WELFARE CASES DROPPING IN NUMBER The number of welfare cases administered by Durham Regions Social Ser- vices Department *has been showing a decline during the year.

The basic collections of the book leasing programme which the Library has started for the Clarke and Newcastle Memorial branches as well as for the main branch in Bowmanville have just arriv ed. It is the first time the Newcastle Public Library bas leased books for its users rather than purchase them. Under the lease pro- gramme each library location has 200 volumes for use but a quota of titles no longer in heavy demand may be return- ed monthly to the lessor and new titles selected to replace them. The Library expects that the service will be effec- tive in providing popular new titles. Chief Librarian, Bar- bara Baker notes, "We will lease duplicate titles for each branch location as required but tbe Library won't be left with those multiple copies still on its sbelves months and years after the demand is gone." The Library system will continue to purchase new titles for its permanent book collection but duplication will be kept to a minimum. Comparison Shop & Save on •.
