residents by a citizens group and filed in summary with the Milton Council and Milton ibrary Board week The interest supported the idea of a bookmobile type of serviet but recognized that other of library would prove to bt uneconomical difficult to administer citizens which v is responsible for the distribution of GOO in Ward One iTrafal gar and in Ward Thret noted lack of public transportation many citizens rum using the in urban Milton A van type bookmobile of sufficient size would be needed for this purpose It would appear possible that community halls church basements or schools could be used at various limes during the week for activity programs such as hours films puppet shows crafts magic shows etc These programs should be initiated and controlled by Ihe Central Library In teres led citizens within the areas should bo contacted and in The recognized that Central Library would have lo improve book collection its staff anil atlivclv communicate with the public Immediate funding would be necessary The committee regarded tht response rale lo Ihe questionnaires as good with l per cent being returned from ward one and per cent being relumed from ward Ward three earlier had a library in started in 1068 by a group of In 73 ihe Library Board Was formed and funded from provincial grants In with the inception of regional government the library came under the Jurisdiction of

for not using the Millon I was primarily distance per other libraries 6 7 per cent book collection inadequate for needs J per cent or per libraries 13 I per The projected interest was mainly in a bookmobile per while 33 per cent preferred a static book collection and per cent preferred a revolving book In tabulating the figures tht committee detected a specific need for service north of 10 with 25 33 per tent indicating ihey would use an extended vice and 16 per cent prefer a bookmobile service The committee concluded that an txtended service of some lpt is definitely needed in many parts of ward three so in are i of the ward north of 10 It would seem a bookmobile making three or four stops would be preferred tine It It i Moffat respon den said Milton is completely useless to anyone living north An Acton respondent suggested ary service in Campbellville seems be an unnecessary expense A respondent suggested the hamlet was isolated transportation wise and is a growing community so should have easy access lo library services part of which the residents already pay for A bookmobile should cover the whole area just Camp and an It 2 respondent suggested Others
