‘Tattle tape stops book thieves

A BOOK THEFT detection
system for North Vancouver
District Public Library's
Capilano Branch Expansion
was given the okay by North
Vancouver District Council
at a meeting April 29. The
money is available through a
contingency fund set aside
for just such purposes.

The ‘‘Tattle Tape’’ system
will sound an alarm if pro-
tected material is taken
through the exit without be-
ing properly processed. The
library feels that, as a means
to control theft, the system
will reduce the costs of book
replacements.

Construction on the ex-
pansion began in January
and is expected to be com-
pleted by August for an Oc-
tober opening. Peter Smith,
chairman of the Library
Board Building Committee,
sayS construction is about a
week ahead of schedule and
the project is within budget.
~ The library will cover two
floors and will be about
three times larger than the
old one, In keepirg with the
Edgemont Village
Revitalisation, there will be a
new entrance on Highland
Boulevard.

New features inside the
building include a closed-in
reference room, a meeting
room with separate entrance,
a separate Children’s
Department, complete with
roof garden and roomy
browsing areas for maga-
zines, newspapers, records,
paperbacks and lots of
books.

Surrounding the building
will be a large forecourt with
benches, steps and ramp

Doug ‘Sutherland, who
handles ‘public relations for

tion of B.C. and is. coor-
dinating this year’s: sailpast
activities, says the tradition is
British in origin, and
represents each club’s salute
to its commodore by sailing
past with flags lowered and
jibs aflutter. .

Sutherland says he is work-
ing towards amalgamating
the various Lower Mainland
yacht clubs in one grand
sailpast similar to Seattle’s
spectacular “‘Celebration of
Boating”.

“Vancouver is a_ great
seaport and we want to create
a visual show to bring people
out to see the variety and size
of our sailing community,"’
he says.

For 1986, Sutherland
hopes tug and fishing boat
races can be added to the pro-
posed mass sailpast.
