The Boys‘ and Giris‘ Department of the Timmins Public Library continues to be the most important section. The children are our most enthusiastic members. Last winter 300 children helped their library to run. Indeed, without their help we could never have handled the increased circulation. When children are given responsibility, it is marvellous to see what they can do. From six years of age on they are able to find book cards in the files for the incoming books. As young as eight years they arrange book cards in nuâ€" merical order. After the books are punched, the girls find sewing the books for mending a fascinating pastime Every Saturday afternoon there is a crowd of youngsters around a table pasteing. They paste book pockets into new books, they do simple mending and they reinforce the book jackets. In order to handle 300 children we have to follow a strict timeâ€"table. Each child has a "library period" once in two weeks. The children who have helped in the library are better members, takâ€" ing better care of their books. They can also find books for themselves more casily and they are well behaved. Since the beginning of last August 37 story hours have been held. During that time 2706 children have been enâ€" tertained. The record attendance at any one Saturday morning story hour was 133 on Nov. 27 1943. The average for the season was 73 per Saturday.
