Treasures of our Memorial Library Help with Pastimes and Hobbies When the hockey mania has waned,or the skateboard injuries are healing, there may be an occasion for favorite hobbies or pastimes. For expert guidance then, in innumerable fields, our library is superbly equipped to offer help or encouragement. Of course, the scope of these possible interests is limitless, so your scribe has chosen just three, as illustrative examples. "For starters", let's consider what the library can offer to beginners or devotees seeking knowledge about Chess, Stamp Collecting or Photography. At first survey, the mass of material offered on the shelves of this library may seem overwhelming, but a calm overview will quickly reveal that some is designed to encourage the beginner, but there is plenty here for even the most knowledgeable. For example, let us first ask the computer what we may find here about CHESS. Here is a tentative list: 1. Chess. 2. Two Chess Tournaments. 3. Collections of Chess Games. 4. Chess data Processing History. 5. Chess Dictionaries. 6. Chess End Games. 7. Chess For Children. 8. Chess Hand-books, Manuals etc. 9. Chess History. 10. Forty Lessons for the Club Player. 11. Chess Strategy A Tactics. 12. 1000 Best Short Games of Chess. 13. The Story of Chess Pieces. Enough already? But it is easy to see, if you become enamored of this ancient pastime, our Library can offer a comfortable world of pleasure and encouragement. Let us turn now to Stamp Collecting, another worldwide pastime, offering pleasure, education and perhaps even profit, to children, university professors and most types in between. Here I turned to survey the items still on the shelves, ignoring the many which might be out in circulation just then. In the busy main "Circulating" Section, I found twelve books and pamphlets, including eight American catalogues and one British. Such catalogues are often consulted by collectors wanting ideas about the values of their prized stamps, in addition to facts about numbers printed, dates of issue, methods of printing, and so on. In the section for children and youths, I found publications about stamps amounting to four catalogues and seven other books. Turning then to the Reference Section, I found stamp catalogues numbering six of U.S. origin, three Australian (I), four British and twelve Canadian. Next I examined the Library's books on Photography. Here, of course, was a more protean, more comprehensive collection. Even when I confined my counts to material on the art and science of photography, the titles on the shelves were overwhelming, clearly reflecting the stupendous interest in the subject. Such books and booklets in the shelves devoted to children and youths numbered ten, but the Reference Section shelves offered twenty-six, while the general circulating ranks tallied two hundred and three. And these items did not include any of the very numerous books consisting mostly or entirely of photos of specific subjects, for example, portraits, transportation, birds, cities or countries, wars, or antiques. Finally, to lighten the mood, I turned to a booklet entitled, "The Standard Catalogue of Canadian Tire Bonus Coupons", second edition. This publication, came from The Canadian Tire Coupon Collectors Club (Continued on page 4)
