The first thing the Board discovered was that the service is remarkably inexpensive. Not only does it circulate books at a lower unit cost than the main library can manage (approximately 80 cents per loan versus 85 cents, using comparable criteria), but it is even less expensive than the homebound delivery service to shut-ins, which relies on volunteers I Far from being an anachronism, the urban bookmobile is a very cost-effective means of providing an outreach library service, which is why bookmobiles are starting to make a comeback in North America. More on this later. REFERENCE DEPARTMENT The VaLLiie Line, a publication much requested by the investment community, has been prohibitively expensive for libraries to purchase. However, a Canadian edition at reduced cost is being published and the library's acquisition of this edition is proving quite popular. The 2â€"volume set. Art and Architecture in Canada: a Bibliography and Guide to the Literature, is an enormous undertaking. It contains annotated entries and primary sources by subject and geography in the much neglected areas of Canadian art history and architectural research. The newly released, greatly expanded 4th ®^ition of H.W. Janson's standard work. History of Art, has been acquired by the Reference Department. The quality of text and illustration has remained, since the 1st edition published in 1962, an inspiration to art lovers and students alike. ADULT SERVICES IN THE GALLECRY.....works by Capilano College Studio of Art students will be exhibited in the library August 1 to 31- During Harmony in the Arts week August 13â€"18 a few participating students will be in the library at different times to explain their art and techniques used.
