Leon- -lingual and has , We have people from Temagami~: lighgrade at Cobalt Library couraged to take one "hard" book in addition to the "easy" ones. This plan has worked very well. The great need at the present time is books for the non-fiction section of our library, books on travel, the arts, social science and biographies to name a few. We have only a small number that have beeen written in recent years. During the year the board pur- chased two sets of encyclopedia, The Canadiana and the Briittanica Jr. These books fill a long-felt need in the community if we judge by the number of people using them. Appreciation must be expressed to the local teachers and school boards for the splendid co-opera- tion they have given to both the librarian and ithe library board.
