Oregon City Library moves, gains more space
V New library allows more shelf space for books
Brendon Neal
Staff Writer
The Oregon City Library has
just completed a move.
The library, which used to be
at 606 John Adams Street, has
moved to 362 Warner Milne
Road. The library’s new location
is in a corner of the Hilltop
Danielson’s Thriftway, at the cor
ner of Molalla Avenue and
Warner Milne Road.
The old library was last ex
panded in 1988. Soon after, it was
filled up, but because of lack of
funding, it couldn’t expand.
Much of the user load was taken
off of the Oregon City library by
the county library.
Originally, the county library
was not used by the public, but
was instead a depository for other
libraries books that could not be
used because of lack of shelf
space.
Once the Oregon City library
became very crowded, the county
library opened up for users. How
ever, in 1988, the county library
moved out of the area.
The new location allows the
library to actually put more books
on the shelves than at the old lo
cation. According to Roger
McClurg, library director, there is
a national standard for libraries
that states that for every person
being serviced, two volumes
should be available.
The library has leased the
space for five years. At the end
of this time, they hope to have
passed a bond measure. They
tried to pass a bond measure in
1993, but it failed to pass. Anew
bond measure shall be put up in
either 1996 or 97. There are 2.5
acres of land being held for the
library. Once they have the
money, they hope to start build
ing the new site and have it ready
to move into by 2000 when the
current lease is up.
After having been closed
from April 10 to 23, the library
was reopened on Monday. Book
returns were handled at the new
location between April 10 to 23,
and were not to have been re
turned before their due dates, or
to any other library.
The library decided to have

the Oregon City Library relocated to a new location in the Hilltop Shopping Center.
a “Big Checkout” in order to
make the move easier. They en
couraged users to check out large
quantities of books. Approxi
mately two thirds of the books at
the library were checked out dur
ing the “Big Checkout.” This
made the move easier because
there were fewer books to move
to the new location.
Also while the Oregon City
Library was closed, the other li
braries’ computers were not open
for use by library patrons, and
books could not be reserved or
ordered during this time.
The new location provides
tables where patrons can study
and/or use library materials such
as encyclopedias which can’t be
taken out of the library.

do something for the students
and the community,” she said.
She plans to obtain her
transfer degree and work to
ward a career in education.
Jennifer Butler is the sec
ond vice president candidate.
Also a graduate of Gladstone
High School, Butler said she en
joys being involved in student
government, giving student in
put to committees.
Her background in student
government includes being a
senator during spring term and
working as the ASG adminis
trative assistant this year.
She has been involved in a
number of committees, includ
ing legislative, volunteerism,
executive council and campus
events.
“One thing I want if elected
is to develop a campus safety
group to help public safety to
decrease car theft,” Butler said.
“It’s crazy how many cars get
broken into.”
This group would work with
criminal justice students to go
through parking lots at the times
of day that crimes are happening.
Other important issues to
Butler are diversity and hearing
feedback from students about a
possible student fee and the use
of any profits made from such a
fee.
“I would help be a student
voice on the diversity issue and
promote all kinds of diversity.
Diversity is more than cultural.
Diversity is differences,” Butler
said.
Butler is running her cam
paign solo, but this does not nec
essarily mean that if she is elected,
there will be no president.
She plans to transfer to
Willamette, aiming toward a ca
reer in the medical Held.
Polling booths will be set up
around campus, as well as one at
