"People who like certain genres of literature may obtain reading lists under their par ticular preferences as well as recommendations for future reading." McCarthy said. The library has "an extensive list” of college catalogs on microfilm “for aspiring students," he said. It also has a complete listing of back issues for newspapers and magazines with hundreds and hundreds of titles, he added. People with questions about peculiar or trivial pursuits may consult the reference section, "which is well versed in fin ding out such information.” McCarthy said. “We are certainly on*? of the biggest per-capita circulation libraries in the country." he said. "We are the largest in Oregon and one of the top ranking libraries in the country for libraries of this size," he added Yet the library is running out of space in which to locate their extensive collection of books, periodicals and services. For this reason plans are be ing finalized by the City of Fugene for a new or expanded library. Citizens interested in the planning process attended an informational meeting held at the library in July. At the meeting, the main con cern voiced by Eugene area residents was the cost of park ing, the most significant factor in the total cost of the new library, according to assistant city librarian Caro!

Of these sites, the least expen sive was the Eighth Avenue and Willamette Street site, with an estimated cost at $18.8 million. This site would also address public concern over parking costs because it would incor porate an existing parking structure into the overall plan whereas the other sites would require new structures.
