Although the main function of the Institute is now unknown, records state it was used as-a public forum and a hall for conducting Methodist services. It also contained a "'well-stock- ed" library. One proof of the library's an- tiquity is the following quota- tion from Col. J. E.. Farewell's history of Ontario County, pub- lished in 1902: "Whitby has had a good public library for the last 65 years. It was carried on first by the Whitby Library Association, the Mechanics In- stitute, and under the Public Library Act." The site for the. present library. was purchased in 1911, with the aid of donations from the County of Ontario 'Old The Andrew Carnegie the Town of Whitby and Ontario) History points up controversy surrounding the voting of Town funds for the new library's, building and maintenance. The library's supporters won their point, -however, when the town consented to donate yearly funds to the institution. Ultimate aims of the new library were considered at that time, along with questions of finance. A motion passed by the Library Board at the time of the town commitment reads that the library should be, in a measure, a centre for social, literary and artistic life of the people, and that the building should be designed with a view to fulfilling social needs, and other than the mere housing of the library which, in a town somewhat burdened with debt, cannot otherwise be provided." The library now situated at Dundas street west and Byron street, a compact two stories wih a columned front entrance, was completed in 1914 Col. Farewell officiated. at its opening. Lyman T. Barclay was assigned the first chair- manship. A recent advance was the opening of the children's library in 1952, the library's Centen- nial year, in the room used at one time as an unofficial centre for community meetings In 1964 further change is in sight. Mrs. H. G. Bracey, Head Librarian. for the past 19 years, states: "The building is ii ex- cellent condition, having been well maintained over the years. "However, it is much too crowded and. small for the present population of the town. The Library Board has pre- now, and is hopeful of getting a grant irom the Centennial Fund, so thai we may go alicad with a new building. The Whitby Free Public Library today boasts the larg- est membership on record, with the largest selection of books and periodicals to date. Grama- phone records have been add- ed to library stocks. < as follows: ey Metro Jews Plan Anti-Hate March TORONTO (CP) -- Officials) of the Canadian Jewish Con-| gress said Sunday they plan a| mass demonstration here April 9 to protest the circulation of] NEAL'S BARBER SHOP 123 BROCK ST.
