TORONTO - Huron County Pub- lic Library will receive an $11,000 grant to aid in the renovation of a new facility for the Blyth Branch Library as part of the government's anti -recession program, Ontario Minister of Culture and Communi- cations Rosario Marchese an- nounced last week. Through the Ministry's anti - recession program, $3.8 million will be spent on the construction of 11 new library facilities and on two renovation projects at existing li- braries. This funding is part of the Mini- stry's $15.5 million in grants being devoted to special projects through- out Ontario and is being funded un- der the $700 -million anti -recession package announced by Treasurer Floyd Laughren in December to al- leviate some hardships of the reces- sion through short-term job crea- tion. Priority is being given to communities and regions experienc- ing serious economic problems. "Ontario's public libraries play an integral role in the cultural and so- cial life of the communities they serve," said Marchese. "I am pleased that this anti -recession program will provide the Blyth community with a facility which can better handle the needs of this growing community. It is also significant to note that even during these de- pressed economical times, cultural activities are still creating jobs." This grant will assist with the renovations necessary to upgrade the first floor of the Blyth Memori- al Community Hall's north wing, including the installation of floor- ing, a heating/cooling system, stor- age room, wheelchair entry ramp and wheelchair accessible wash- room; and the removal of some ex- isting walls. Enhanced library services will in- clude an enlarged book collection and the introduction of non -print materials such as books on tape, videos, and audio cassettes.

Every year, 3 out of 10 Canadian students drop out before finishing high school... And they realize all too soon that it isn't as easy as they thought. The fact is, over the next few Years, the majority of new jobs will require a high school education as a minimum. Without it, young people simply won't have the choices, the opportunities or freedom they're looking for. When 30% drop out...over 100,000 students a year...it affects everyone — parents, educators, employers, Canadian society as a whole.
