ONE PRICE a lot of heat from a public that would see the move as a double whammy on their pocketbooks â€" once through taxes to support the library and another through a direct Director Eleanor James admitted such a change would probably bring This year, the library is required to pull in its belt even tighter and this ultiâ€" mately involved later openings and earlier closings. Although more opening hours would be difficult to add, she thought the library board would be considerâ€" ing a reâ€"scheduling of hours in the new year with Stewart‘s suggestion of halfâ€" day Saturday openings for all branches being taken into consideration. At the same time, Hopkins emphasized that the library is always sensitive to suggestions from its patrons and welcomes any comments regarding alternative scheduling. The library‘s summer hours, from June 15th to Sept. 14th, are as follows: Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. As stated, White Oaks and Woodside branches are closed Saturdays. "However, this would add half a day to the current schedule and I don‘t know if we can do this," she said. "It wouldn‘t contribute to the savings we need to realize (in the coming year)." (Continued from page 1) the Glen Abbey branch opened in 1991, providing servicing for homes above and below the QEW, its usage was high enough to warrant it remaining open on Saturdays, she said. ‘"We believe it should be kept free," she said later, "The town is supportive of what we charge and don‘t charge for." However, a municipal paper that has been submitted to the province‘s Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation calls for changes to rigid stipulations under Regulation 100 of the revised Library Act of 1984. Municipalities are stating they want more flexibiliâ€" Saturday closures a necessity service charge. That‘s why she told library board members recently, that the matter would have to be extenâ€" sively debated and public consultaâ€" tion would have to be instituted.

And the library, like any other business, is having to tighten its belt considerâ€" ably in light of reduced transfer payments from the province to the ty in what libraries can and cannot charge for. And that could mean opening up the door to user fees. Any change, however, would have to be legislated and the proâ€" cess could take many months. James said changes could even result in some libraries charging user fees and others not. One hopeful sign came from the Ministry with its announcement that the provincial grant of $283,109 would not be affected by cutbacks this year. "We were pleased ‘h;#histry lobbied heavily that it WOUld not be cut," said James. "It was at risk of being reduced 10 to 16%." _â€" But another spectre in the guise of the social contract agfeement is rising up to menace the library and will force it to consider More cost town.
