WWI that today makes the
lick of a switch. the push of at
tton and the plugging in a

library work in the twentieth
century as stveching

many years ago.
At the headquarters of the
Midwestern Regional Library
System. Kitchener, for
example, more than $20,000 is
spent annually on 16 mm

purchased and distributed to
participating libraries in the
Region ef Waterloo, and in
Perth. Huron and Wellington
Counties.
Established in 1968 to
coordinate public library
services in this area. Mid-
western selects the films
from patalogues provided by
the National Film Board,
International Telefilm
Enterprises. the British
Broadcasting Corporation,
Educational Media Inc.. and
many other national and
international outlets.
• "We work with a com-
mittee of staff from several
libraries to select an average
of three MI -length 16 mm
films - or film series - a
month." said Peter Kienivz.
• Midwestern's coordinator of
audio-visual services.
Recent acquisitions, for
sample, include the films;
jflow to Say 'Noto a Rapist
and Survive": the "Howie
Meeker Hockey Series" ;
"Birth Control; Five
Effective Methods"; and a
wide range of other titles.
Several libraries such as
Stratford Public Library and
the Huron County Library
System offer popular courses
to patrons on the proper care
and handling of films,
equipment maintenance, film
cleaning and loading and
other techniques.
Emphatically, however,
Midwestern isn't interested in
putting the book business out
of business.
"Books will always be the
pivot of any library service,"
• said Peter Kienitz, "or
certainly in the foreseeable
• future, But libraries need to
keep pace with all aspects of
gathering and providing
infermation - and films are
One Way of doing this."
Similarly, about 100 fiction
• and non-fiction works have
been handled by Midwestern'

'Talking Books" can be
played on standard cassette
recorders with a listening

depending upon the length et
the book.
• Midwestern introduced
Talking Books into pahlie
•libraries in early September
197S, although Kitchener
Public Library already had
its own comprehensive
collection.
"We began with about 70
titles,- said Peter Kienitz.
but •demand has been so
great that we've placed a
standing order with CNIB to
buy every now book they
produce,"
In fact Midwestern is also
looking for other outlets to
keep pace with demand.
Some tapes, for example. are
being purchased from The
Cassette Book Shop. Elmira.
As WOI. Midwestern
recently purchased
duplicating equipment that
will be used to reproduce
copies of the more popular
works on demand.
Talking Books are
distributed to libraries, with
Midwestern acting as a
clearing house for repairs,
interlibrary transportation of
tapes and new acquisitions.
Each costing about $12.
Talking Books are available
free in most libraries on
provision of a doctor's cer-
tificate stating that a
borrower is unable to read
regular works for whatever
reason; borrowing time is
anywhere up to three months,
Midwestern has also pur-
chased several playback
units for the books which are
•also distributed to libraries.

Purchased by Midwestern
from the Ontario Bducational
Communications Authority,
the video tapes cover many
subjects -• travelogues. home
repair. Indian legends and
folklore. and the education et
handicapped children as well
as several tapes In the
German language which are
of particular relevance for
this area.
Designed to give patroas,
another information
dimension to use . when
needed. the program was
introduced on a trial basis
last summer and, if suc-
cessful, will expand to other
libraries.
Midwestern again is
responsible for watching out
for available material,
purchasing it whore
necessary, monitoring tape
da mage cleaning and
replacement,
Video tape programming
doesn't stop there, however,
Midwestern recently
acquired the excellent
"Youth in Trouble" series
from the Public Television
• Library, Was.hington, D.C.,
that it is making available to
libraries on a trial basis to
show to local patrons.
The series is also being
promoted through schools.
churches, daycare centres,
hospitals, service
organizations and mental
health clinics.
"Series like this can be
very valuable as part of a
library's way of initiating
rather than providing in-
formation," • said Peter

Already Midwestern has
arranged a video workshop
(Or libraries in late November
conducted by Paul Avon,
OECA, and recently coot.-
dinated a National Film
Board -sponsored seminar on
the use of animation in films.
• Midwestern also looks to
the future, New equipment
and audio-visual techniques
are studied and information
passed on to libraries. Film
and video tape catalogues are
and revised con-
stantly. Expansion of existing
programs is planned, •
"Midwestern's job is to
help all. public libtaries, no
matter; • what their size,
provide' a high standard of
service to patrons, and audio-
visual services are one aspect
of that • work," said Peter
Kienitz.
