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

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.
