A unique joint statement by two living ex-presidents, saluting read ing and the nation's libraries, marks the opening of the first National Library Week, March 16 22, to be observed in Klamath County in keeping with the nation al observance. Herbert Hoover and Harry S. Truman, declaring "that the right to think means the right to read." reminds Americans in their joint message that "print is our pass port to truth." Public reading of the Hoover Truman statement will highlight many Library Week ceremonies. The week is dedicated to "A Bet ter-Read, Better-Informed Amer ica." Their join! statement reads: The Bible tells us that truth shall make men free. We Amer icans know that if freedom means anything, it means the right to think. And the right to think means the right to read anything, writ ten anywhere, by any man, at any time. Print is our passport to truth. It opens the richest empire man knows Ihe empire of the human heart and mind. Men die, devices change, success and fame run their course. But within the walls, of even the small est library in our land, lie the treasures, the wisdom and the won der of man's greatest adventures on this earth. National Library Week will greatly serve if it makes us pause .and remember these things." The week is sponsored by the American Library Association and National Book Publishers to en courage the use of libraries. Acting under a national chair man, state, county, city, school, college and special libraries are providing committees and boards whose members work without pay with qualified librarians to bring the best possible reading service to even the smallest hamlet, the most isolated outpost. Locally, the basic committee is composed of Mrs. F. C. Adams, Mrs. O. K. Puckett. Vivian Allo way, librarian supervisor f o r school District No. 1, Roy Tidwell, Klamath Union High School libra rian and chairman of the commit tee, and Mrs. Addie May (Jacki Nixon, city librarian. Librarians are people, and li braries are for people to use. Too, too often thought of, a librarian conjures in the minds of many a picture of an uneducated, unsmil ing female with tight bun of hair, sans humor, peering from be hind hornrimmed glasses at a wary would-be reader afraid to ask for "Robinson Crusoe." Nothing is further from fact. 'To day librarians must meet the stan dards set up by the American Li brary Association, graduation from an accredited library school with a masters degree in library, in Oregon, school librarians are re quired to have general teaching credentials, phis 'their degree in library work. And books are free for the ask ing. Many years ago in old-time England, books were chained to the shelves. Today, among the mil lions of volumes available across the land, the only books not per mitted to be loaned out are those that are irreplaceable. Libraries have available for pub lic use, not only books, but maga zines, pamphlets, clipping files, pictures, musical records, film strips, books in Braille, and books on records to be played for the blind who are unable to read Braille. In larger cities, library services include librarians who visit hospi tals to record reading needs of patients: librarians serve as in- lormalion experts: they are re quired to read books and deter mine what books to buy on a li brary budget, based on qualifica tions of the author, the subject covered and if a particular book is needed in the library. Books are then catalogued, ac cording to subject, to make it a simple procedure for the library patron to find what he is looking for. After books are catalogued, numbered cards must be typed, a record made for use of the li brary, and numbered picket card containers pasted inside the back cover of each volume. All this de tail must be concluded before FRANK STITT Organist To Appear Here The Klamath Falls Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, will present Frank Stilt, a highly gifted young organist, in concert at the lmmanuel Baptist Church. BUeventh and High streets. Tues day evening, March 18. The pro gram will start at 7:30 p.m. There is no admission and the public is cordially invited. A free will of fering will be taken. Those who heard Mr. Stitt dur ing his appearance here under guild auspices two years ago, will welcome his return. While he- ex cels in playing all types of music on the organ, the tremendous ap peal and popularity of this extreme ly versatile young organist is un doubtedly due to his unique and outstanding interpretations of mod ern music. This promises to be one of the most entertaining programs the local guild chapter has sponsored. Tucsdav afternoon, the artist will be at the Bnwden Music Company, Third and Main streets, available for consultation on any problems confronting an organist. His broad experience in tins nera qualities him to sucak authoritatively on all phases of this subject. 11 " ' ' 1 TV TV . SERVICES offered by the Klamath Falls City Library are many and varied.

Reniamin Franklin is credited with founding the first public li brary. The early day libraries were guild libraries, for use only of those wealthy enough to belong to a guild whose members had access to a meager collection oi mc of authors. The first private libraries in America were founded by profes sors of the renowned men's col leges, Harvard and Yale. The name of Carnegie and his contri butions to the world of the printed work is known. Today, there are thousands of libraries and millions of books available to the public. Bus Driver Exams Slated PORTLAND - The stale Board of Health will attempt to work out a program with the State Department of Education for physical examinations of school bus drivers.
