1 I Library Hoping to Have Year Round Popularity The Canadian Statesman, Bowiiianville, July 18,1990 15 t by Andrea Adair lit isn't unusual for librarians librarians to find people only visiting visiting the library for school projects or to do research. ! It also isn't strange for them to find students and adults alike, intimidated about asking for assistance. One of the methods to combat this "librarian phobia" phobia" is to get children more familiar with the library staff and the library itself through summer programs. Maria Politano, community community services librarian at the Newcastle Public Library, said the programs are designed designed to keep kids in the facility facility during the summer. . ;*We want them to see it is not just a place for doing school projects," she said. £The programs bring in young, people and help to make them feel more comfortable comfortable with the. library's uses. | For that reason, a large portion of the programs scheduled throughout the summer are connected to reading or related library programs. JiFor example, the paper airplane ' program is based entirely on how-to books. i Ms Politano said the world is increasingly becoming becoming more information oriented oriented and the library is an "in- ■ jSï exhaustible source of information." But people tend to have different perceptions of the facility, she explained. Many see the library as a place for projects. "But it's also a place to do leisure reading and finding information." information." In the past, summer programs programs have always achieved great success and this year there are twice as many programs programs as before. The only difference this year is that children taking part are being asked to register register or pick up tickets in advance advance to ensure they can participate. Ms Politano said there is no fee for any of the pro- . grams but there are space restrictions. A large portion of the projects projects are geared to school age children because the majority of programs in the fall, winter and spring are for pre-schoolers. Some of the day programs programs include paper airplanes, airplanes, puppet shows, origami, origami, a cushion concert and a mime theatre. Back by popular demand this year is "spy school" for people with a secret desire to learn about code-cracking, fingerprinting and secret codes.

Ms Politano said the program program is very popular, adding adding that 400 children participated participated last summer.

Those who have been following the story of the ospreys ospreys which were determined determined to nest on a hydro pole have a surprise. Last year they did build a nest on the pole put up for them by hydro workmen, but it was not known if there were any young. This year watchers saw. a bird sitting on the nest, and soon a much larger larger bird arrived with a fish. The one on the nest moved over to stand on the real hydro hydro pole, while the bigger bird tore the fish apart, and fed at least two young. Bird authorities say the female is much larger and does the feeding. This week Harold Austin saw 14 swans flying northwest, perhaps commuting commuting from the lake to Garden Hill pond. The humming bird nest at Harold Best's is used again this year or else a new one is in the same place.
