Margaret Stoltz 4357676 By MARGARET STOLTZ The Alliston Public Library is bulging at the seams and board members are at loss to know what can be done done to provxde more space not only for books but to enable the Library to reach out to even greater service to citizens of Alliston and the six surrounding townships We have no solutions only problems concluded Ken Gradwell chairman of the board who conducted the symo posium at the recent Womens Institute meeting Librarian Jean Owens brought members uptodate on services available now in what she referred to as an age mass leisure and suggested that with more time at our disposal it depends on the in dividual as to how itwili be best used Things are changing fast and this also applies to libraries she said Alliston is meeting the challenge and can fill most of the standards recently set up Muftilanguage books are available with block of 50 in Dutch German Hungarian and French also in large print books The outreach program is an asset and includes film library through the National Film Board as well as mm en tertainment films Alliston Library is one of 67 members of the Georgian Bay Regional Library and makes use of the books on loan program from the Simcoe County Library Mrs Owens recalls that in 1968 when she was appointed Librarian there were 50 books on loan and this has grown to between 1100 and 1200 The reference section is also growing as is the periodical file and there is greater demand for paper backs Besides the childrens section young adult section has been set up and much appreciated by readers are the memorial books donated by the Womens In stitute in memory of deceased members Some wild life prints are available as is the use of photo copier for nominal fee Readers still appreciate the older books and these are kept as long as space is available Through grant from the ministry of culture and recreation Louise Gallaugher compiled works as local history project which are now available We cant grow much more but we have to keep abreast and make additions Mrs Owens said in closing Peter Cameron council representative on the board ex plained how the Library Board functions under jurisdiction
