4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc. March 4,1987 A guide to fine dining and entertainment. Overhaul May be in the Works for Newcastle Library System by Tammy Hill Within the next ten years, residents of the Town of Newcastle may see a complete complete revamping of the public public library system. Consultants are being sought for the library needs assessment study, which could be the basis for renovations renovations and improvements within the library system. Chief Librarian Barbara Baker told library board members at their February meeting that 20 proposal requests requests have been sent out to consultants. The deadline for consultant consultant submissions is March 20, 1987 and at the April meeting of the library board, a consultant is expected expected to be chosen to complete complete the study. The board's selection criteria will based on the consultant's understanding of the project needs, the quality of the proposed approach, approach, the cost of the project, project, a proven track record showing that the consultant can complete an assignment assignment of this type, and the consultant's ability to meet content and time demands. The money for the library needs assessment study is in hand as the result of a grant from the Town of Newcastle in the libraries' 1986 capital budget. The library library board will also be looking towards the Ministry Ministry of Citizenship and Cul- ■"lure Lottery Programme for further grants. However, application for this may not be made until a consultant has been chosen. The reasons behind the 10-year needs assessment study are: to determine the current and projected needs for library services; to evaluate the present services services being provided, to analyze the facility, collection, collection, staffing and resource requirements (both short and long term), and to recommend recommend an organizational structure for service throughout the Town. The Town of Newcastle Public Library is presently serving a population of 33,542 and the board is predicting predicting this figure will grow. In fact, the Chief Librarian's Librarian's report for the book circulation of all three library library branches is evidence of that expansion. It revealed revealed that circulation has climbed by 9.4 percent comparing comparing 1986 over 1985. That's the sort of growth which will affect the future plans of the library. Factors which will be considered in the needs study and future planning of the library are: the rapid residential growth in Cour- tice, the completion of the Darlington Generating Station, Station, the opening of the GO train line, and an aging population concentrated in certain areas of the Town.

The Town of Newcastle has already already established a reserve fund for the Courtice branch based on the projected projected five-year capital budget presented by the library library board. The board will also be looking for recommendations recommendations on the necessity of a new main library building within the Town. Along these lines, the board has asked in its proposal that consultants pay particular attention to the population characteristics of the municipality. The library board has established established an ad hoc needs study committee which will act as the steering committee committee for the project. The committee committee will consist of three board members, the board chairman and chief executive executive officer and three citizens citizens of the Town of Newcastle. Newcastle. An advertisement was run in the newspapers asking asking for three residents of the Town who would like to sit on the committee and offer input. However, "Despite the ads in the newspaper we have had a very skimpy response response and had to go out and beat the bushes," (to find three citizens), commented commented board member William Lover. And due to the poor response response only three names were received for the committee. committee. Therefore, those who submitted their names will sit on the committee. Once the consultant has been chosen in April, the board estimates that the report report will take 22 weeks to complete. Starlight Chapter The meeting of Starlight Chapter was held on Wed.
