News About Books
From the Library
Among the people we envy
are the catalog departments of
mail order houses. They can
ray to their customers with as
surance, "Your order should be
here on -Friday." Even when
they say, "This item must be
shipped from the factory; it may
take two weeks," we envy them.
When a public library orders
a book, it has no assurance that
it v.ill be received in five days,
in five weeks, in five months.
It may come by return mail if
the wholesale jobber expects a
great demand for it and has
ordered a large supply of copies
before publication. If, on the
other hand, he has waited to
order from the publisher until
he gets an indication of the
number of libraries and retail
stores that will want copies, it
may take some weeks to supply
his customers, according to Miss
Helen Webster, Medford librari
an. Perhaps then the book may
have exceeded all expectations
in popularity, the publisher have
depleted his own stock, and a
new printing be required before
the book can be shipped.
Only the very largest libraries
order in sufficient quantity, or
have sufficient order clerks, to
nter into correspondence direct
with the publishers concerning
individual book orders; most li
braries forward their orders
ach week or each month to
book jobbers, who then consoli
date orders and forward them
to the various publishers. Then
they wait; the libraries wait;
and the readers wait.
The Medford library is now
Waiting for more than 800 titles,
most of them ordered within
the past six month. Miss Web
ster said. Meanwhile we con
tinue to send in our weekly
orders. All books on order are
listed in the library's card cata
log and will be reserved for
you upon your request. You will
then be notified when the book
Is available.
Gifts accounted for 104 of the
303 volumes added to the library
during the past two weeks. Do
nors were Yetta R. Olson, Eagle
Point, Mrs. Jo Mattheisen, Eagle
