Library System; - ~ Accomplishments-Problems ‘The accomplishments of a new B.C, library system, and the problems encountered in getting referendum approval 'for that system in one regional district, were described for the ‘annual general meeting of the Kootenay Library Syatem Soci- ety in Creston recently, Speaking were Harry E. Newsom of Kamloops, director of the Cariboo Thompson Nicola Library Sysatem, and Roy Woods of Williams Lake, direc- tor of that system board. Mr. Newsom told of the achievements of the new sys- tem, which was established only 22 months ago, and Mr. Woods spoke of some of the difficulties encountered in gain- ing approval for the library ‘system referendum in the Cari- boo Regidnal District. That system was begun with the Thompson Nicola regional district,’ and: last November a referendum in the Cariboo regional district joined that area to the library system, Mr. Newsom said that providing information was a, top priority of a library system, and that to do this in the Cariboo Thompson Nicola area, a 1,500-book library outlet had been established in an isolated area 80 miles from the nearest post office. - Another service is to re- cord news broadcasts on cas- * sette tape, and mail them to an area that does not get good radio or TV reception, “Libraries are also the greatest adult education force known,” he said, He noted that this has proven true in the Kootenays, where the Bookmo- bile demonstration has re- corded that 64 per cent of the circulation of material is adult non-fiction, A library system “must be a catalyst in the community, a catalyst with feeling. Our ser- vices must’ be available to everyone, and they must be services that everyone will use,” he said. : The system makes use of audio-visual material, slide cas- sette presentations, community - cable television, and volunteer projects to take:the services into each community. 5 The secret of good service is a good back-up, he said? “It” can't be: donacwithout.-a: re- source centre organized accord- ing to needs and in great depth, anda headquarters which is the nerve centre and responsible for co-ordination. es Libraries should not exist on hand-outs, said Mr. Woods, who described the efforts of the Cariboo people to’ join the” library system, “A library syatem is the way to go,” he aald, When first proposed to the Cariboo regional district board for approval for referendum, the library system proposal was turned down by 22 vo‘es, with only two approving votes, It was later defeated at the regional district level by a 10-12 vote. Mr, Woods eventually de- elded to run for regional district office on a platform of a library system referendum, After many delays, the Cariboo re- gional district board gave unanimous approval for a vote, and the referendum received voter approval last November, In that referendum, three electroal 2ress turned dewn the proposal, one by. only eight votes, and the remainder came in with a large majority, he said, “I warn you against being lackadasica),” said Mr. Woods, “That is easier if you remember the values, inspiration, recrea- tion, political and educational aspects of libraries.” He concluded, “What you are being offered in the Koote- , nays is the best buy any of your communities is going to see ina long time.” In the Kootenays, both the Regional Districts. of Central Kootenay and East Kootenay have. given approval for ‘a referendum on the Kootenay Library System proposal.
