Constructed in 1910, the centre for bookworms features original furniture, original shelving. original time - dulled varnished woodwork and even a few original books. Filling in for librarian Susan Nichol who has been on a four month leave of absence, Claire Powers says, "the library deserves a change.•' The library requires updating to provide functionalism. "All it needs is some physical changes." Entering the library, a visitor is greeted by an expanse of woodwork. A feature is several archways and wood pillars, creating an open atmosphere, but separating sections of the library. The village, through its council, has applied for a Neighbourhood Improvement Program (NIP) grant. The library has been included in the grant. If approved, the grant will match village expenditure, dollar for dollar. A children's section should be -recreated to make the library more inviting to young people said Claire. One improvement would be the installation of carpet which the kids can sit on and use for playing games. Most of the popular children's books grace the shelves. The Brussels public school has a good library, so more adults than children make use of the public library. "We are attempting to get more kids to come to their library." Recently, weekly story time sessions were held for pre-schoolers. Story time will be held again in late fall or winter. A good junior non-fiction section and reference books are available for students. And of course. The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew novels line the shelves. Readers are making a switch from western novels to classic material says Claire. "There is a renewed interest in World War 11 books and there has always been interest in detective and mystery novels." A member of the midwestern Ontario library system, the Brussels library has been involved in a rotation system vuhere books from Huron county libraries are rotated every three months. Approximately 400 to 500 books are rotated through Brussels. A library with 5,000 books in circulation. Claire says use of the library has increased to the point where hours of operation were extended to four days a week. "Circulation (books borrowed) during the month of April was 1.000 books." Besides books and latest editions of area weekly newspapers. 100's of films are available through the National Film Board. 'Topics range from kite construction, ghosts, teenage suicides to historical films. "Film rental prices are very good, but Lneed 10 days notice when ordering a film. "1 hope I always have something for everyone", says Claire. "The future of the library is for bigger and better things." THE BRUSSELS LIBRARY offers 5,000 books to area bookworms. Use of the library has increased as the hours of operation have been extended. If approved, a grant will provide funding to upgrade the interior. Reading a book with her mother Joyce, is Janice Jacklin.
