(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) To move library section BY SHARON DIETZ The Huron County Library .board will be looking into moving the children's section of the Seaforth Library to the lower floor of the library building because the upper floor has become crowded with both adult and children's sections on the same floor. At present St. James Separate School has classes using the library for book exchanges because the school does not have a library. On alternate weeks, two classes from the school are permitted to go to the library to exchange book - ds. This program and the library's other children's programs make it awk- ward to have the children's section on the same floor as the adult section. - The Seaforthco- operative Nursery S;ctool is presently using the library's lower floor four mornings and two af- ternoons each week however, and if the library takes over the lower floor, .the nursery school would have to find a new home. The co-operative nursery has been operating from the library since October, 1977.• There are 48 children registered in the nursery school program which has classes Tuesday and Thursday afternoons as well as Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings.
