operating costs to run a branch library would be high - extra staffing, duplication of parts of the collection, frequent transfer of materials back and forth between the two libraries, a much more expensive computer network to manage it. And we have the Bookmobile, which will be expanding its services to the western part of the community in the near future. More about branches next month. REFERENCE DEPARTMENT The library has recently obtained a copy of the Hughes report On the Sale of Fantasy Garden Wbrld which was an inquiry into charges of conflict of interest concerning former Premier Vander Zalm's private business dealings as a publicly elected official. This report will surely prove to be therapeutic for insomniacs. For those library users searching for book reviews, the Reference department has recently purchased the 10-volume Book Review Index master cumulation covering years 1965 through 1984. This means that users looking for reviews of a book published between these years can locate sources in one place without a cumbersome search through numerous annual indexes.
