School libraries in Huron County
are joining the computer revolution.
Huron Centennial, the largest elemen-
tary school in the system, has been
chosen to lead the way. Debbie Cun-
ningham, Auburn, and Peggy Van
Wonderen, Varna, were hired under
the provincial ministry of skills
development's Experience '86 pro-
gram to catalogue the more than 6,000
books in the Brucefield School's
library using software developed for
a Library Access System by the
University of Toronto.
Author, publisher, title, subject
matter and other pertinent informa-
tion about each book is entered on a
disk. When the access system is in
place, a student wanting to do an
essay on cats, for example, will go the
the school computer, tap out his re-
quest, and in a few minutes receive
a print-out of every book in that
library containing any material on
that particular subject.
Arnold Mathers, superintendent of
programs tor the Huron Board, said
a ministry of education library
automation task fore is presently
studying a number of systems, and a
decision on the best system for Huron
County will be made later this year.
Within five years all elementary and
secondary school libraries in toe
county should -be automated.
The University of Toronto system
is already in use by schools in Toron-
to, and Windsor so well as York, Well-
ington and Waterloo counties.

Mathers wants to make sure that
whatever system is chosen for Huron
will be compatible with other
systems, so that Huron students will
have access not only to their own
libraries, but to all other automated
school libraries is Ontario.
Mathers said one reason for swit-
ching to the new system is to save the
time now needed to keep card files up
to date. All new books purchased by
the schools are accompanied by in-
voices listing all the information re-
quired to format computer disks.
Once the Huron Centennial project
is completed, other schools will copy
the information on all books common
to both libraries, and add in data on
those exclusive to their own libraries.
The initial cataloguing is a slow
process, according to Debbie.DDShe has

The 25th of August will be a special
day here at the Rest Home, because
one of our residents will be
celebrating her 101st birthday, you
should hear her talking about her
past,, especially her younger years.
This past week, Stephen Molnar
started to pick his first ripe tomatoes
which are being enjoyed very much
be the residents.
The Home Auxiliary held their
regular' monthly meeting on Tuesday
evening, beginning with a program
for the residents, consisting of a
variety of different programs like
piano solo by Roxanne Martin and
Jason Erb. Poems were read by Aux-
iliary members and Mrs. Harriett
Vanderburgt sang two songs. Follow-
ing the program, refreshments and a
social time were enjoyed.
If you haven't bought a ticket on
that beautiful quilt the Home Aux-
iliary has on display at the Rest
Home, which will be drawn at Bean
Festival, there is still time to obtain
one. Tickets are on sale at the Rest
Home tuck shop or office.
The residents are really enjoying
the Tuesday morning exercise pro-
gram, because of the large number
who attend it.
Mrs. Gladys Martin kept a number
of residents busy on Wednesday, bak-
ing cookies. I always like the time
when they let me taste one of their
finished products.
The Home choir is still very eager
on Thursday morning practicing their
favorite songs or hymns under the
direction of Cathy Shantz. •
On Friday evening bingo was
played with a full house present,
followed by refreshments. Taped
music was also played, enjoyed by all

been working in the Huron Centennial
library since May, sorting out worn
and out -dated books, and putting the
rest on computer. The pyschology
grad, who begins teacher training at
Althouse College this September, is
also filing away in her own mind some
titles she intends to use in a future
classroom.
Debbie noted that since she attend-
ed school many new titles have been
added to school libraries to help
children adjust to situations. She cited
Page 5A
as two examples "My Mommy Got
Fired Today", and "Why 1 am
Adopted."
Peggy, who begins her first year m
business administration at Wilfrid
Laurier this fall, said the Huron
Centennial project had made her very
aware of how much work goes into a
library. She noticed that though the
science texts were newer than the
ones she recalled from public school,
old favourites like the Nancy Drew
series are still around.
AUTOMATING THE LIBRARY — Debbie Cunningham (left) and Peggy
Van Wonderen were hired under the ministry of skills development's
Experience '86 program to catalogue onto computer disks all the
