The Lucknow .Public Lib-
rary is a busy place.
Some 1,200 books pass
through the library on the
Bruce County Library book
exchanges, so there's always
a new book on the shelf you
haven't read. There have
been magic shovys, lectures
on exotic plants, slide shows
on our native Indian culture,
a visiling museumobile and
Pantomime theatre.
- These programs are spon-
sored by the Georgian Bay.
Regional Library System as
part of their Outreach Ont.
ario program funded by the
Ministry of Recreation and.
Culture.It's opened the
doors of the' library to the
people of the community.
The library. is place where
you go• to do things and see
things happen, rather than
just browse through books on
•
shelves..
Pre-schoolers go to the
• library every Monday after-
noon to read stories and play
games and listen to, music.
School children come down
' during,' class time to see a
• pantomime artist perform.
Adults go. to a lecture on how
to grow exotic. plants.
Librarian Lorna • Guay is
excited about the new pro..
grams initiated at the library
`• in the past year and she is
looking ferWard to the up-
co'rning events. The Royal
• Botanical Garden in Burling-
ton will present 'a lecture .on
• drying.. plant material in
• April, which will be 'followed
in the fall by 'a demonstration
on arranging flowers dried in
the spring.
Lorna has some plans of
her own for our local library.
She started the pre-school-
er story hour when between
eight and .ten pre-schoolers
come for an hour of stories,
games ans,1 music.
She brings her.lpock Par-
ent sign with her to work and
it is on display in the front
window of the library. A
librarian is not a stuffy lady
who buries herself in beoks.
Sht is actively involved in
her work and her.community.
Lorna hopes to complete a
major project; the completion
of the cataloguing of the book
collection willed to the Luck -
now library by Samuel. Mac-
Donald of Kinloss. She wants
them catalogued because
some have gone missing and
she wants them in active use
in the library. They are to
read not put on .the shelf to
look at.
• Then there are the books:
which have been piled in the
• back room, since the Mech-
anics Institute operated the
library before 1910:
Some are valuable. says
•Lorna and must be kept.
Some are collector's items.
... But sonieone twlth a great
.deal ef knowledge about the
value of old books .will:have
to sort through them to -
decide which will be kept and
which will be sold.
There is a set of three
books on paintings contain-
ing prints of the paintings
and captions .todescribe
, them. Professor'A: D. Logan
•of Kinloss has premixed te
take the: books' and Compile
, one good book to be retrieved
'front the sad mess of the
three, He plans to make it his
winter project next year.
One of the books was
published in 1912 and anoth-
er in 1914.
Lorna wants the people of
Lucknow and the surround-
• ing area to know that the
library is a place where
things are happening. There
is romance, adventure, myst-
ery and excitement in the -
pages of the books on the
• shelves, but there are also
things to see and do at the
library because of the pro-
grams offered there.
Drop in to the local library.
You, may be surprised at
what you find.
