Hur: n County Council Hears Details
Of New Library Board Operations
By Shirley J. 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"
