The Heppner Public Library nas grown in several ways this past fiscal year, July 1, 1974 to June 30, 1975. During the same ; v time last year total circulation was 4,737 booka. This year it rose to 4,928 books adult reader checking out 3,838 books and juvenile readers taking out 1,545. The busiest months last year were August, 588 books, and September, 590. This year July saw 688 books checked out and June 1975 617 books. The .library has also assisted readers in obtaining three times as many books from the Slate Library at Salem this year, more than 60 books. New users cards were filed for 241 persons, adults and children, in the last 12 months. Along with" good growth there has been a distressing increase in the number of unreturned books. Although telephone calls and written notices are used, quite a few persons have for varying reasons disregarded their ob ligation to return the library's books. The summer Monday morn ing Childrens' Story Hours attracted fine groups last year, but are bringing in even more children this year as the Heppner Child Care Center brings its four to eight year olds each week. Morrow County authors, Sam McMillan, Clifford Wil liams and Bill Weatherford were honored at autograph coffee hours during this year. At the end of the 1973-74 year the library had cataloged 9,525 books. This year 725 books were cataloged, bringing the total to 10,250. An additional 2,000 books, mainly paper backs, are circulated that have not been cataloged. Many books were contributed these last two years by members of the community. This year there was an increase in the number of memorial gifts. Quite a few books were given to the library by the Blue Mountain Community College library and some were given by the Umatilla County Library. Over 150 new books for adults and children, including important reference works, ' were purchased with City of Heppner funds. Totaled by quarters, the most reading, 1472 books, was done in the last three months of this year, April, May and June 1975. The next largest quarter was July, August and September of 1974 when 1347 books went out. A reading slump hit during October, November and December of 1974 when only 836 books went out. However, in January, February and March reading picked up again and 1273 books went out. The average monthly circu lation for local public library books in 1974-75 was 411 books or about 103 books each week of 15 hours, making the hourly checkout average very close to 7 books. Circulation takes only a small part of the librarian's and volunteer helpers time. Checking ih, shelving, cata loging, purchasing, keeping records, writing letters and reports, and many other tasks .take a larger percentage of the working time. June Field, Leslie Patching, Adelle LaTrace and several others have given many hours of volunteer effort to the ' library during the last two years. Without their help and the cooperation and contribu tions of local organizations such as the Soroptimists, A.A.U.W., the Bookworms, The Odd Fellows, the Lions Club and others, the library could not have successful growth. Blanche Brown was Hepp ner's librarian for 17 years until the end of October 1973 when she retired. Justine Weatherford has been librar ian the last 20 months. The City of Heppner budgets for most of the library's expense, including the three eights time salary of the librarian. Morrow County contributes to the building maintenance and operation.
