Population AIl' eyes will be carefully watching the huge thermometer outside the new Bowmanville Library building. Bowmanville Rotary Club has volunteered to turn the oid post office building into a complet ely furnished and equipped public library. The Rotarians will be doing most of the labour themselves but are asking Bow.. manville and district residents to share in the cost of furnishing the building. An objective of $8,000 has been set and the Rotarians have started the campaign off by donating $2,000. Many Visit New Library On Weekend Renovations on the new Bow- manvile Library were started Friday evening by the Bow- manville Rotary Club which is sponsoring the project. Work is stili in the early stages and it will be somnetime before the proposed library at the corner of King and te m- perance is completely furnish- ed and decorated. Interest In the new library is steadi]y mounting with spe- cial enthusiasm from the young- sters who are keyed up over the children's section. To date the flooring has been replaced, one archway has been partitioned and the walls and ceilings have been scrubbed. It ig expected that most of the work will be done by the, Rotarians on Friday and Mon- day evenings. Accordingly the public is invited to corne and inspect the new library on et- ther evening or any time the "Work in Progress" sign is dis- piayed. Receptionists will be on hand ta answer qquestians. Since most of the Rotarians wîil be attending the District Conference in Toronto this week-end, there will flot be too much activity around the building. However the Rotar- ians wiil be back in the aver- 1ails in full force the followingi week. To show the progress of their campaign ta raise funds for furnishing and equ4pping the1 librarv, the Rotary club has erecte d a thermometer outsidie the new library. Their objective is $8,000 and ta start the cam- paign the Club gave $2,000.
