Legislation may save libraries continued from page 1 North Huron are paying their share of the county tax to operate libraries,"he said. Noting the Goderich library is open 57 hours a week while the Wingham library is open only 38 hours, Reeve Fraser asked, "Why do the residents of Goderich area deserve better ser vice than North Huron?' Norm Fairies, Reeve of Howick, pointed out the Belmore library had been established years ago by the local community then taken over by the county to give better service. He wondered how closing the library could bring better service. He also complained about the lack of consultation in the library board decision. Tumberry Reeve Brian McBur- ney pointed out circulation in Bel more had increased 40 per cent last year. Many seniors living in the new seniors apartment project would miss the library, he said. But other reeves weren't sympa thetic. McKillop Reeve Marie Hicknell said her council had no problems with the closure of Wal ton library and East Wawanosh Reeve Ernie Snell, whose township will lose use of the Belgrave library, seconded the motion to confirm the library board recom mendation for closure. Ms Ross pointed out that of the 529 public library branches in southern Ontario, only 23 have a circulation of fewer than 2000 books a year. Of that number, seven have been in Huron, she said. Huron has the most service points per capita of any library system. "To me library service is more than geographic location" she said. She pointed out that Belmore library is open only three hours a week and if someone works during the after noon, it's impossible to get to the library when it's open. The Library Board, she said, was responding not just to the budget freeze, but to the reality of chang ing patterns in library use. Twenty years ago Walton branch had three times as many books borrowed as today, she said. People want the increased service the larger branch es can provide and are willing to travel further to get a better selec tion and longer hours. The closures will have the least impact on the fewest people, she said. But Reeve McBurney sensed there was something more behind the closures. Noting the number of branches had dropped from 27 to 23 and with the new closures would drop to 16, he wondered how long it would be before there were only 10 branches, in the five villages and five towns. "I think there may be other motives for this cut," he said. But Colbome Reeve Bill Van stone, a former library board chair man, said while he was chairman five branches were closed. "In the long run I think they would be bet ter off closed," he said. People are going to large centres at least once a week and can take advantage of the longer hours and better service while they're there, he said. In the case of four of the libraries, Belmore, Bluevale, Brucefield and Walton, the door may not yet be locked on the histo ry of the library. Provincial legisla tion says that local municipalities must be consulted before a branch can be closed that was in existence before the county library system took it over as was the case with all four of the above libraries. At this point however, since some of the libraries serve municipalities that straddle township boundaries, it isn't known which municipality has to be consulted. Journalist in S.
