the increased sup- plementary reading has enrich- ed the school’s reading prog- ramme.
