and raised in T.O., her parents only came to Canada during the Second World War, and her heritage continues to be a strong force. As a girl, she was active in a Ukrainian Scouting organiâ€" zation, and for a time, ran a small Saturday morning daycare centre with her sister. Daria was deeply influenced by her maternal grandmother as she was growing up. The older woman‘s warmth and wisdom and love of books gave her granddaughter strength and direction. "We are lucky that our children are so eager to explore," said Sharanewych. "They don‘t have many inhibitions. They‘re not hungâ€"up on the notion that the whole system may crash if they make a mistake. And they have this innate sense of wonder and discovery." One of the newest sources in the Children‘s Library is a CDâ€"ROM player which runs the complete Compton‘s Encyclopedia in a multiâ€" media form including audio and video. As the middle child of three in a traditional Ukrainian family, Daria claims she was always trying to please â€" "always the peacemaker." She laughed. Her first language was Ukrainian, for though she was born and raised in T.O., her parents only came to Canada during the Second World War, and her heritage continues to be a strong force.

Librarian has flare for storyâ€"telling Her flare for storyâ€"telling has never diminished â€" in both Ukrainian and English. "As librarians, it is our role to excite the key players â€" the caregivers â€" to convince them of the joys and benefits of reading and being read to. It‘s not a hard sell." Again, we do not doubt it. The darkâ€"haired Sharanewych is thirtyâ€"something, wildly exuberant, creative, and outgoing. Her laughter is infectious and her warmth genuine. A Toronto native, she was smitten by the arts at an early age, took singing and piano lessons, and in a case of brilliant casting, played the lead, Dolly Levy, in a high school production of Hello Dolly!

Sharanewych also welcomes opportunities to get out into the comâ€" munity, high schools, daycares, and other assorted groups, to share her philosophies on the importance of storyâ€"telling and reading, and generalâ€" ly sharing great literature with chilâ€" dren. _ Olge * Covered by most dental companies * Processed by our staff for your convenience! on §aturday,_ September 10th.

For it must be clear to everyone that the library has become much more than a book depository. It is a multiâ€" faceted resource centre with videos, audio cassettes, and CDs, and a toy ‘library‘ for preâ€"readers. It is a place where helpful, userâ€"friendly technoloâ€" gy is welcomed. For many years, in her spare time, Daria has sung in a Torontoâ€"based Ukrainian Women‘s Choir, which has traveled extensively around the world. Last summer, the choir competed in an international chorale festival in Wales and won first prize in the folk song category. In short, her life is full, and she uses the word "fun" quite a lot in a variety of contexts. To the point that she is concerned, her enthusiasm might just overshadow her considerable intellecâ€" tual and organizational skills. "Grandparents have so much to offer," commented the librarian. "It‘s a very special relationship." Sharanewych is married to a piano teacher named Darwin Gibson and has a 17â€"yearâ€"old stepson, Ian. And while she lives in Toronto, she works and shops in Oakville (Two out of three ain‘t bad.) _ *Also, FULL RES PARTIAL PLATES FOH THOSE WHO FORGOT THEIR MOUTHGUARDS LAST SEASON! 5353 Lakeshore Rd., Burlington 905 @639 @1597 She laughed. "New technology is always a challenge, but I‘ m becoming more and more comfortable with it, and it‘s really exciting." Adding more seriously, "We are aware if our resources don‘t stay on a par with the schools, our credibility will be at stake." "It‘s exciting to watch," said the head librarian. "The kids seem to love it. And it‘s lovely to see the parents sitting there while the kids show them how it works.
