FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, September 1. 1957 News About Books From the Library "A large library like this.' Our patrons and visitors often use this phrase, and it never fails to surprise us and perplex us. Is our size being judged by the dimensions of our building, or perhaps from the population we serve? Judged by other standards the Jackson county library is actual ly very, very small something less than half a library, in fact, according to American Library association standards. According to the association's definition of library standards a library serv ing fewer than 100.000 people (we serve 60.000) should have a minimum collection of 100,000 volumes of currently-useful ma terials. Your Medford public and Jackson county library has just over 41,000 volumes, of which more than 13,000 are Children's books. In addition to books an ade quate library for such a popula tion, would have a collection of 250 films, 1.500 long-playing records, and 300-400 periodical titles. Your library receives 100 magazines and has no funds for films or long-playing records. For each 2,500 population in the area served there should be at least one full-time person on ths staff; and at least one-third of the staff should have profes sional education in librarianship according to American Library association standards. That would bring our present staff of seven. up to 24, including eight graduate librarians, of which your staff now includes exactly one. Leaflets describing Ameri can Library association stand ards, and leaflets pertaining to your own county library, are available to you at the circula tion desk. A total of 335 volumes were added to your library during the past two weeks, of which 108 were donated by Mrs. G. T. Ger linger of Portland and patrons of the Jacksonville and Central Foinl branch libraries. A total of 92 new adult titles were add ed, as follows: History: Marines in the Cen tral Solomons, U.

Library Rescheduled For Fall and Winter Jackson County community li- j braries have announced new i schedules of opening hours for j the fall and winter months. ! Commencing Sept. 1, the Butte Falls, Eagle Point, and Jacksonville libraries will be open every Monday from 7 to 9 p.m. The Central Point, Gold Hill, and Phoenix libraries will : be open on Tuesday evenings at j the same hours. The Rogue Riv-. er library will continue its Wed- j nesday evening openings until j further notice, and plans for the i Talent library will be announced later. For Convenience It is hoped that opening, the community libraries one evening each week will make it conveni ent for families to visit the li braries together, according to Helen Webster, county librarian, and will also make it possible for persons who are employed during the day to obtain books and magazines. j Each library is also open for ; differing afternoon periods dur- j ing the week. Schedules can be j obtained from the librarians of ! the community agencies. I In addition to the branch li- ' braries, deposit libraries of 100 '. books are furnished to county 1 communities now without li brary service. Additional sta-1 tions can be supplied by arrange ment with the librarian, Miss Webster said, wherever an indi vidual is willing to undertake its housing and care. Oregon Resolution Passes Senate Friday Washington (IP) The Senate Friday passed a resolution of fered by Sen. Richard L. Neu berger (D-Ore.) authorizing Pre sident Eisenhower to issue an official proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to commemorate appro priately the 100th anniversary of Oregon statehood in 1959. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) was co-sponsor of the resolution, which had to be acted upon be fore President Eisenhower could issue the proclamation. Neuberger said he conferred just prior to the Senate vote with Anthony Brandenthaler of Baker, chairman of the Oregon Centennial commission, regard ing Federal participation in the event. The resolution now goes to the House, where passage may be delayed until early in 1958 because of adjournment of Con gress, although Sen. Neuberger said this was not yet certain. Cleveland, Ohio, had the first community chest in 1914. Distributor "(DDL TO BURM" Let Us Fill Your Tank Now Medford Fuel Co. Tel.
