The library board will be fortunate indeed if they can secure his services while here and so preserve in the new library building some example of his work, j Miss Nason, county librarian, gives the following description of !he rooms and their uues: Main l'loor. I As one enters the library an nttrac : tive vista will be seen In thre direc jtions. To the left is the children's : room with fire place at end of room. to the right is the adult reading room I also with fireplace, and in the center Is the delivery desk behind which ar Placed the radial book stacks. These rooms are not separated by walls for the one ceiling will extend over an and give more of spacious ness and light. The partitions be tween stack room and reading rooms are formed by the arrangement of book cases. The delivery desk commands a view ot every point' In these three rooms, which is an essential feature In cor rect library construction as it reduces the cost of supervision to the mini mum. Heading Rooms. The two reading rooms ar each 26 by 45 feet. Each will be furnished with four round and four oblong ta bles accommodating 40 readers. In the children's room, the tables and chairs will be of three graduated heights for the convenience of little readers. Window seats at either side of the fire place will furnish them added space and attraction. In one place a wall panel will disclose a small lavoratory with liquid soap and paper towel accessories, for children will be expected and aided in keeping hands clean while using library books. The windows of the adult reading room will give a beautiful view over the river towards Main street. From this room also, one can pass through a French door onto the reading porch which Is one of the nevel and unusu al features of the building. It is 14 by 32 feet and, on the east side where it will be cool in the summer after noons, will offer a most attractive view up the' river and toward the mountains. Offlces- The librarian's office and catalog ing room are in the northeast corner of the building at the rear of the reading room and stack room and are i furnished with lockers, supply cub ! boards and shelving needed for new ! books while being prepared for cir culation. In a corner of the stack room Is pace for a special study for readers At tt.e left of the main entrance are two small coat rooms and at the rinht Is a committee room for the use of library committees or others who need to confer together on sub jects of study. Futtiro Capacity. Libraries must be planned for fu ture growth either within the walls cr by later addition to the building. This matter has been considered, and (ii account of the shape of the lot. future book storage has been provided within the present walls. There are at the present time near ly 8.000 volumes in the county t li brary. Over 3000 were added within the past year and at this rats of growth the next ton years will add 30.000 volumes more. When all shel ving has been added as needed, w Inch is show n In the plans, 38,000 volumes can be accommodated. After that an upper stack can be added over the present stack room with ITlawd glass floor and this will in crease the capacity to 65.000 vol umes. Part of the books will always be in the branch libraries. And so the new building will provide for growth for many years to come. Indian Museum. Nothing more appropriate could be found for museum purposes In' Kast- ern Oregon than a selected collection of Indian relics and the Umatilla County Library will be provided with a special room for this purpose. Ma jor Moorehouse has consented o lend for a time part of his Indian collec tion fr exhibit In the library muse um. Later the Library will probably acquire a permanent collection of Its own. Architect Johnson has planned space for this purpose on a mezzan ine floor above the librarian's office and cataloging room where there will be good light and a convenient stair way entrance from reading room and stack room. ItaxomcnU In the basement floor, an attract ive six sided vestibule opens on the left Into the auditorium which will seat two hundred and eighty people. Two exits are provided, one opening directly on to Main street, so that In emergency the room can be clear ed in a moments time. Both entran ces are so arranged that the passing One of the Round-Up Girl Riders in A V i i t O I of people below cannot disturb read ers on the main floor. Story Hour ami Club Itoom. Opening from the vestibule on the right Is the story hour und club room. Every Saturday morning will he used for the children's story hour. At ether times such organizations as the women's clubs, debating societies, historical society and others of like r.nture can arrange to hold their meet ings. The windows from the club room give a view over the river and a fire place at the east end of the rooms helps to make It a most at tractive meeting place. A tiny kitchen has been arranged Just off the story hour and club room so that refreshments can be served on suitable occasions. loimly Hook Itoom. The county btiok room lined with shelving and well lighted will be a very busy place for the librarians, 'pace for this was given- underneath the reading porch. In to this room will be brought the boxes of new books where they will be checked with the bills, prepared for the cata loging room and sent up by book lift to the main floor.

It will also be the general work room for mending books, for preparing them for the bindery and for many other purposes. A box storage, boiler room, wood and coal bins will also be given spaca of tnls floor and two toilets which have been placed in different corri dors and will be reached by different sinlrways. It has taken much study to arrange all the necessary rooms so that the fewest possible steps will serve the greatest number of needs both for library staff and for patrons. The necessity for an odd shaped building and the Irregular lot has made the difficulties of planning quite unusual. The Grounds. The building Is placed on the lot In such a way as to provide ten feet of grass plot on Main street and Jack si n street sides. Vines will be planted to cover the Jackson street side and 'he triangular spaces at rear corners of the building will be planted with bushes and trees ns seems most fit ting. I'oPiiluiu and Scats. It is expected that a special feature run be tvio'e of the grounds on the eloping b.uik on the river edge which will furnlth tt very pleasing entrance and view from the bridge. The space ' small but the landscape effect will be carefully studied. A section of concrete will be made to enlarge the entrance space ant! concrete seats built In overlook Inir the river. At the bridge corner will be placed a drinking fountain. A novel feature will be In using the waste water from the fountain for Ir rltfutlng the parked slope nnd In form ing a wnter garden In the rock hnnk. Every possible advantage Is being tuen of the difficult features of Ir regular shape and elevation of the lot In ordr to provide a beautiful build ing nnd grounds.
