Newspaper Page TextEIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. June 11, 1943 ENLARGEMENT OF most Med Probably one of the needed improvements in ford municipal buildings is the nublic library, it was stated in morning by Mayor Clarence A Meeker. The library enlarge ment and repair is one of the six issues on which city voters will ballot tomorrow at a special bond election. "Built In 1911 for a popula tlon of 5,000, the library is now trying to serve a population iiiroe times that number, and that Is too much of a stretch, the mayor said. "The proposed plan is to increase the building two and one-half times the pre sent size. This is mot repair work, nor yet a remodeling job; rather it is an enlargement to provide a library such as Med- ford should have. "Adequate reading rooms for both youth and adults are lac ine In the present building. Every inch of space is utilized for booths even the office is filled. In considering the need for more room, it was decided to stop patchwork and makeshift remodelling and to build an ad dition that would be sufficient for present and future require ments. About uu men ana women, boys and girls, visit the library every day. Certainly no other public service is more ac tively used. "The results of the dally visi tations cannot be measured in dollars or tabulated in tangible form, but tho reading and study ing contribute to better citizen ship and to higher standards of living. One way to aid we re turning servicemen in their re adjustment problems is to pro vide attractive reading rooms and the latest books for research and study as well as light reading. "Now is the time when we should weigh this matter seri ously. Many people are moving to Medford because they feel that we are going to give them . and their children the best op portunities for culture and re creation. Vote "yes" tomorrow for a library of which you will be proud and at the same time one that will meet the definite requirements of our beautiful city."
