squeeze hurts small libraries
BY HENRY HESS
The Huron County library system is being
caught in the middle of a funding squeeze
between the province and the municipalities,
making it hard to keep up the libraries in
some of the smaller centres.
The •report of the library board to county
council last Thursday noted there has been a
problem with lack of heat and with the
.County roads
(Continued from Page 2)
He could have told the county the bridge is
in bad shape, he commented, and he would
have been. glad to do it for a lot less thin
$10,000.
"If you'll fund 80 per cent of the cost I'll
be glad to take your word," Mr. Dempsey
responded. He explained the N 'I'C requires
an engineering study to qua,ify a project for
subsidy.
ceiling falling in at the Gerrie Library, and
that consequently the board is looking for
other accommodation there.
The board has also been having problems
with the building at Walton as well as one or
two others, and last month it reported that if
branches are not properly maintained, it
may become necessary for the library board
to suspend services in certain cases to
protect the large investment the library has,
in books and equipment.
In an interview last week County Librarian
Bill Partridge said facilities have been .4 5
bugbear--sort of a. perennial issue because
libraries have been let go. But he added he
isn't blaming the municipalities for the
problems.
He said he thinks the municipalities are
trying their best, but their hands are tied too
by the lack of any major provincial capital.
grant program for libraries.
Most arenas goegrants through Wintario,
he noted, and libraries got into some of
them, but not many.
Also a freeze on funding by the provJnoiai
government is dumping, an ever larger share
of the cost of operating the library system
onto the local gomninents.
A't' one time about half the funding for the
library system dame from the province, he
reported, but a freeze on funding at the 1977
level has reduced this to about one third of
the total today.
Public library services are really
supporied:by the municipality." he said. •
He noted that the rental 'fee of $2.00 per
square foot per year Which the library board
pays for facilities is really only a token
amount and the burden of providing space in
Most cases falls on the municipalities.
At the same time he, pointed out that a
third of the people in the county have library
cards and use them, so the. service provided
is a major and not a Minor one,
Total book circulation in the Huron System,
waS 386,253 last year, an increase of nearly
20,000 over 1978, he reported. The biggest
increases were at Heiman (41 per cent)' and
Wingham (13 'per cent),
He said the circulation figure .° an 4'
enviable one and he has been asked by other
county librarians why Huron COunty's'
circulation is so high. He attributed" the
success partly to the many outlets the library
has, even, in small centres.
In his, report to council Mr. Partiridge
noted the library's 1979 budget of $449,799 '
amounts to only $8.05 per capita. Salaries,, at -
$200,234, accounted for 46 per' cent of the
budget, with books next at $112,500. for 25
per cent. The remainder is, divided among
rents, benefits, miscellaneous costs, proces-
sing and equipment.
