Papier mziche animals, including a kangaroo complete with baby in its pouch, sit jauntily on tables and shelves, and mobiles of fish hang from the windows.

28 LIBRARY IIEPUIIT THE LIBRARY EXECUTIVE 1958-59 Chief Librarian-SHIRLEY DoNALDsoN Assistant Librarians: Sara Allan Pamela MacCharles Jacqueline Duncan Lori McDougall Margaret Kosinski Heather Miller Library Committee: Wendy Bracken Lynn Funnell Carol Cranston Nancy Webb Margaret Fisher Lindsay Wiley Senior Library The highlight of the Fall Term was Young Canada's Book Week. Special posters, displays, and a Library Quiz stimulated interest in all sections of the Library. The winners of the Quiz were Valerie Saul in the Senior Section, and Suzanne Evans in the junior. With the accession of nearly one hundred new books this year, the shelvesdas well as the Execuf tive-have been under considerable stress and strain. The accessions were made chiefly in the History and Geography sections. Two Science film strips have also been catalogued. The Executive has worked hard and capably to keep circulation running efficiently. They have painted posters, written book reviews, and even learned to repair damaged books. Our most recent effort was the spraying of the new School Hymn Books with a preservative coating of plastic. The Assistant Librarians especially should be commended for the setting and marking of the Library Quizwa Herculean task! Gifts to the School Balmoral Hall once again welcomes this opporf tunity of extending thanks for the many gifts received this past school year and for contributions to the Prize and Scholarship Fund and the Bursary Fund. We acknowledge gratefully a portable stereophonic record player for the Junior Library, and a television set for the Red House recreation room, both gifts of the Mothers' Auxiliary, a set of prints of famous paintings, curtains for the Red House recreation room. The School is grateful not only for these material gifts which are widely enjoyed, but also for the interest and help of parents and friends in so many of Our activities this year. Junior Library As in the Senior Library, Young Canada's Book Week was a busy one. Attention was focused on Fairy Tales, Legends and Myths, bringing the wellfstocked 398 section into prominence. The girls produced many illustrations and book reports as the result of detailed investigation. A series of maps and posters on Hans Christian Andersen, given by Mrs. H. H. G. Moody, made a colourful display. Dramatic presentations of Aladdin by Grade Six and 'iMother Goose Forgetsn by Grade Two, ended an active week. During the Easter Term there was a French Week, with a quiz on the titles of our French Books. jean Riley of Grade Four was the winner. We should like to thank the Mothers' Auxiliary for the fine portable stereophonic record player which they have presented to the Library. This will also be available for use in the Senior School. In addition, the mothers have made a collection of pictures and clippings for the file in the Junior Library which are being extremely useful. Again this year the Senior Library Executive has helped the junior Library in many ways. We are grateful for the numbers of books given to both Libraries during the year. This generosity coupled with the help and interest of the mothers and so many other people, has helped to make 1958359 a very successful year. SHIRLEY DONALDSON, Chief Librarian Dear Sir :- Your name has been selected, You forthwith will be sent A sample copy, yes, for free, Of Campbell's Brand New History, A book without a precedent! Cn one condition only We make this generous offer: Within the next six months you must Buy two more books we profferf' The letter does not end here, no, But I have read enough. And now I see a postman's life Must sure be pretty tough: Through snow and sleet and gloom of night Struggles the poor man, Delivering a message which I file in the garbage can.
