A vote of appreciation of the work done by the librarian and her assistant, Miss M. MacDonald, was heartily endorsed. In addition to all the routine work of the library, the two librarians have completed an inventory of both books and borrowers. As this was the first taken since 1938 it entailed a large amount of work but thi3 has all been done and an up-to-date record is now on hand During the war years the great turn-over of borrowers and their not-too-careful return of books constituted a major problem. However, the recent work of the librarians has now cleared up the situation and the board knows exactly what books and borrowers are active. The last monthly report for October shows that there are 1446 borrowers and that there are 7908 books in the library. In the last six months 131 new borrowers have been registered and 335 new books have been added. Of the new books, 211 have been purchased and 124 have been donated. The financial statement showed that regular repayment in-stalmenst have been made to the Civic Centre towards reimbursing the centre for the installation of fluorescent lighting. A matter that aroused much Interested and varied discussion was correspondence regarding the display provided by the Canadian Institute of International Affairs. This display will be available during the two weeks November 28 to December 12, and will be featured at the library. The institute is a non-political and unofficial organization aiming to keep Canadians in&rmed on the complexities of foreign relations. It has now 2300 members in 26 branches from Halifax to' Victoria. The members of the li brary board are unanimous la their realization of the worth of the organization and look for ward to a wide interest by citizens when the display will be featured in the city. In reply to a verbal request from the Prince Rupert Film Council that library facilities be provided for their film library, the board agreed to have the necessary accommodation made available.
