Toewe said the part-time hire has
been an immense help, but in order to
qualify to become a public library under
the CCRLS guidelines, they need to be
fully staffed with a full-time librarian.
“It seems fitting that we’re talking
about possibly establishing a Keizer pub-
lic library because it is national library
week,” she said. “We’re here to offer the
city a functioning library. It is a unique
opportunity – we can become a func-
tioning public library and a member of
CCRLS. We can and will meet the stan-
dards required for that.”
Toewe noted the city has shown a
dedication to helping Keizer residents to
keep fit, and feels it’s time for the city to
do something for their minds, as well.
“The city of Keizer has shown a really
strong commitment to creating healthy
bodies of the residents in our city by
supporting parks as strongly as you do –
now it’s time to show that you value the
minds of our children, our adults and our
seniors in this city as much as you do
their healthy bodies,” she said.
Toewe was joined by John Hunter,
an executive director of Chemeketa
Cooperative Regional Library Service.
He said he was there to welcome Keizer
into the system and to answer questions.
“We want Keizer to join and we’re not
going to throw any impediments,” said
Hunter.
“Being in the CCRLS allows members
from all over the area to have things we
couldn’t have individually,” said Toewe.
“When we share the burden collec-
tively it becomes a lot more affordable,”
said Teowe. “A huge benefit for being
part of the CCRLS, for a small stand-
alone city library, is that there is a chil-
dren’s committee, there is a cataloguing
committee … so CCRLS provides a lot of
that direct support to staff.”
This isn’t the first time an attempt has
been made to join the CCRLS – however
the current plan is to bring the issue
before voters and let them decide – a
position advocated by former city mayor.
“I can’t imagine elected officials
gambling with public money – you’re
going to buy a librarian for three years.
Where’s the beef after that?” said Lore
Christopher, one of the speakers at the
work session and a former Keizer mayor.
“Where’s the money coming from for
time and eternity to pay for that library?
It’s going to come from the taxpayers
of Keizer – and that’s exactly right. I’m
thrilled to have this vote, but it must be
a vote.”
