In the horse and buggy
days of the late 1800s they
called it the "Reading
Room." It sat on Main Street
near First and was always
occupied in the winter
because it was kept warm.
After that it sat on Good
and First in the North Board
of Control Building. Then
they moved it to a crowded
room in City Hall that is now
the judge's chambers.
Finally, nine years ajjo. the
Nyssa Publk Librar» moved
its 4.000 volumes into its
present home on Main and
Fourth.
A long-hoped-for bond
issue finally passed and w hat
was once Taylor’s Market
became the Library. Since
1967 the library has expand­
ed from 4.000 to 13.370
volumes. It lists 14.197 titles.
These numbers do not
include the magazines, re­
cords. maps and paperbacks
the library has. nor does it
count the unlimited number
of books it can get from the
Malheur County Library tn
Ontario.
In its larger quarters
library services have expand­
ed. The library engages in a
loan program with the Mal­
heur County Jail in Vale, has
a paperback swap area where
people take one book and
leave another, and entertains
day care and kindergarten
classes.
On its budget of $26.146 a
year, the library pays librari­
an Norma S. Urry and
administrative assistant Emi
Hirai. They had a lot of
part time student help until
recently when they cut back
on it. partially because of the
$3.200 budget cut the library
suffered this year. However,
the library is continuing
many of its programs, includ­
ing its monthly shows by
local artists. Currently Vir­
ginia Brandt, a realist paint­
er, is on exhibit. Eight years
ago. when the art exhibits
began, she was the first artist
represented. She continues
to help Mrs. Urry and
supplies her w ith lists of local
artists. "We’re a year and a
half ahead." said the librari­
an.
The library also has a
summer reading program
with 250 elementary school
students involved.
This
year's
theme,
naturally
enough, is the Bicentennial.
But. the library is not
without its problems. For the
past two years the library has
housed the Nyssa High
School library and the result
is cramped quarters for both.
The high school library is
now moving out.
Another problem is the
occasional
controversy a-
roused over certain books
which the library stocks,
“especially popular novels."
Mrs. Urry said.
This problem is dealt with
by asking the complainant to
fill out a form which says
they've read the entire book.
Then the person goes before
the Public Library Board,
which has also read the book.
The Board then decides on
what to do.
Mrs. Urry doesn't think
the problem will ever dis­
appear. "Books are very
personal." she said, and
certain people will always
take offense to certain books
for certain reasons.
What types of books arc
the most popular in Nyssa*
Non fiction tn general is more
popular than fiction among
library patrons. Mrs. Urry
said. With children, history
and science books arc most
popular. "How to" books are
checked out a lot. Among
adults, "Do it yourself' and
crafts books are also very-
popular.
Just how many people use
the Nyssa Publk Library?
During 1974-75 the library's
circulation was 34.560. That
is how many books and
materials were checked out.
“A lot of women, of all ages,
read seven books a week."
Mrs. Urry said.
Does television watching
reduce the amount of reading
people do? Mrs. Urry takes
the controversial stand that it
does not. "People are stimu­
lated by TV to read books."
she said, and explained that
many peopk who hear of a
book on television, usually on
a talk show, come in and ask
for it. But what about
children? Doesn't television
watching cut down on their
reading? Mrs. Urry thinks
kids are naturally curious and
reading is a way to satisfy
that curiosity. They are also
smarter at a younger age
these days and that means
more reading. She also
contends that parents who
don't listen to their kids can
turn them off to reading. The
education whkh begins in
school must continue at
home, she said.
To encourage reading in
young children the library
has a large children's sec­
tion. “We try to get books
they want," Mrs. Urry said.
"We try to make them feel at
home We are caretakers and
it is their library" she
explained.
What is the Nyssa librarian
like?
She "kind of likes people."
She is interested in litera­
ture. For many years she has
taken classes in literature
from Clyde Swisher. English
department head in the
