Ashland can boast of an outstanding library collection - about 1,400 volumes devoted to Shakespeare and related
material The rare volumes are arranged in the Shakespeare alcove, and in addition to the well-filled shelves there
are paintings and prims of Elizabethan significance. The valuable collection was started through the efforts of Dr.
Margery Bailey, professor emeritus of English at Stanford university and executive director of the Institute of
Renaissance Studies of the Oregon Shakespearean festival. Pictured here in the Shakespearean alcove is Mrs. Charles
Worth of the Ashland library staff.
The Prospect branch library building was constructed by the residents of the community as a volunteer effort. The building was
started about three years ago, and a wing added last year. In most instances, towns of the outlying areas in Jackson county
supply quarters, and the main library provides the books and a branch librarian. Open house for the Prospect library will be held
Tuesday, April 23, from 12 noon until 4 p.m.
