By MISS HELEN WEBSTER
Medford Librarian
If not each of the year's 365
days, then at least each of its
52 weeks seems to have been ap
propriated by one group or an
other for promotion of its own
particular cause. Because your
public library is interested in all
the people and all the activities
of the community, it welcomes
these calendared reminders of
your special concerns as its own
good opportunity to participate
in your observance of United
Nations day, National Bible
week, American Education
week, Children's Book week, or
other such occasion.
Now in November it has be
come your library's turn to hold
the spotlight during such a pe
riod. Actually an entire year,
1955, was designated by the Gen
eral Federation of Women's
clubs as "Know Your Library"
year, culminating with the
month of November.
Urge Library Visits
Club women all over the
United States are urged to visit
their public libraries during this
month to get to know them bet
ter and to help them grow. The
overall program is under the di
rection of Mrs. Robert F. Her
rig, Libby, Mont., chairman of
the GFWC libraries division.
In an attempt to learn more of
public libraries, their resources,
their problems, their shortcom
ings, the League of Women Vot
ers has prepared a questionnaire
by which each chapter can de
termine how its own local li-

brary measures up to national
standards. The American Asso
ciation of University Women has
adopted promotion of the devel
opment of library services as a
current issue in its national leg
islative program for 1955-1957.
Beta Sigma Phi sorority has
made the acquaintance with and
use of the public library an im
portant part in its program for
the year; and the Alpha Rho
chapter recently held a meeting
in the librarian's office as a part
of that program.
Debt to Women's Groups
All of this seems fitting and
proper since it was women's
.clubs in the first place which
created and fostered the little
subscription libraries that later
become the responsibility of the
entire community. Libraries rec
ognize their great debt to these
organizations and are happy to
contribute, just as far as their
resources permit, to club proj
ects and programs.
We have on display in the li
brary this month some of the
tools of our trade, books that
may tell you more about public
library administration than you
care to know, but are certainly
worth scanning if you are inter
ested in libraries, what they can
be, and what they should do.
You are welcome to borrow any
of them.
Periinent Facts Told
Some pertinent facts about
the Medford Public library are
these: Its headquarters are, of
course, in Medford on West Main
st. at Oakdale, opposite the
courthouse. It may be news to
you, however, that the Medford
Public library, serving county
residents chiefly through 10
branches, or stations, at Jack
sonville, Phoenix, Talent, Eagle
Point, Central Point, Butte Falls,
Shady Cove, Rogue River, Winn
er and Gold Hill.
Any resident of Jackson coun
ty may borrow any book from
the library's collection of over
30,000 volumes from headquar
ters, through one of the branch
es, or by direct mail service if
there is not a branch in his vi
cinity. The most practical means of
making county coverage truly
complete would be by use of a
bookmobile, a traveling library
which would carry a selection
of about 2,500 books to the most
remote corners of the area. Ore
gon has fallen behind her neigh
boring states, California and
Washington, in the use of this
means of library extension.
Library Staff
Your library has a staff of
eight full-time and four part
time assistants, all serving at li
brary headquarters. Each of the
branches has a part-time custo
dian, some of whom serve entire
ly on a voluntary basis.
If your taxes are $100 yearly,
your library costs you 35 cents,
or the cost of one paper-covered
drug store novel, for all of the
services it provides you. If you
pay $1,000 in taxes, your library
costs you $3.50, the current price
of almost any novel or any mag
azine subscription. We hope you
find it worth the cost.
Added Services?
How much would it be worth
to you to bring your library up
to American Library association
standards? To have the bookmo
bile stop at your' community? To
have the services of a profes
sional reference librarian? To
have so many new books that
you would not have to wait for
reserve lists to be filled? Would
you like to have films and rec
ords available for loan?
Your library staff is not only
willing, but eager, to provide
additional books and services
if you say the word. It's your
library, and it will give you
what you ask for, to the farthest
extent of its resources.
Why not become one of the li
brary's more than 10,000 bor
rowers this month, and find out
just what your public library
has to offer you?
