Election on library possible
By Rebocca Merritt
Oregon fU-y f "xnata
Eugene voIdr may decide next May whether they
want to fund construc tion of n new library with a
SI 5 million general obligation bond, city and library
officials said.
The probable election comes more than three
years after voters overwhelmingly approved the
purc hase of the old Sears budding for a new library
If the 10-vear library bond passes, property taxes
will im rease bv about $.!U for the average-value
house m Eugene. said Carol Hildebrand, city librar
ian.
"Both the staff and library patrons have expressed
a lot of frustration over the delay ' Hildebrand said

The City (Council has also agreed to add an addi

leased offices will move to the building to save the

option to expand to the additional floor if need

"I find that a really exciting proposal," said Phil
Weiler. a Kugene public: relations analyst. "This
is a heavily used library We want to make sure we
have the ability to expand it if we need to "
In addition to the library bond, Kugene voters
nun also Im- asked to approve $15 million for rite
building maintenance. This bond would free up
general fund tax dollars that go directly to main
tenance The city could use the money instead to
pay for library operating costs and an expanded
community polic ing program
Members of the Eugene Public Library Founda
tion are organizing a massive campaign to help raise
private money for the library Sheila Seitz, presi
dent of the foundation, said a number of donors
have already expressed interest in the- library The

foundation in looking for community volunteers to
help with money-raising efforts.
"We're real excited about the City Council's sup
port of the library," Seitz said.
A political action committee is also being orga
nized to support the possible bond measure and
help raise funds
Hildebrand said a new library in the 100,000
square-foot Sears building could increase library
usage b\ r»0 percent The current library building
is 17.000 square feet and is not able to meet the
demands of Eugene’s growing population, she
said. Circulation has increased from 211,000 in
1959 when the library was built to 14 million in
1993.
Most of the additional space would be used for
study and reading areas Hildebrand said many
Eugene residents have stopped using the current
library Irecausu they say it is too noisy and crowd
ed The library last year had to close a public meet
ing room, whic h previously held about 1,200 meet
ings per year, to accommodate its 65.000 registered
users. Hildebrand said.
The new library could also be a place for users
to gain access to city documents ori an electronic
system, Weiler said
"There's a whole range of what we can do." he
said
Weiler said the Citv Council will meet next
week to dis< uss the possible bond measures.
