Cou.nty plans to close two branch Ijbr Branch 'libraries in Dungannon and Molesworth, both with only .a handful of remaining regular users, have been set for closure by the Huron County Library Board. Circulation at both branches has declined dramatically and super- visors at the two locations are past retirement, county council members learned recently. However, the libraries cannot be closed without the consent of West Wawanosh and Grey municipal councils, which have yet to respond. "I guess the handwriting is on the wall, but we'll maybe stall it for a month or two," Grey Reeve Leona Armstrong said Monday. A library board recommendation to close both branches as soon as the local townships give the approval under the Public Libraries Act, was deferred at Mrs. Armstro request at last Wednesday's co council session, Mrs, Armstrong said she wanted time to compile comparative statis- tics about circulation trends at similar: -sized facilities throughout the county. The proposal to close the two branches would reduce the number of libraries in the county to 26.

ON 192 -10th St.,. 4-{37, 1 : HTFNG CENTRE Ms. Ross said the board agreed that residents near the two libraries set for closure regularly travel to either Goderich, Lucknow or Wingham for shopping and most other services and that using libraries in larger centres would not be inconvenient, Instead of one day per week, larger libraries, such as Goderich, are open six days each week and of- fer better service, Ms, Ross added. "If I were on the library board, I'd have voted the same way," agreed Mrs. Armstrong, adding the $40 per resident in the annual library budget is "a fairly significant cash outlay". Ms. Ross said she could not say if the board's plan to close Dungannon and Molesworth branches is the beginning of a trewid. "I have no idea what the board would be likely to decide on any others." r By, ,cor nnparison, it cost the cothty y 66 cents and 38 cents respectivelyfor banks taken from the Goderich and Bayfield librnss Morris issues building permits Morris Township Council granted several building permits and one demolition permit at the first regular May meeting held recently.
