elected president for the following
year; Mrs. T. Wilson was named
secretary-treasurer and Dr. ■ C. C.

Secretary, H. T. Wylie, gave his re
port, showing that one purchase of
new books had been made and that
another purchase will be made with
the balance now on hand.
The purchasing committee is head
ed this year by Mr. Ken. Ashton
whose experience has aided Fordwich
library along this line. The Librarians

A resolution was passed instructing
libraries to return all loans of books
to the central depot at Gorrie, at the
close of each .three months period,

placed on the village representative to

prive any library from reborrowing

date, which can be done, but it is
hoped will prove a better means of
keeping all books in freer circulation.
