Since July 14, when Carolyn
Garda resigned as Branch Supervi-
sor 'And moved to Woodstock, the
Wingham .Branch Library has been
operating without a supervisor.
Part-time staff, Debbie Mowbray,
Pat Bringham, Karen Weima and
Heather Morton have been busy
keeping the doors open over the
summer.
Starting Tuesday, Aug. 22, Paula
Mackie will be the Branch Supervi-
sor in charge of the Wingham
Branch Library.
Last year, a Book Club for adults
was started at the Library with 12
people meeting one Thursday
evening per month to discuss a
book.
Some of the books read were,
"The Tiger in the Tiger Pit" by
Janette Turner Hospital, "The
Telling of Lies" by Timothy Findley,
and ' In the Skin of the Lion" by
Michael Ondaatje.
Thomas Hardy's, "The Mayor of
Casterbridge" will be discussed on
Sept. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
Other books planned for this fall
include "Shorelines" by Roy Mac-
Gregor, "Not Without My Daugh-
ter" by Betty Mahmoody, "Obasan"
by Joy Kogawa and "Eminent Vic-
torians" by Lytton Strachey.
The Huron County Library spon-
sors Book Clubs in branch libraries
by purchasing several paperback
copies of each book and rotating
them from branch to branch.
Book discussion groups usually
meet once a month to informally
discuss the chosen book. If enough
people are interested, an afternoon
book club will also be formed at the
Wingham Branch Library. People
interested in joining either an after-
noon or evening book club should
contact the Wingham Branch
Library

The summer has passed quickly
and I find myself preparing for my
last week of work here at the centre.
Last week, Cathy Ritsema, our
seoretary/bookkeeper, showed us'
how to make "rag wreaths" for our
craft and bake sale in November.
On Aug. 17 we ventured to Blyth
to see our last play of the season.
Everyone enjoyed the wit of 'Perils
of Persophone":
This week I have planned enter-
tainment afternoons. On Tuesday,
Joy Allen from the Stratford Tai Chi
Association will be demonstrating
Tai Chi exercises tb aur'seniors:"
Speed limit
in Belgrave
reduced
After its Aug. 15 meeting, Morris
township voted in favour of lower-
ing the speed limit at Parker Drive
in Belgrave.
The 60 km limit will be extended
100 metres to the south.
Because of the recent and future
subdivision developments, Morris
felt that lowering the speed limit
would help to ensure the safety of
the residents and their families.
This decision concurred with the
resolutions of the Ministry of Trans-
portation and East Wawanosh
Township.
