196 MARCH SPHCIAL SEMION, 19M g. That the resolution from County od Hnrom rr, asking the Pm vincial Gov't to contribute a portion to the cost ad indigent patients, be concurred in. All of which is respectfully submitted. (Signed) JOHN GZOlgGE, Cbairesan. Report of the Essex County Library Co-Operative Yard 22, 1965. Considerable attention has centred on work with the libraries in the County since the beginning of the year. We are happy to report that the official opening of the Belle River Library was held non Febrn• ary 12th and Stoney Point Library will celebrate its official opening a Friday, March 25th. Through -the support of the Townships of Saad- wich East, Sandwich South and Sandwich West, Roseland Library hoe been moved to new quarters on Cabana Road and the resulting pub& city and better location have indicated an increased membership MA circulation at Roseland Library. In considering the Roseland Library situation we became aware of the ever increasing population in the Sandwich West and FAA areas which are too far from Roseland Library to %se iL To date, these people have used the Windsor libraries by paying a am- member fee but it is felt that they live in the County, pay their taxes to the County and that the County Library should assunne full responsibility for providing adequate library service. Consideration b being given to the possibility of setting up deposit stations or ad organizing hoab. mobile service in these areas until more permanent library entlab may be developed. Our biggest difficulty is the demand for books and the fact that we do not have adequate stock to meet ow present needs. We are allocating as much money as possible to the p w cbsse of books this year, ss we have done in the past, but tha demand for more library service throughout the Couab for a Leeds our supply of books.
