LibrrianTeIIs Lions System Seri*ously Underfunded 1by Liz Armstong. According to statistics pre- pared by the provincial gov- ernrnent in 1973, the New- castle Library system is one of the rnost poorly funded in Ontario. 1Miss Diane Dineen, Chief Librarian for the Town of Newcastle explained the local board's plight in a speech to the Bowrnanville Lions at their regular meeting Monday evening, Sept. 23rd. C7ornpared to 112 other Library Boards in the pro- vince, Newcastle ranked lO7th, leaving only five other areas with less rnoney to work with. To make matters even worse, the firtancial difficul- ties have corne at a time when the area the library system serves has been increased. The Darlington area, which cornes under the jurisdiction of the Newcastle Board, does flot even have a library of its own, and as a resuit. of the current financial bind, there is no ýway that library services cao be extended into that location. it seems clear that the municipalitv is to biame for the shortage of funds. Libra- ries are funded by four sources; a per capita grant from the provincial govern- ment which is currently $135, a per capita grant from the municipality, sundry fees and fines charged by the lîbrary, and donations from private citizens. The per capita allowance that Newcastle presently grants the library system is $235. Most other municipali- ties give their ibraries-aout $500 per person and sorne go as high as $7-8.00. Miss Dineen believes that the Town Council did not want to bre the taxpayers with addtionýal increases this year anid would ot have accepted a bud!get thiat would bring the local ibrarY system in line with othier boards. She has beeîn waxrned that the 1976 granti may even be decreased despite the rising, costs of printed materials and the rate of inflation. The financial squeeze has a direct effect on the number of services that the Newcastle library system can offer. The pressure on the local organiza- tion is relieved somewhat by the Central Ontario Regional Library System. This is a group of 20 library systems which often work together on ventures of mutual interest. By co-operating, the libraries are able to cut costs and reduce labor. services prvided by the regional bod:y inlude use of a daily delivery van which takes books and materials to and frorn the various libraries in the area. Thie larger libraries in the system have Telex equiprnent s0 that a borrower cao have access to materials frorn across Canada; this inter-library loan service is free of charge. -h - re branches of the Newcastle, Lirairy Board are Bowmyanville, NIIewcastle Vill- age and the Clarke branch in Orono. Despiteý the dollar pinch they are able to provide rnany services thiat the public may not be aware of. The library in Bowmanville bas a photocopier which anyone may use at a charge of ten cents per page. There are two rneeting rooms wich may be used at no cost by non-profit organizations, and for a small fee by profit-making groups. There is space in the town library for exhibits such as sculpture and painting. The Photography Gallery operat- ed ty Neil Newton is located in the branch, though it is not affiliated with the Board. The Library also offers such varied activities as story hours, film shows, craf t pro- 7 grams and puppets for the M cildren, and the branch soon hopes to provide prograrns for adults. Though the Bowmanville library does not have tapes or records, it does have a block of 16 mm filrns, and a projector and screen wbich may be rented for $300. If a borrower is not familiar with the equipment, the staff will train hlm in its use. A large selection of Dutch books is available to meet the needs of residents in this area who speak that language, and there are also a number of large print books for the visually handicapped. In addition to the books in the stacks, the library sub- scribes to 40 different maga- zines and journals and six newspapers. Miss Dineenwould ovos ly like to see, the services of the local library system ex- panded and she, encouraged the Lions to speak to the Mayor and rnernbers of coun- cil about increasing municipal grants, 50 that the 'public interest could be better served in Newcastle. Originally from Mount For- est, Miss Dineen received hier B.A. from the University of Guelph, and her Master of Library Science from West- ern. She bas taken Business Administration courses in Windsor and hopes to coin- plete that degree on a part- time basis at the University of Toronto. Prior to accepting tbe post as Chief Librarian for the Town df Newcastle, she was employed as a school librarian and bad worked for the Windsor Public Library. In other Lion news, Presi- dent Moe Richards, rernem- bered bis own hbirthday but forgot to mention Fred EY- man's : he was dulv fined for the oversight. Bob Williams received a pin and recognition for bis 19 year perfect atten- dance record. The Club bid farewell to Glen Fry wbo is moving to Tillsonburg in the near future.
