a lL CE CT ER CASEI eno. INS PIE TR es Carn Ra. -- 2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, October 11, 1989 Library in desperate need of more books The Scugog Memorial Li- brary badly needs new books. And Friends of the Li- brary plan to do something about it. Friends of the Library was a group of interested local citizens who did a lot of work when the library was being built and the initial period after it opened. Now, this group is being re-activated, and the goal is to spur public interest to add to the number of books at the li- brary. The library is about 10,000 books short of the num- ber it should have, considering the large population it serves. Friends of the Library hope that local service clubs and organizations will respond in a positive fashion to the need to add more books to the library shelves. Already, one such organi- zation, the Port Perry Rod and Gun Club, has agreed to make a $500 donation for new books, and will turn over a cheque lat- er this month. And if there are persons in- terested in volunteering to work with Friends of the Li- brary, a meeting will be held Oc- tober 24 at the Library, starting at 7:30 PM. 5th, 1989. on our fine O selection of of ¥ : AN H hic ; "9 or # ; RR Larry Mabley and his wife Joan were the guests of hon- our at a dinner last Thursday evening to mark his retirement from the Scugog Hydro Commission. Larry worked 23 years as manager of the Commission. Chairman Bill Van Camp (left) and Mayor Howard Hall presented Larry with retirement gifts, and other were received from Ontario Hydro, the Elec- trical Suppliers of Ontario and Uxbridge Hydro. Larry had words of praise for his wife Joan who often "manned" the phone when the hydro was out In the middle of a stormy night.
