State Librarian Believes Cities And Counties Should Take Over Library Duties By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM lTI Miss Eleanor Stephens, whose 50-year-old Oregon Stale Library has made a tremen dous contribution to the cultural development of Oregon, thinks it's time for counties and cities to take over much of the library job. Miss Stephens, state librarian, doesn't like the way in which rural state library patrons still have to order hooks by mail. She thinks they should have service from county and local libraries. The Oregon State Library, the first mail order library in the United Stales, was founded 50 years aso this month bv Miss Cor nelia Marvin.

I consin to start the library. In ils first two years, it had only 2,500 books. With little cash, but with a weal'h of tenacity and determination, she spent 24 years on the job. sue worked tirelessly to build up a modern library, and to start local libraries. She succeeded in getting the Postoficc Department to grant a cheap rale on book shipments. Miss Harriet C. Long served from 1930 to 1941. Her major ac complishment was getting the marble library building built in 1939. Miss Stephens has been car ryin? on the work since.

Ils primary business Is its mail order department, by which it mails books to residents of rural areas where there are no libraries. It has other jobs, too. It loans books to other, libraries, and pro vides an extensive reference serv ice. The slate library plays a big part in shaping state legislation by giving information on state affairs to members of the Legislature. It keeps the state archioxVs. and serves public officials. It also loans books to inmates of state institu tions. And it keeps on plugging for bet ter school, local and traveling li braries. All of this costs the taxpayer onlv 15 cents a year.

It seems that wh?n they have to cut expenses, the libraries are the first to get cut. Under a 1955 law, she's now pro moting the idea that two or more counties should join together to have regional libriaries. She says "local resources are not being built up as they should be. The state library is being di verted from essential services.' Miss Stephens believes the state library should do less mail order business, and concentrate more on research and supplementing th collections of local libraries. But she can't reduce the mail order department until there are more local' libraries. Her job, from now on, will In clude selling the counties and cities on parting with enough casn to build new libraries.
