The office will still be open and operational until this date if any employers or students would like assistance. This summer experimental branch offices were opened in Mount Forest and Wingham on a weekly basis. The response from the surrounding communities was positive and it is the hope of this year's CEC-S staff that the offices will be open again next year. Even though more full-time and part-time employment would have been welcome,says the employ ment centre, there was still a steady number of incoming orders for odd jobs and short term work. Students interested in filling time between job hunting or part-time work, could easily find themselves doing a variety of work such as painting, moving, babysitting, gardening and grass cutting. Overall, the year was a challenge for job-seeking students who had to be very flexible and creative in order to find employment. BRUSSELS Walton library reopens The Walton branch of the Huron County Public Library has reopened, as of Wednesday, July 29, but its hours have been short ened. Huron County Councillors adopt ed a Library Board recommenda tion March 5 to close seven county library branches in order to trim budget costs for 1992. The Walton library was closed at the end of May as part of this decision to reduce expenditures. Librarian Marg Taylor says that part of the reason the Walton library has reopened is because McKillop township council refused permission, required under the Pub lic Libraries Acts, and voted against the closure. Local public opinion and the Walton Women's Institute were also a strong force in the library's reopening, Ms. Taylor revealed. In order to cut costs, the library's hours have been shortened to two hours a week instead of the previ ous five hours. Ms. Taylor says she hasn't heard any reaction yet to the shortened hours. The Walton library, which is now open every Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., is located at the Walton Community Park.
