Chief Librarian Teils Rotary Library is Diane Dineen B.A., M.L.S.. chief librarian for the Town of Newcastle told the Bowman- ville Rotary club on Thursday that ". . .unfortunately the library in this community is in fact badly underfunded." She stated "statistics gathered from other libraries and from the provincial government show that this community is spending much less per capita on the library system and as a result, the services offered may not be of the same level as those offered in other areas." She continued "It is most unfortunate that the libraryis short of funds at a time when the area covered has been increased." Miss Dineen made specific mention of the Darlington and Newtonville areas. She stated "the Dar- lington area which is part of the Town of Newcastle does not have a library of its own, yet at present we have no way of extending our service to these people. Other areas such as Newtonville have also requested library service, yet our financial allotment does not allow us to expand to meet these requests." Miss Dineen is this area's first formally trained librar- ian. She was hired by the town to direct all library activity in the area, January 1, 1975. Speaking at the Rotary Club's regular dinner meeting, she explained the financing of libraries, the facilities avail- able, the benefit to the libraries achieved through regional government, her offi- cial duties, and reported on the history of t he three libraries in the Town of Newcastle. She told the club that the funding is done by (1) a grant of $1.35 per capita from the provincial government, (2) a grant, also on a per capita asis from the municipality, and(3) sundry fees, fines etc., as the library may charge, although this is a very small amount. On the history of Libraries in the town, Miss Dineen gave the following report. "Form- erly, there were three separ- ate library boards for the three independent libraries of Orono. Newcastle and Bow- "HOW'LL I COLLECT?" An independent insurance agent is not the employeè of one insurance company. He has several companies to choose from in selecting insurance to fityour needs.

When the town was formed, these three libraries became the responsibility of one board. This board is also responsible for the Darlington area which (as previously stated) has no library but must depend on Bowmanville or Oshawa for service. "The three libraries grew up independently over the years and each has had an interesting history." Bowmanville Library "The citizens of this town have long been concerned with education outside the school walls. In 1856, a mechanics institute which provided read- ing material as well as lectures and study courses "for the educationalbenefit of the working classes," was established in the old Town Hall. The library has travelled since then. It has had quarters in a store on King near Division, in the present Town Hall, the old post office building and in 1965 the library opened in its present location on Temperance St. "It should be noted that through the years Rotary has greatly assisted the library, F articularly when it was ocated in the old post office building which they revnovat- ed and furnished and gave to the library board. "It is surprising to note the growth of the Bowmanville Library over the past 20 years. Previously, the library was contained in one small room in the town hall and now has over 10,000 square feet of space to call its own." Newcastle Library The library "which is in the Community Hall was esta- blished in 1923 as a memorial to those who fell in the Great War, primarily supported by donations in its early years until the provincial govern- ment started to assist in its support through per capita grants. It is now funded through the Newcastle Public Library Board. In January of this year the Newcastle Li- brary expanded from its one room quarters irnto a new area across the hall and now offers more space and services for the residents of the Village of Newcastle." Clarke Library This library "in Orono has also travelled around. In the early 1900's it was set up in a drugstore and run by a group of ladies in the community. If then moved to rooms over the fire hall, to another store, and then to the basement of the town hall. "Quite a large sum of money was left to the library in Lena Renwick's wili and with this money the board purchased a large house on the corner of Church and Centre. This house also con- tains the museum. "As you can see, these libraries have grown a great deal in response to the demands of the community," Miss Dineen stated. She gave the following report on facilities provided by the region and the local libraries: She began, "these three formerly independent librar- ies which are now one, also belong to a larger library system the Central Ontario Regional Library System. This is a group of 20 libraries which work together in book buying and processing and also in other areas. The area goes as far west as Brampton and Mississauga, east as far as Newcastle and north to Newmarket and Aurora. The metro Toronto area is exclu- ded. By working together, these libraries are able to provide materials and servi- ces which would be too expensive for the small indi- vidual libraries. "The region provides a van delivery service every day which takes books and films, etc. to and from the various libraries. They also havé telex AUTO & USED CARS LICENSED MECHANIC ON DUTY TOP PRICES FOR WRECKS AND SCRAP GOOD SELECTION OF USED CARS R. R. 2 - Newcastle 987-4636 Two Miles North of No. 2 on Morgan's Rd.

"The region also offers various training programs for library personnel, se said. Miss Dineen gave a descrip- tion of services and facilities available here in Bowman- ville.She stated "of course we have books - a wide selection of them - from the latest bestseller to Picasso, to dino- saurs, to car repair manuals. "If we don't have what you waht," she continued "we can borrow it through our Inter Library Loan Service and we should have the item for you within several days. We first try within our own region for the book and if it is not available there, we try outside our region and on occasion outside the country. "At present, the library does not have tapes or records. However, we do have a block of 16mm films which are free and we have a 16mm projector and screen which can be rented for $3. If you are not familiar with this equip- ment, we can train you in its use. "We also have a photocopier for which we charge 10 cents per page. A large selection of Dutch books is available to meet the needs of those who read this language and we have a number of large print books for those w o are visually handicapped. "We also have a good collection of coffee table books - those large expensive books on art and photography. "The library offers such programs as story hour, film f ograms and puppet shows or kids. We have two meeting rooms which can be booked - one large and one small. These rooms are free of charge to non profit groups and a small charge is levied for money making ventures. "We also have space for exhibits such as the sculpture show which is on now and shortly, the Orono painter Drummond will have an exhibition of his paintings." Miss Dineen made mention of Rotarian Neil Newton running the photography gallery at the Bowmanville Library. In conclusion to this topic, Miss Dineen stated "These are the services offered by our local libraries. In -addition, there are items available through the regiònal system. You just place your request at your loca llibrary and within a few days - you have the item. "Such things as talking books are available - these are cassette tapes of popular books for use by any handi- capped person whether blind or in some other way unable to handle a book.

Miss Dineen outlined her position as chief executive officer and treasurer of the library board. She outlined her many duties as being responsible to the library board for directing, contro ling and co-ordinating library activities and implementing policies, plans, an programs approved by the board. She stated she acted as a technical advisor to the board, super- vised library programs and services and is responsible for purchasing material, equip- ment and furniture for the libraries. She also is in charge of personnel and training, budget preparation, library expansion programs, and pub- lic relations. She concluded "In short, I am the manager of a business - non-profit but none the less a business. The purpose of this business is to meet the needs of this com- munity*" The address ended with a list of short range goals the library system in Newcastle is undertaking: increase staff; offer a wide range of child- ren's rograms, crafts, pup- pet shows, etc.; lengthen hours 12 a.m. to 8 p.m. Despite a stormy night there was a good turn out at the Euchre party on Frida even- ing in Kendal Hall The winners were as follows: lady's high Mrs. Dorothy Walker, lady's low Mrs. Silva Hillis; gent's high Allan Downes and gent's low Mike Williams.
