Why? Some people in Vaughan feel the library facilities in their township are inadequate to serve the 17,000 population. Richmond Hill Librarian Fred Israel who provides the service for the "outsiders" said he is happy to do so but costs have risen in the past few years and another look must be given to the rather unique situation. He said any attempt to form1 a York county library region‘ wns out of the question at the moment. “The northern mun- icipalities are against it. And by legislation, it would have to be formed of the three counties of York, Peel and Ontario and that would be far too big." Vaughan adults pay $2 a year, high school students 50 cents and for the majority of the total, about 700 elementary school students, the service is free. “It is costing the Hill tax- payer just over a mill library levy this year." On an average $5,000 to $5,- 500 assessment, this would mean between $5 and $5.50 a family to use the library, $3 more than a Vaughan resident who is taking advantage of identical service is paying. Mr. Israel said a union area was quite feasible and could be organized along the lines of the area school board but with spe- cific areas. In other words, the entire municipalities and town. “It is readily necognizable in- dividual units are far too ex- pensive to run and it's econom- ically impossible to continue to do so. ~ Vaughan School Inspector D. R. MacDonald said the meeting had been called by the board after receiving comments from Richmond Hill. “This will be purely a preli- minary look into the over-all picture, a joint discussion bet- ween existing library boards in Maple, Thornhill and Klein- burg with the board and coun- cil," he said.

No date has been set for the meeting. There are two publically sup- ported librarljes in Va_u_g}‘1an.

Allan Ripley VETERINARY SURGEON He has asked Vaughan School Board and Council for a September meeting to dig into the problem and see what solution could he arrived at, either by remuneration to Rich- mond Hill or the possible formation of a union school library region with one central library to serve the townships for Vaughan and Markham and the Town of Richmond Hill. “If we formed a unlon, ideal solution at first would be bookmobiles travelling to the various areas before we ever thought of any major construction. They would get the books to the people who wanted them and from that in future, library sites could be de- cided,” the librarian said.

Richmond Hill Veterinary THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursdgy, August M Its librarian and only staff member Mrs. H. S. Smythe said there are now about 3,700 books in circulation. “There is no registration fee for the Maple taxpayers who are paying for the library and we charge $1 per adult or $2 per family registration for any- one outside the area being tax- ed for the library service," she said. the Toronto library system and opened for business in the community hall is now occupy- ing a store building in central Maple. Six Hours a Week Maple's library is in use six hours a week. This is one of the major complaints. Approximately 165 use the‘ library in an average week. “We have no facilities for read- ing or research. If a youngster wants to study for a school pro- ject, I have to wedge him in to a tiny space near my desk," Mrs. Smythe said. “We are very cramped. I would like to give more atten~ tion to the readers, particularly in the children's section. Our biggest hope is to get more space.” The Maple library is adminis- tered by a board including its chairman, Frank Robson, a cler- gyman Rev. Ramsay Armitage. secretary Mrs. William Davis, treasurer Mrs. George Jones: Whitty and public relations Mrs. Audrey Hofland. They meet once a month to hear re-‘ ports from the librarian and discuss how the library is oper- ating. Mrs. Smythe controls the book buying. Friends and neighbors gath- ered at the home of Mrs. C. Milsted on Wednesday night for a farewell gathering for Mrs. C. R. Wilcox. During the evening an address was read by Mrs. J. A. Pope and Mrs. Wilcox was presented with a lovely travelling bag, a steam iron, and a gift of money. The good wishes of the community follow Mrs. Wilcox, Richard and Dinah to their new home in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Farewell Party Most ofithe tax money is eaten up by rent, salary and book buying. she said. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Mc- Quarrie of Kitchener visited Miss Arvilla Forrester Satur- day evening. “I personally feel there is en- ough interest here to get a big- ger library,” she said. Thornhill’s library has a real history. Mr. H. Sandiford left Gorm- ley Garage after being em- ployed there for eight years to take up a new job at Aghb court.

It goes back to 1343 when Trinity Anglican Church rector Rev. George Mortimer backed a move- ment to establish a library in Thomhill. Membership was five shillings a year but either the villagers were not sufficiently book- minded or the books avail- able were a little too hard- CORRESPONDENT: MRS. CHAS. MILSTED Telephone 886-5201 GORMLEY NEWS T‘i‘aéPINDER BROS. LTD. In 1935, the library moved to Thornhill Public School's board room with the trustees footing the overhead bills and volunteers manning the service. In 1945, according to a clipping there were more than 1,700 ex- cellent volumes on hand and in 1944, 2,500 books were in circul- ation with 1,300 taken out by children. Several such attempts to start a library met the same fate and it wasn't until 1920 that the most recent re-organiz- atlon took place. It became a public library in 1950-1951 and has been located in an old but adequate house on Colbourne St. for the past three years. Librarian Jane McLaren is in charge and is aided by volunte- ers. The library ls financed by a grant of $925 from the Onta- rio Department of Education, a $2,500 levy from residents of the police village and fees and fines as well as contributions from service clubs. Hours are about 12 a week, two evenings, two mornings and one afternoon. Last year, Miss McLaren add- ed 450 new books to bring the shelf total to about 6,000 vol- umes of fiction, non-fiction and children‘s books. “Wider library areas would be better to pro- cess," Miss McLaren com- mented on the proposed Vaughan meeting. “For example, one central area could buy five copies of the same book probably at a saving. One area would cut down on purchasing and proces- sing. too. but such a system must be of advantage to the library and to the residents or it’s of no value." and Mrs. M.
