The Ottawa Journal The Third Page By JANE BECKER of-The Journal Only about 25 per cent of Canada's libraries have enough books and trained staff, and stay open- long enough hours to reach even minimum standards say members of the Canadian Library Association. Atv its national convention this week" the CLA is. setting (up, committees to overhaul ex- luting standards, possibly in time to be voted on by the membership four or five years Irom now. THINK 'BIG' But the" librarians admit they have a long way to go.

regional and county libraries serve about 1,300, 000 people, with only one book for every three people," Miss Louise Schryver, president ol the Ontario" Library Association told the LA OLA opening session at the Chateau Laurier Monday. She urged Canadian libraries to think "big" to meet the challenge of Russia's drive for; education. Canadians, she said, have become "so bemused and the immediate prob lems of unemployment, nuclear arms and the cold war they have forgotten that a better-educated public is one way to achieve belter-social-planning. "This after-school training, in, the mam, devolves uporuhe reading and thinking individual who for the most part gets his books and other media of ideas from our libraries." Probably only about per cent of librarians in Ontario and BC. and fewer in other 0 I'n actually have a library degree, another minimum CLA requirement.

When if seTup it first minimum standards' in 1957, the CLA also outlined a minimum book' slock for any library: About 4.000 new titles yearly, plus a collection, or access to about 100,000 older works. Except in regional library systems, or large centres, most libraries can't begin to meet this figure. Collections of large municipal libraries in-Ontario aren't avail able to smaller ones' because there Is no provision, legally or practically, for getting the books beyond the Immediate area, Miss Schryver says. FEAR CHANGE "One trouble is that we have no minimum standards for getting government grants," she claims. "Many small town and village libraries are open only a -few hours a week, and the town councfl employs old Aunt Ha'ttie as librarian to give her 1 simple human per is largely responsible for the fact' that libraries-don't use their services fully ar join to provide better facilities when they can.

Reaction of more than 130 homeowners at Monday night's open-air gahering was we don't want low-rent housing, give it to somebody else." The meeting was held at the corner of Mimosa Avenue and Avalon Place which, with Ped-hill Avenue, forms one of the proposed public housing -sites. Riverview Park tops the Mayor's priority list with a propose 150 units on both sides of Station Boulevard in Gloucester Wood. r. TO TEST REACTION Called to community re action, the meeting boiled down to homeowner fear of property devaluation and a feeling that they've been short changed on the choice of building for the sites. Conn u.
