If Librarian Helen Webster of Medford worked in Russia
instead of Jackson county, USA, she would have a much
larger staff but probably a poorer building. And if she
worked in the Lenin Library, she would find books stored
not by subject matter or alphabetically, but by size, for
space is at a premuim even
largest library in the world.
These bits of information Potpourri gleaned yesterday
from the pages of the Saturday Review, which devoted an
issue to National Library week. Irving R. Levine, NBC cor
respondent, visited neighborhood Library' 18 in Moscow in
order to compare Russian and American libraries, their
operation and use.
He found that Library 18,- named after Alexei Nikolae
vich Dobrolubov, a Russian educator and writer of the
nineteenth century, does not have a building of its own, aid
a block of apartments separate the reference reading room
from the lending section. Librarian Helen Webster s coun
terpart in Library Dobrolubov is also a woman, but Mrs.
Valentina Sergey evna Zhdanova of Library 18 has a staff
of 15 full-time librarians and several dozen students from
library institutes working part time.
Correspondent Levine also noted that there are two
women to tend the, coat checkroom and two charwomen.
The only man on the staff is an electrician. The visitor from
America noted that the new books included- such titles as
"Elections in the USSR and in Bourgeoise Countries,"
"Stories of the New Lands," "Poems of 1958" and ."The
Berlin Question." v
He was told that the book most in demand at this time
is a fiction work entitled 'Struggle in the Road" by Galina
Evgenievna Nikolayeva - the story of the struggle between
a demagogic Stalinistic factory director and a. hard-working,
sincere engineer, with the engineer triumphing. -
Levine checked American titles-they included books by
Theodore Dreiser, Jack London, Bret Harte, James Feni
more Cooper, O. Henry, Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher
Stowe. If there were works by Americans still living and
writing, he failed to mention this.
Mrs. Zhdanova's salary is about $111 a month in Ameri
can money-an experienced doctor or skilled factory worker
gets the equivalent of about $120 American dollars a month.
She reported to Correspondent Levine that her library serv
ices about 6,500 persons, and the three-room building has
135,000 volumes. She said that the task of a librarian in
Russia is "to know the reader's background, his interests
and his scope so that ideally the librarian will know what
sort of books each reader is prepared for. Since we service
only about 6,500 persons, we can know most of our readers
pretty well. A librarian should
reader and learn his capabilities.
A Russian must show his identity card at a library,
and enters pertinent data in a small library booklet. This
includes his name, passport number, address, education,
place of work, telephone number and special fields of inter
est. Each time the Russian borrows a book, its number and
due date is entered in the booklet. There is also a space for
the librarian's comments.
Just as Medford has a Library Board, the state libraries
of Russia have a "soviet" or council which advises the staff.
The Dobrolubov council is made up of several students,
Jiousewives, two old-age pensioners, a teacher and an
engineer.
Correspondent Levine also noted in his survey that the
staggering total of 60,000 titles were published in Russia
last year, that the Lenin Library, which the Russian's claim
is the largest in the world, contains 20,000,000 items with
more than 9,000,000 volumes. Books are stored by size rath
er than by subject matter in order to utilize space more
efficiently. The book stack building has 18 stories, and there
are 170 miles of shelves.
Lenin Library employs 2,000 librarians and 500 assist
ants. More than 6,000 people use the library daily; chairs
at individual, partitioned desks are provided for 500 people.
This library closes but one day a month - for cleaning.
: By happenstance, daughter's last letter had library com
ment in it, although she probably gave no thought to Na
tional Library week. "Kenny and I are interested in your
offer of the subscription to Harper's," she wrote. "We
enjoy the other two magazines immensely. The thing that
bothers me is that when I get excited about a book that
is reviewed, I can't find it in the public library. They have
an appalling amount of trash on their shelves. (She writes
from Spokane, Wash.)
"I did finally get to read Doctor Zhivago, after waiting
four months for my name to come up on the reserve list.
If they hadn't received six extra copies, I'd still be waiting.
I liked it very much; it is certainly easier to understand
than the earlier great Russian novels. I could keep it only
seven days, and so had to skip the collection of poetry at
the end."

Farewell Party
Saturday Night
Honors Couple
A "smudge pot-luck" din
ner party was held in honor
of Mr. and Mrs. Nick A.
Vanikiotis last Saturday eve
ning. The get-together was a
surprise farewell as Mr. and
Mrs. Vanikiotis are being
transferred to Portland.
The party was held in the
home of Dr. and Mrs. Paul
Dix. The theme was in keep
ing with the annual Pear
Festival celebration of Med
ford. The large living room
was decorated with blooming
pear trees with a peach tree
in the middle symbolizing "a
peach of a pair." Black
smudge pots stood under each
tree from which black crepe
paper streamers extended up
the wall and inter-mixed with
blue across the ceiling.
The latest thing in a smudge
pot was obtained through the
courtesy of Ben Newman,
manager of Hubbard Wray
company, and was filled with
salt water taffy.
Table candles were made
in small pottery flower pots
in which different colors and
fire -proof sparkle had been
mixed with wax.
A "crying towel" was pre
sented to the couple on which
had been sketched a covered
wagon with the title "Wagon
Treks 1957-1959.",' Since the
honored couple are charter
members of the Welcome
Wagon club, pictures and
verses on the towel depict
outstanding Welcome Wagon
activities for the two year
period. The 60 guests attend-'
ing the farewell autographed
the bottom of the towel.
Mrs. Vanikiotas was pre
sented a corsage of white
carnations. Games and danc
ing completed the evening.
