Registration forms and work sheets for the Regional Conference on October 18, 19 & 20th were distribut- ed to Mrs. M.J. McGrath, Mrs. D. McGuire and Mrs. R. Hill. Disatisfaction with the Bookmobile service was again expressed and it was decided to present a letter of recommendations for improvements of these to the Regional conference. Librarian, Mrs. Hill, urged that action be taken on obtaining correspondence courses for part-time librarians who do not have the opportunity to attend workshops. The increasing interest in the library is a matter of great satisfaction to the trustees, but also an embar+ rasement since the need for more space, more books and more shelves is quite evident. It was decided to purchase a set of the Encycloped: ia Britannica junior for grades 3-8. Accounts to the amount of $72.40 were endorsed for payment. Twelve children's books were sent to the Arts Centre for repairs . The high school assisted the librarian in selecting books from the new Want List.
