The auditorium and program rooms were booked almost solidly by com- munity groups requiring meeting rooms. "As well, 636 lbrary programs made use of the rooms," Hope-Brown said. One inovation of the library in 1979 was the in- stallation of a community calendar of events, publicizing coming events throughout Whitby. According to Town of Whitby Treasurer AI Claringbold, the Whitby Public Library spent $446,858 on varlous programs in 1979 resulting in a $4,000 deficit. 0f the money spent, the town granted the library $379,455 while the rest came from grants from the provincial government arid Wintario as well as from fines and other fees paid to the library. According to Claringbold, the $4,000 deficit will be paid out of this year's grant the town gives to the library. The town's budget com- mittee also reduced the budget through denying the library the operating funds for their proposed book- mobile. Councîl also decided t.hat the bookmobile will not be purchased this year despite dlaims by t.he llbrary board that the operating funds would stili be needed even without the vehicle. In her closing statement, Hope-Brown said that "as we look ahead to the year 1980, we feel confident that, inspite of financial stringen- cy, due to rising costs, the library will continue to oc- cupy a vital place in the growth of the town and con- tribute to the pleasure and informational needs of citizens of ail ages and in- terests." 9,895 unemployed The number of clients unemployed and registered for work at the Canada Em- ployment Centres in Ajax, Wliitby and Oshawa for the month of February totalled 9,895, consisting of 4,849 female and 5,046 maie clien- ts, Gary Hilier, spokesman for the centres said last week.
