Rossland run more than a bump and grind

They call it “The Tough 10K". Rossland's Golden City Grind is certainly not your average morning joy. It's hilly and it’s tough. But to in- creasing numbers of runners each year the grind is the challenge they look forward

- to.

This year they have an added treat in store. It's longer. The five-mile run of past years is now an official 10 kilometres (6'4 miles for the unconverted).

The Nooners are organiz- ing it. There are awards in six age categories for both men and ladies. T-shirts will be available to all finishers who want them (and when you see the great logo you

the Wearmouths settled in Castlegar, Judy went on down to the library to volunteer.

Here she beame more than casually interested in the functionings of a library. She took the Community Library Course by correspondence, and after writing 18 papers and taking three exams she was ready to call herself a librarian.

“It was a practical course,” she says, “which gives you all you need to know to run a small public library. It gives you all the practical skills.”

As soon as she finished the course, the libraries of Castlegar and Kinnaird were in the process of amalgam- ating. The Kinnaird librarian had resigned, and Judy was in the right place in the right time. “I just kind of plopped into the job. Ever since I was quite young I thought this

“I believe that free library service is everyone's right,” states Judy Wearmouth. Since 1977 she has been Castlegar’s head librarian, and has found it tough,

hallenging, at times di: inting, but mostly reward-

ing. 4

s In 1978 Judy, her husband Bernard and their three children came to Castlegar for six months. Bernard, a civil engineer had an appointment onthe B.C. Hydro Kootenay Canal Project. Those six .months have stretched into 10 years. “You know, sometimes these

short-term projects develop into long term things.” Prior to coming to Castlegar, Judy had worked briefly as an assistant in the Mica Creek Library and enjoyed it. To her it was a good way to get to know people itself. So as soon as

would be a lovely job. People are the rewarding thing about this work.”

Judy's days are busy. Despite budget cuts, which have seriously affected the operation, Judy and the other

are still ordering new though “now we

have to be more selective.” The library receives a number. of library “trade magazines,” professional journals which give in-depth reviews of all the new books. It gives them information on what books are likely to be popular or unpopular and why.

Choosing books is a very th h

money towards a specific book. “This has been very |. successful,” says Judy. “Each time we think of taking down the list, another person comes in and asks if they can sponsor a book. So far we've received over a $1,000.”.

The library offers many services, Not only can you check out a book, you can make use of the “paperback exchange.” When you've finished reading your paperback you merely take it to the library and exchange it for another one.

Judy would like to see the shut-in service expanded.

Sometimes a book may have excellent reviews and then go nowhere. And, a book which may have poor reviews may turn out to be the hottest item on the Castlegar shelves. Judy believes that the library must serve the needs and desires of the entire community and everyone's tastes differ.

I will defend a book which has a great review, but is not necessarily popular, and there are some that hit the best seller list, but don’t have a great review.” She continues, “We have always prided ourselves in having most of the current‘ best sellers.”

Most of their U.S. books are ordered through Baker and Taylor of Reno, Nevada who “are the largest book jobbers, and give us the best price.” When the boxes of new books arrive on the library's doorstep the first task is to check them against the invoice to make sure the correct titles have arrived.

‘Despite the budget cuts, new books:are being ordered’

Most of the American non-fiction come “pre-pro-

{eeased” which means that the clear plastic cover is ‘already in place, the appropriate card and pocket is

pasted into the front of the book, and the Dewey Decimal filing number is on the spine. Canadian books arrive un- processed and the librarians must cover and card them. All of their fiction arrives un-processed.

Because the downtown branch is the main branch of the Castlegar Library, it receives the government documents. So, if you are looking for certain statistics on say the logging industry, you'd go to the downtown branch. Other than that “the books are divided up as

“fairly as possible.”

Right now the most popular books in Castlegar are ‘anything written by Robert Ludlum, Jack Higgins, and John LeCarre. “Judith Krantz is also popular, also gothic

» historical novels have quite a following, as well as the

modern women’, ls.” And whenever a new James Michener book arrives “there are always about 20 names on the waiting list. .Hjs books are so vast.”

Many books, J learned, have two surges of popular- ity, one when the book is first released, and another when it is made intoa movie, This is quite common,” she says and “The Thornbirds” is a good example.

, The non-fictio1 ks, which do not stay on the helves for long are any books on diets, exercise, health, aerobic dance and weightlifting for women. “Cookbooks are always popular and’ gardening books seem to be popular in this area.”

‘What about the unpopular books? What are the

take books to people who can't make it down to the library on their own. Even a short-term shut-in can and should make use of this service, she states.

“The library should be used by everyone. Sometimes people think that they don’t want to bother the librarians; but they pay for this through their taxes, and have a right to make use of the library. I really believe this.”

Large print books and tapes are available for the seeing disabled. The Lions Club, the Sons of Norway and the University Women's Club each have donated reading lenses and cassette machines for seeing-digabled people to use on a semi-permanent basis.

The library also has a service for those of you who want a specific book that you cannot find. The Castlegar Library is in communication with the Open Shelf Library in Victoria, and can quickly locate a book that this library might not stock. i

“And if Open Shelf doesn't have it we can get it through a number of other contacts we have.” A selection of Russian, German and Portugese books is also available.

For children, the pre-school story hours have always been a success. Over radio CKQR a children’s story is heard every Sunday morning at 10:10 a.m., and when schoo} begins, Judy hopes to once again make the story time over Community TV, a regular feature.

This past summer dozens of children read their way through maps and charts with the help of a Canada Summer worker. If you happened to venture into the library during one of their summer sessions you will have noticed that the traditional library calm was replaced by the excited voices of children as they sat all over the floor working on their crafts and charting up their progress.

“Because we're a small library we can offer personal services,” continues Judy who adds that they know the reading preferences of so many of their patrons. “Sometimes we order a book knowing that certain people will love it.” ;

Every year during National Book Festival week, the library sponsors a contest, and brings in authors for special readings and workshops. Although hard work, these are always a highlight for Judy who gets to meet Canadian authors from all over the country.

Donations of books, she told me, are always ac- cepted. If they cannot be used on the shelves, they are packed up and sold at the yearly library used book sale.

Judy was born in York, England and even as a child she read zealously. “Books and music have always been my main hobbies,” she says. In 1970 the Wearmouths came to Canada. “My husband always wanted to come

here. He'd been in this area before and worked in Nelson.” She told me, laughing, that on their first date while they were students at Edinburgh

U he told her all about this area, and its inhabi-

people in Ci not readi T asked. I get disappointed,” she answered, “with the juvenile section. We get some wonderful juvenile non-fiction and they: don’t’ go out as much.

She-also:added, “The literature area is not widely

balance is important. We have to balance our st @entands against what a gdod collection should have for reference,”

Within Castlegar, the library is free, paid for in taxes. Outside city limits the fee is $20 for a family, and $16 for a single membership — “a small price to pay,” she says, “when you consider the price of books.”

Like many other service the

tants.

‘Because we are a-small library we can offer personal services’

Judy's fs i seating the modern women's authors like Carol Shields Margaret Drabble. “I like biographiés. I really like good writing.” In music she enjoys main fs ites now are the big choral works.” Besides

has hit the library hard. Space, Judy says with a smile, is

“really the biggest problem. Recently they have had to pick books off the shelves and box them up and take them to Kinnaird Hall and store them in locked cupboards. “It's really gone full circle. The library started out in Kinnaird Hall.”

The library no longer purchases multiple copies of books. This can make the waiting lists for new books many months long. “This would be a very fun job if it weren't for the problems of what do we do now? And where do we go from here?”

Despite their problems, they are learning to cope. Since February they have been featuring the “Sponsor a Book” campaign, where private citizens can donate

music and books, Judy also enjoys flowers and flower arranging. The Wearmouths oldest son, Paul, just graduated

" from UBC in engineering, and their daughter, Sara, is in

Grade 11 at SHSS. Their middle daughter, Susan, was killed in a car accident five years ago. “At that time we found out how many wonderful people there are here in Castl So many friends us at that time.” Currently Bernard is working on a B.C. coal project in the north.

Judy is a member of the Arts Council and has served on its Board of Directors for many years, but “this year Tm taking a =” She isalsoa ber of International.
