Canada and U.S.A., 1972

Abstract

I SET OUT on my five weeks' visitation to libraries in North America on Easter Monday 1972, having been granted the Mature Librarians Award of the London and Home Counties Branch of the Library Association. My first port of call was Toronto, a city I had been in five years before on a private visit, and here I saw the College Bibliocenter at Don Mills, ordering headquarters for the stocks of fifty‐six college libraries; the Audio‐Visual Materials Center of the Toronto libraries; and the Learning Resources Center at Forest Hills, in an attractive building housing a new branch library and everything one could name in the audio‐visual field. The person in charge of the Resources Center is an audio‐visuals technician on the library staff and it houses a large exhibition‐area and a very pleasant theatre seating two hundred.
