EIGHT 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."
