rqr j This has been an exciting year of many changes in the Senior Library. A purge of out-dated and decrepit books has made room for new material in a variety of subjects; Literature, History, French, Sports, Science and others, with, where possible, an emphasis on Canadian material and on the achievements and writings of women. Several dictionaries have been acquired as well as the Encyclopedia of Human Behaviour. Mrs. E. Thomas gave a splendid gift of The Times Atlas of World History and A.L. Rowse’s three- volume The Annotated Shakespeare in honour of her daughters, Margaret and Barbara, for which we are very grateful. There was a paper-back drive in the Senior School resulting in a considerable amount of good light reading which has been enjoyed by many, from Grade nine to the Staff. It has also meant an influx of “young adult” material of particular benefit to the lower grades. A revolving bookrack, another new acquisition, makes the paper-backs more attractive and accesible to browsers. There have been other changes too in the Senior Library, particularly the two capacious and good-looking book cases that Jan put up for us. Looking as though they have always been there, they immediately illustrated that well-known variation of Parkinson’s Law, that books expand to fill the space allotted to them. It was uncanny how they filled up without apparently depleting the other shelves. Other changes include the addition of a magazine rack, the re-arranging of books and

sections, the up-dating of the card catalogue and the re-painting of the walls, this time in off-white. A strange new glitter has also been acquired from the extensive use of plastic protective book covers. All these changes, together with a marked increase in the circulation of books, give the library a much more lively atmosphere. With the appalling increase in the cost of books, it has become even more im- portant for everyone associated with the school to think in terms of helping to make the library up-to-date and attractive. We are profoundly grateful to the Mothers’ Guild for all their support, and look forward to the further enrichment of both the Senior and Junior libraries resulting from the funds raised by their Giant Garage Sale. With their help, and that of other friends of the school, we hope to build up and maintain a library that will truly reflect the calibre of the school. S. Tilson, Librarian The Junior School Library has been a busy place this year. Over the summer the library received a new coat of paint. A shelving system was in- troduced and coloured labels were added to brighten the room. Old books were mended, some new books were purchased and, as the year progressed, more books were added to the existing collection. Students attending the Hallowe’en party donated some sixty three new books, mainly novels. Some students donated good, used books as well as magazine subscriptions. One friend of Elmwood gave the library a thirty year collection of National Geographies. Some of the care of the library and books has been in the hands of volunteer library monitors who have faithfully donated their noon hours to the many varied tasks. Some classes kept the library decorated with mobiles and other pieces of artwork. An innovation was added during the winter term: a jigsaw puzzle of the map of Canada. This proved to be a very popular addition. In the Spring plant hangers, made by the Grades 5 and 6, and plants were added to give the room a homely touch. The total effect has been to make the library a more pleasant room for reading, research or just relaxing, and the students have responded favourably. H.C. Schmidt
