From one perspective, we are a building housing a collection of books, films and other library materials. From another perspective, we serve as an access point, where our local users are able to tap into books and materials from other libraries in our Ontario Library Service region of Trent. Over 1% million books are available as well as thousands of films. How does it work? If you can't find what you want, all you have to do is ask. We will in turn ask the other libraries to send us the information, book or film. Following is a list of new books available at the library as of March 15.

At a special executive meeting Thursday night, the Chamber's recently elected board of directors put the wheels in motion to find a replacement for Wally Cunningham, Chamber of Commerce General Manager and Midland's Commissioner of Development for the past five years. Cunningham submitted his resignation to Chamber President Ralph Lynn Thursday, Feb. 21 after accepting a staff architect's position with the City of North York. He will begin his new duties Monday, March 25. At Thursday's meeting a four-man committee, chaired by John Childs, was appointed to research an updated job description. When their report is complete then the position will likely be advertised in the local media, a Toronto paper, and several appropriate newsletters, says Lynn. Regular business resumed with committee reports at another Chamber of Commerce executive meeting Tuesday night. | = Gib> > PD 4p 2D 422 --4--D> 42> 42P <DD> 4p 4D «4D ap a=, to HDH Stella Prisque, 48, of Baxter Road East, Honey Harbour, was taken to MHuronia District Hospital late Sunday night suffering from a mjor leg injury after the snowmobile she was riding on hit an open area of slush and water about 10 inches deep and caused the machine to roll over on its side.
