To Increase Library Aid
Higher grants. for county librar-
ies are be}ng sought by the Huron
County Library Co -Operative, it
was revealed Tuesday when a
delegation from the county visit-
ed Toronto and placed claims be-
fore Ontario Ontario Kducation Minister
John Robarts. ` He promised • to
consider the matter.
Since -1947 Huron County has
raised its grant from $4,000 to
$10,500, while the provincial con-
tribution towards maintenance of
the libraries has remained at
$5,100 in that period.
Spokesmen for the Huron group
were Warden John Durnin and
Mrs. G. Eckmeir librarian. Chas.
MacNaughton (th'P Huron) and
John Hanna ('MPP Huron -Bruce)
accompanied the delegation.
The Huron Council brief follows:
In 1947, the Provincial Govern-
ment passed a revision of the Lib-
rary Act which permitted the De-
partment of Education' 'to offer
grants to County Libraries on the
basis of dollar for dollar to a maxi-
mum of $4,000.00, plus a grant of
$1,000.00 towards the salary of a
qualified librarian and $100.00 • to-
wards the cost of book purchases.
In other words, it was possible
for each County Library Co-opera-
tive to become eligible for a maxi-
mum grant of $5,100.00.
", This- progressive step was re-
cognized by the Huron County
Council which immediately increas-
ed their grant to 4 the° maximum'
$4,000.00. Since that date the bur-
den of financing the great increase
in demand for library service has
had to be met by 'the Copnty Coun-
cil alone.
It iS impossible to measure the
effects of library ,service in any
area, but there is no doubt about
the „demand for increased service.
To illustrate the situation in Huron

During the 12 years mentioned
above, the increase in cost of op-
eration has been tremendods. For
instance a book worth $2.50 in 1947
is $3.95 today. The cost••of all sup-
plies, mending materials, rebind-
ing salaries to meet rising cost
of living, maintenance and gener-
al operation have all risen propor-
tionately. Only the, grants • from
the Department of Education have
remained fixed at the. 1947 level.
'This has thrown a great strain on
the people of the county, as the
County Council has been the only
source of increased funds.
The future needs as we now see
them are great indeed. Note these
following points: •
1. There are still 49 school rooms
without library service at all, and
there are several places needing
adult service.
2. The increased work has been
a great strain on the staff and two
more employees are badly needed
-to cover the work adequately. It
is necessary to make salary sche-
dules attractive enough to secure
qualified personnel and to keep
them.
3. A second bookmobile is needed
to do school work alone. The pre-
sent vehicle is five years old and
will need to be replaced.
4. Increased --demand for service
is amazing. We need to buy heav-
ily -of sturdy .prebound books for
schools and in quantity of the best
books for libraries.
• 5. The time and expense consum-
ed in billing and collecting fees
from 270 outlets is considerable.
This- is something we hope to get
away from entirely. It is outdat-
ed: Continuing education—such as
library service gives—should be as
freely available to everyone as our
schools. A "County Public Lib-
rary" supported by tax from the
county and with adequate -provin-
cial help is our aim.
We feel that the County of Hur-
on has done a great deal to bring
library service—and all- that it
means—to its residents. It has
been gladly"done. It is apparent
to us that the time is long overdue
when assistance of a more realis-
tic nature is..needed. This has been
done in all other areas of public
service and indeed in all other
branches of the Department of Ed-
ucation. In our opinion funds from
the Province' of Ontario for library
service in rural areas has been
sadly neglected.
The need for additional funds is
not only apparent—it is an abso-
lute necessity if 'this branch of the
service is to continue to fulfill the
role for which it is created.
We suggest that additional funds
be made available by the Province
of Ontario to the Department of
Education for the alleviation of
the desperate need in the county
libraries of this province. This
