Library survives budget crises
The day after the first Monday
closure of the Eugene Public
Library, nearly 6,000 books
waited to be reshelved
That was March 15, and it
took library employees a week
to "recover," remembers Carol
Hildebrand, assistant city libra
rian. "Usually we can get books
back on the shelves within 24
hours."
Almost a month later it still
takes "an extra couple days to
recover from Mondays," Hil
debrand says.
The library began closing on
Mondays after it was asked by
the city to reduce expenditures
It will also be closed on Sundays
after May 23.
The library needed to cut
$75,000 from its budget, so all
part-time employees — the
equivalent of 11 or 12 full-time
workers — were laid off. The
book budget was frozen and a
vacant full-time position was left
unfilled
The city of Eugene asked for a
5-percent cut, but it has a

15-percent impact because it
only covers one-third of the
year, Hildebrand says
Salary is the main expendi
ture of the library, she says,
because the building is open to
the public for more than 50
hours a week, which means a lot
of employee overtime.
Most of the Monday business
is showing up on Tuesday, Hil
debrand says "I don't know if
business will level off, but let me
put it this way — there will be no
time off on Tuesdays "
Library workers have to face
large stacks of returned books
when they show up Tuesday
"People probably drive up, see
we're closed, say Oh, darn! I
forgot,’ and leave their books,"
she says
"The public's biggest prob
lem is just trying to remember
The staff's biggest problem is
dealing with the same number
of people in less time "
The library decided to close
Mondays rather than Sundays
because Sunday hours were
already short (1-5 p m.) and
would not cover the cutbacks
requested by the city, Hil
debrand says
The overall community re
sponse has been positive. Hil
debrand says The library has
acquired 15 to 20 new volun
teers "The volunteers are very
helpful, so we take the time to
train them," she says
"People do care about the
library."
