Orono Weekly I tines, Wednesdays October 21, 1987-3 Undertake $4.5 million plant in north Clarke for growth while lor the Orono area no growth was predicted. 1 : Forrester said the Village entered the regional system with a good library and even though other areas needed to be servicld there should be no cause to close the Clarke library in Orono. He supported the maintenance of the present library location stating the building was in fairly good repair. An engineers report last year suggested suggested the expenditure of $30,000 to undertake minor repairs to the facility of which $8,000 was to be spent this year. Forrester asked what has it cost to maintain the Bowmanville facility over the past few years and that is a, fairly new building? The report submitted at the meeting showed the population of Bowmanville reaching 16,000 by 1996 and Courtice reaching a similar population. Newcastle Village is expected to grow to a population of 4000 over the same period of time while Orono remains static at 1900. A chart in the report further reports a book circulation of 130,000* in 1986 while Orono statistics in book circulation was set at 35,000 and Newcastle in the area of 27,500. The report also pointed to a strong growth factor in inter library loans and reference requests. The municipality has supported the library service with funds of $358,717 with the province with ' $80,488 in grants for 1987. The report states that the library is providing a good basic level of book service to the community. However the report points to challenges to be faced in terms of its role in the community, its facilities, collections, services and most importantly the support it receives at the political and grassroots level. As to the facilities the consultants report state the three branches are not well suited to library use and that all are at capacity and accessibility accessibility is poor. The report further further states that the library is underfunded underfunded at the municipal level although recent events suggest that Differ)n Aggregates will spend $4.5 million litis winter lo erect a plant which will extract and wash support is improving. Looking to the future the report states there are three main challenges. These challenges include bringing the current library sërvice up to standard, to address the demands of the 'new community' and to position the library for stronger, community support, now and in the future. Phase two of the study is now to be considered which is to include the analyzes of the options as to facilities and developing a program of change of library service. Phase three " is to refine the library's role as to facilities, service and materials and to develop an implementation implementation plan. 500 to 600/tons ot aggregate and gravel each hour. The plant is to be built on 120 acres in the' former Township of Clarke, one mile east of Highway 115 on Regional road 20, McRae's Church road.

The difference with the Milton operation is the fact that the source starts as solid rock. The plant when in full operation is expected to employ about 35 people. people. • MERRILL D. BROWN, o.l.s.
