QODERICH SIGNAL -S'T'AR, -THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1974—PAGE to
More Canadian books available
More than $460,000 worth of
,books for local public libraries
were purchased through
Canadian agents in 17•3.
This figure represents about
85per cent of the total book
acquisition budget for all
,. libraries in the: Region 'of
.Waterloo, `Wellington, Perth
and'Flu,rplq�, Counties, and is
more than '' double the amount
bought, fpm Canadian agents
• four 'yearsago.
,This information was
released recently by Clinton
.Lawson, director of. the Mid-
western Regional Library
System. Midwestern, operates
as a • centralized' book pur-
chasing and processing centre
for the 14 public libraries in the
four areas,' and for 27 ad-,
ditional ,non -Midwestern
libraries.
"When the same books are
available' through both
Canadian and foreign vendors,
we t ink it's only right t� pur-
c'has through a Canadian ;
'agent, providing that the price
and service is comparable,
said Mr. Lawson.
Mr. Lawson' also noted that
the public l'ib'raries purchased
more .than ,400,000 volumes
through Midwestern in 1973,
nearly, double . the, 1970 figiire.
In 1973 Midwestern also ex-
panded its book - processing
operation to permit libraries
from Bruce ' County, Owen
Sound,, Hanover an.d Barrie to
purchase "p.rocessed books
through the Kitchener. centre. ;
In addition the libraries of
the Midwestern system
acquired ' approximately 100'
new l6mm films bringing the
total film collection in the Mid-
western . area to 2,000,, film .
"The overall aim of our work
in these areas is to establish a
library system to fit the needs
of 500,000 people -- the total
population 'of the° Midwestern
areal'," said Mr. Lawson.
Each major library in. the
Midwestern system has also
been, encouraged to- develop
special collections in certain
subject areas. Kitchener Public
Library, for example, is
building a .collection of books
and resource materials on
business, economics, ,
Christianity,,, and geneology;.
while Guelph is building collec-
tions in political science,
Bluebirds On increase
languages, domestic science
and African history, ,
Through an 'inter -library
loan plan co-ordinated by Mid-
western, libraries can share
.these resource collections and
other material fir th' benefit of„�
patrons throughout the Mid-
western area.,
•
Midwestern 'also, 9perates a`
rotating 'book plan through
which libraries ewhange light
fiction, . popular -history,
romance and "who done its",
Ito ensure a constant flow of
fresh material into public
libraries..
Foreign language 'collections
also received attention in 1973.
Special provincial grants were
made available to library
systems for the purchaseof
francophone collections, and
Midwestern received $5,000 for
this purpose. -
Subsequently, Midwestern
and the
Subsequently,
Ontario
Regional Library System in
Richmond Hill pooled their
grant resources in this area,
with Brampton Public Library
.also joining, the project:
,Over $12,500 of French
language , books were ordered

Morenestings found in
There was an attendance of
30 'at -the annual meeting of the
Bayfield Area Bluebird Society
held recently. ' ,
Philip 'Du Boulay outlined
the progress in bringing the
bluebirds back to 'the „ k ea.
There were no nestings in 1970
and in 1974 there were 39
nestings with 161 eggs and 82
K young fledged. Mr. Du Gouley
had visual, aids to acquaint the
group with the 1974 '.results;

ted 100 boxes in.Stanley town-
ship last year. Dan Wilson
working with . the Ausable-

Authority directed the. 'work
and arranged for the checking
of the boxes this' year.
With the • aid of a : grant
'provided under the New
Horizons program a group of
retirees last winter built 350
nesting boxes. The Bayfield
council provided space in the
Old ,Town 'Hall for the project.
Mr. Reg York was in charge of
the work. Plans are -under way
for building . more boxes this
fall and winter..
Nesting losses have been
heavy. The only two nestings in
Bayfield village were lost to
cats. Future boxes near homes
will be raised, -on metal stakes.

Squirrels and coons probably
can be blamed for the removal'
-of some young birds from nests.
A number of eggs proved infer-
tile. However the increase in
young birds flown is en-
courging.
Harvey MacDougal, chairing
the annual meeting, said he felt
they should make some, changes
in the placing of boxes for next
year. The plan is to concentrate
newboxes around this year's
successful nestings and. placing
more boxes on farms, especially
where there are young people
' who would be interested in
• aintaining and checking the
boxes.
Tourists and, visitors to the
area have found the 'bluebirds
of great. interest. Mr. Johnston,

boxes on ' his grounds. Five
