Barbara Baker, chief librarian, librarian, explained that the program is for children in grades one, two, and three. Each child will be matched with an older volunteer volunteer who has completed at least the grade six level and is a competent reader. That volunteer supervises the child's reading for six weeks. "It's like having a reading buddy, which makes it more interesting," explained the chief librarian. The program does not teach reading but it will give practice during the summer months to students who want it. i The project has produced ' an v excellent 1 result from volunteers thus far. To date, about àti oÇthem have registered registered to helj). And now that a supply of helpers is assured, the library library is looking for grade one, two, and three students who want to improve their reading skills. The benefit to the younger participants will be additional practice in reading and discussing books, while the benefit to the volunteers will be job- related experience. Volunteers Volunteers are not paid, but they are expected to behave as if their duties were part of a full-time job. They are expected expected to arrive on time and prepare for their work. This may give them greater confidence confidence and experience when they apply for a summer summer job in later years. This six week program will take place at the Bowmanville Bowmanville Library Wednesdays Wednesdays between the hours of 10 and 11:30 a.m. Further information is available from any branch of the Town of Newcastle library library system.

Included Included in that amount is the $35,000 corporate contribution from Goodyear Canada Incorporated announced announced on Wednesday, May 22. Like the Lions Club, Goodyear is also observing an important anniversary anniversary this year and the donation donation to the hospital coincides with the company's 75th anniversary in Bowmanville. Mr. Cowan estimates that the hospital hospital campaign will be completed by July. And he adds that considering considering the program only began six months ago, the response has been excellent. "I'm well-pleased. The response has really been super," he said. Once the funds from the public are secured, then the hospital will, receive an estimated $3.1 million from provincial authorities. The foundation chairman noted, however, that fund-raising efforts are by no means over and that work will have to continue until the final target is reached. "The last $100,000 is the toughest part," he said. The hospital is planning to begin site preparation for the building program this fall. Actual construction construction is slated to begin in the spring of 1986. School Board Briefs Stealing a book from a school library used to mean just walking out with it. Now, in 4 of the N orthumberland/N ew- castle board's 8 secondary secondary schools, it involves outsmarting a Library Detection System. The board has been purchasing purchasing a detection system system for one school every year since a 1981 survey revealed the libraries' libraries' steady loss of books. In 1985-86 two more systems will bet installed installed at Port Hope High School J and Campbellford District High School. The "Tattle-Tape" "Tattle-Tape" detection systems systems cost $14,000 per unit but it is estimated that the savings from book loss pays for the device within three years.
