RE

The seventeen-week TV series done earlier this year
under the above title is shortly being resuscitated in a
novel one-day "workshop".

Jean Buzan, coordinator of the series, tells us that
on Saturday, October 4th, in the 4-room complex on New
Westminster Campus, there will be a reshowing of some of
these programs.

Not only that, but some of the guests from the original
shows will be on hand in person to answer people's questions
and demonstrate their skills.

Subjects vary from fashions to road safety, from sailing
at 70 to making toys for grandchildren, from talking books
to art appreciation.

The event is FREE, and is being run in conjunction with
the New Westminster School Board who are preceding it with
three Wednesday evening forums on retirement preparation.
(For further particulars of this, call 526-7711).

Time - 10:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Anyone is welcome - - you don't have to be as ancient
a as Jean!

| a LIBRARY - OVERDUE FEES

4 During the Spring 1975 semester the Library experimented with the overdue fee
policy by dropping fees on overdue recalled materials. An average of 68.6%
of recalled materials was returned before or on the date due. The remaining
materials (31.4%) were kept overdue for an average of 8 days, The results are
basically positive, however, borrower complaints indicate that an eight day
wait for requested items is impractical. In response to this concern the
Library has revised the policy so that overdue fees will not be assessed
against recalled items, but if these materials are kept overdue the name and
telephone number of the delinquent borrower will be given to the requesting
borrower. Fees will continue to be assessed against overdue Reserve items

at the rate of 25¢ per hour.
