Walton library
closes Wednesday
The latest library to be hit by
Huron County's decision to save
money is the Walton library which
will close Wednesday.
Walton librarian Marg Taylor
said though the library hadn't been
really busy, many local residents
are disappointed about the closure.
"There are ones around that aren't
too happy," she said Monday. "A
lot of them feel like it's just another
part of the disintegration of the lit
tle guy."
In fact, upset library patrons
started a petition to fight against the
closure. About 100 names were on
the petition which was sent to the
County said Ms. Taylor.
The library had been open once a
week from 3-8 p.m. and gave resi
dents a choice of between 450 and
500 books.
Ms. Taylor believes the library
has been in town for over 70 years
because her mother remembers
using the library when she was a
young girl.
It was a Walton library long
before it became part of the Huron
County Library system, says Ms.
Taylor.
Because of this, McKillop Twp.
still has the right to comment on
the closure.
McKillop clerk, Marion McClure
said the library will be on the agen
da for council's next regular meet
ing on June 2.
Quebec. After picking up the
Seaforth students it was a 12 hour
drive. Upon arrival they met their
interface leaders then registered at
the elegant Chateau Frontenac.
After supper they went just outside
the walls of Old Quebec to the
Bank of Montreal, where all the
meetings, activities and fun were
held in the morning. Students did a
walking tour of Oakville, the high
end of Quebec and Labosville, the
lower end of Quebec. In the
afternoon they went to the Plains of
Abraham and re-enacted the battle
of the French (Montcalm) and
English (Wolfe). Hullett was the
French and Seaforth was the
English. They also went outside of
Quebec City to see a church called
St. Anne-de-Beaupre to see the
history of it. Then they left and
stopped at Montmorency Falls
which are higher than Niagara
Falls.
On Friday, they met their French
partners and played games and
activities. The last night there was a
dance with all of the schools in the
interface program. Saturday they
left Quebec City at 9:00 a.m., then
stopped in Montreal for lunch and
shopping.
