LIBRARY BOARD ANNUAL MEETING H.M. Ermel presided for the annual meeting of the trustees of the Public Library when reports were read by Miss Gwen Hadley, secretary-treasurer. Books were audited by J.D. Friesen, manager of the Bank of Montreal, to whom a letter of appreciation was directed. A letter of thanks was also sent to John David Eaton for the donation of a most valuable book "To Everything There Is A Season". The library, established in 1891, has had many boards, all directed to improving it, and although there was satisfaction in the new quarters it now. occupies in the town hall, already, it is realized, the space is inadequate. In addition to the research done by high school students, and others taking extra-mural courses through universities, a surprising amount is now being done by grade school pupils. 12,463 books were circulated last year among 460 borrowers. There were 3,075 books on the ;shelves and this year there are 3,301. The library is open 15 hours a week - two hours on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and on Friday from 2-5 and 7 -9 p.m. The Friday evening hour was inaugurated to aid students doing research and for mothers who can arrange then to exchange books while shopping. A value of $7,000. is placed on the books and $850. on furniture. Mr. Ermel stated that B.B.C. documentary films are now available.
