After carefully studying the geography, road system and demographic characteristics of the community along with the dynamics of existing Library usage, the consultants recommended expansion of the present building, rejecting such alternatives as moving to a new site or opening a branch library. They reasoned that a branch in the western portion of the community would be beyond convenient walking or cycling range of all but a small number of people, could not offer anything like the diversity of selection that people are used to in the present building and would therefore have limited appeal as a neighbourhood drop-in facility. A branch would add significantly to the cost of West Vancouver's library service (through the expense of operating a second building and an expanded computer network as well as extra staffing and a partly duplicated collection), while providing marginal benefit to a minority of the population. Five years later this still seems to be the case. WEST VANCOOVER MEMORIAL LI3RARE 1950 Marine DriTe West Vancouver B.C. V7V 1J8 (604) 926-3291 On-line catalogue 925-2594
