The support the people of Osh- awa have given their library can be seen in some of the cir- culation figures. Ten yeers ago, when it moved to its present quarters, there were 42,124 books in the library. At the end of December 1964, : they had a book collection of 91,057. Ten years ago 174,733 books were loaned, while in 1964 448,851 books circulated. Not oniy the circulation of books has been growing every year, but all library services have vastly increased. The ref- erence department alone carries on an important service through inter-library loan, obtaining ref- erence materials from libraries as far away as Princeton and Harvard Universities. Students for miles outside the city, as well as Oshawa young people have made constant use of the reference departments. Many university students, busi- ness men and research workers have visited the library for as- sistance. In the last year, adult book circulaticu increased by 35,364 to stand at the all-time high of 242,492. 23,872 borrowers took out an avcrage of 10 books each. Library officials noted the pat- terns of reading have been changing, with the emphasis on continuing education in adult life and the influence of tele- vision seems, against earlier warnings, to have increased the| use of books. One of the expanding func- tions of the Circulation Depart- ment is the Book Reserve serv- ice which during 1964 reserved 1,566 books for library borrow- ers, testifying that Oshawa read- ers are extremely diverse and up-to-date in their interests, Many students reserved books for projects 'or debates but the majority were for books which have received good reviews in |the press Books which appeared in the lists almost constantly were Profiles in Courage by Presi- dent Kennedy, Black Like Me by J. H. Griffin and the novels of the late Ian Fleming. _ Although Oshawa's library is in 'constant use throughout the year, the peak periods occurred 100 Years Steady Growth Boast Of Public Library from January to March, July and August and the fall months. when annual vacation periods decrease staff considerably, was as high as the busiest win- ter months, newspapers, including 'Le De- voir, were Avell-read in the li- brary as well as the 2,711. per- iodicals which circulated. OTHER BOOKS j The growing collection of books in French, Dutch, Ger- man, Hungarian, Italian, Polish and Ukrainian continued to be read by members from other! countries. The work of checking and re- placing the fiction collection, which comprises about one-third of the total stock of 50,430 books, was completed in 1964. Booklists are prepared to as- sist the reader in his choice of hooks and a monthly annotated bibliography of books for busi- nessmen was compiled at the re- quest of the Chamber of Com- merce for inclusion in their newsletter. In 1964 the cataloguing depart- ment accessioned 2004 fiction books, 2,608 non-fiction, and transferred 319 books. The tolal additions were 4,931 with 779 fiction and 520 non-fiction withdrawn. Total stock in the adult de- partment stands at 50,430 books --14,460 fiction and 35,970 non- fiction, an increase of 3,313 over 1963. | On Friday afternoons the li-| |brary visits the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital.
