The Public Library of Med
ford and Jackson county has
grown considerably during the
past six months and much of
this growth can be attributed
to the efforts of one man -Head
Librarian Omar Bacon.
This .is according to Dr.
John T. Brandenburg, a mem
ber of tlie library board. Dr.
Brandenburg introduced Ba
con to the Medford city coun
cil Thursday night as a man
the library board "feels has
done an outstanding job." i
Since Bacon took over the
library and its problems 14
months ago, the library has
seen a 35 per cent increase in
the number of users. In the
last six months alone, book
circulation at the library has
increased by another 35 per
cent. Use of the branch libra
ries has increased by 114 per
library by the county court,
the Medford city council and
local news media. He also not
ed that two grants from the
state for rural library im
provement, totaling $25,000
were received during the past
year.
According to the report.
132,404 books were circulated
from the library and its
branches from July through
December, 1960. This can be
compared to the 97,868 books
circulated during the same pe
riod in 1959.
Pace Rural Growth
Pacing the rural library
growth was the Central Point
library which showed a 190
per cent increase in book cir
library during the pa'jt six
months include an active co
operation between the library
and the Ashland public li
brary. It is now possible for
a patron to borrow books from
cither library system on his
one registration card, and he
can return the book to the
library most convenient for
him.
Plans Increased Service
; Dr. Brandenburg told the
city council Thursday night
that the library plans in the
future to increase its mailing
service to senior citizens. Un
der this service, a patron can
write, receive and return
books, all by mail.
Also during the past six
months, the library has in
stalled a curbside book drop
in front of the library and add
ed a record collection. The
records are loaned out on the
same basis as books.
The report noted that some
problems have developed be
cause of the unexpected
growth of the library, such as
the need for more personnel,
but it concludes with the as
surance that "the library an
ticipates continued high serv
ice to the public in the next
six months."
culation. Close behind was the
Shady Cove library with" a
174 per cent increase and the
Jacksonville library with a
153 per cent increase. There
are nine branches in the sys
tem, in addition to the central
library in Medford.
There were 14,870 register
ed borrowers in the system in
December, 1960, compared to
14,007 in July, 1960. During
that six months period, 3,301
new borrowers were register
ed, and 2,438 were dropped.
Of the 14,870 registered bor
rowers, 5,296 of them were
children.
Other improvements at the
cent. " .' "
Air of Friendliness
Before Bacon came, accord
ing to Dr. Brandenburg, the
library "was a hostile place
to get a book." Now, there is
an air of friendliness about
the place; employee morale
has improved; and many "un
just" rules and regulations are
gone.
In a six-months report pre
pared for the council, Bacon
himself attributes the growth
to increasing support of the
