Keller With only four municipalities within the boundaries of Huron County still opposed to the new county library service, Reeve Duff Thompson, Clinton, chair- man of the Huron Library Board, made the following rec- ommendation at the January session of county council: "That the department of ed- ucation be requested to consid- er amending the present legis- lation relative to the establish- ment of county libraries in such a manner that when a by-law has been passed by county coun- ciI establishing a county library system, then all member muni- cipalities of the county should become automatically part of the said system." Townships of Hay, Hullett, East Wawanosh and Morris still absent themselves from the system, and in order to be in- cluded in the service for 1967 would have to join by February 15. 1967. Goderich, a former hold-out, made application at the begin- ning of the session to become an integral part of the County Library System. Reeve Thompson, speaking to the report, said problems arise where two municipalities come together for library purposes, and only one of the two is a member of the County Library System. James Hayter, reeve of Stephen, drew attention to a situation in Dashwood where the village is split in two by the boundary between Hay and Stephen. Hayter asked if Hay residents could remain on the library board when Hay Town- ship was not a county library member. He was told that particular problem had not been solved, but it was agreed that Hay Township residents, as well as residents in any other non- member municipality, would have to pay for the use of the library facilities in a member municipality. Those living in a member municipality are en- titled to free library service. Elgin Thompson, Tuckersmith. reeve, learned that any money presently held by the former library boards could be either turned back to the municipality or given to the County Library Board who would purchase books for that municipality's library. It is only when the County Library Board is the purchasing agent that full grants can be received. Proctor suggested that each library be sent a budget report guideline to facilitate persons unfamiliar with the preparation of financial statements. A qualified county librarian must be engaged, council was reminded. Concluded Duff Thompson, "A tremendous amount of work is necessary to evolve from the Huron County Library Board to the County Library Service" MEETING OF ONTARIO FARMERS' UNION AT Zurich Community Centre Saturday, January 28 At 1:30 p.m. SPEAKER: ter Miller, Ont.
