Public library augments
campus book collections
By ERIC JONES
OMhaEmaraM
The Eugene Public Library
isn’t intended to back up any of
the schools in the area, includ
ing the University, according to
assistant librarian Helen
Howard
"However, there are lots of
things the general populace is
interested in that may be useful
to students," Howard says, ad
ding that the library has a com
prehensive collection of Oregon
history, and student groups of
ten use the library's meeting
rooms
Proof of residence (dormitory
addresses are OK) and some
form of identification with a
name and signature are all
that's required for a library card
and access to a wide range of
free services available to all ctty
residents
Howard admits that the library
doesn't have everything a
student might need for a re
search project, but she says, "tf
we've got it, it's going to be very
accessible "
The public library operates on
a $15 million annual budget
and has catalogued 210.000
items tor circulation, not includ
ing the periodical collection
Service is provided by a
45-person staff, plus a number
of part-time workers and volun
teers The library also employs a
number of work-study students
and sometimes offers student
internships
Recently compiled statistics
indicate the popularity of the
library among city residents —
more than one million books
were lent last year, which
breaks down to an average of
306 books checked out every
hour the library was open
In addition to an extensive
collection of fiction and refer
ence books for children and
aduKs. the library lends records
and art prints
More than 4,000 records -
ranging from classical to rock —
can be checked out. and the
listening facilities in the art and
music room may be reactivated
this fall. Several hundred
framed art prints are loaned tor
one-month periods
Other library services include
meeting rooms and display
cases, audio-visual equipment,
a bookmobile, photocopiers
and typewriters for use by the
general public, a telephone
reference system, a television
program (EPL Spaceship) and
special library programs
Meeting rooms that accom
modate 150 people can be re
served by non-profit groups for
free programs Glass display
cases are available for hob
byists — young and old — and a
gallery can be scheduled for
artists' displays
The bookmobile travels
throughout the city and stops
near both Amazon and West
moreland housing
A three-quarter-inch video
tape player, a 16mm film
projector and overhead and
opaque projectors may be used
in the library Video tapes occa
sionally are loaned to organiza
tions with three-quarter-inch
players
Special programs include
free entertainment films For
more information on reserving a
meeting room and for the
schedule of displays and pro
grams. visit or call the librarian's
office
Sometimes the library is
"wall-to-wall people." says
Howard, who adds that she is
hoping a bond issue to expand
the library will come before
Eugene voters in the next cou
ple of years
Until then, the public library
probably will remain a "cozy"
place, with dozens of tables for
reading and studying on the
mam floor and in the periodical
room downstairs, art displays
on the walls and large windows
facing 13th Avenue and Olive
Street
For more information, visit the
library at 100 W 13th Ave., or

10 am to 9 p m Monday
through Thursday. 10 a m to 6
p m Friday and Saturday and,
starting October 1. 1 p m to 5
