Sylva Walter No one item could be called WELD COUNTY LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT, 1963 shts of 1963 h point of the Weld County Library's activities for 1963, but a number of changes have resulted in a more stable pattern of service based on added physical features and a predominantly ex- perienced sta€f. Foremost among service problems were the handling of overdue' and the serving of student patrons in the evenings. In February an agreement was made with the Professional Finance Company to hr.dle third .°c, fourth overdue notices for the library by means of letters from the Colorado Adjustment Board. If these failed to produce results, the accounts would go into colie ;;ion with the usual charges and procedures. after a year's trial, the plea is being continued, even though the results have not been completely satisfactory. The 7A:3 letters have brought in many books and this expenditure im definitely justified. However, if a book has gone into collection, half of the cost must be paid to the finance company for its return, and this expense is questionable, When the original agreement for 500 letters is fulfilled some decision will be neceesaary, The student use of th, '1hr ry increased in 1963 until the overcrowding and confusion were extreme uH eimes. Much of the studying was not that involving library materials, and mean of the activity was the meeting of friends udder the pretext of studying. A 'r,rrangement of furniture it the fall which set up ,t definite study area within the immediate supervisory -:ea of the Readers° Advisor desks helped considerably. At the end of the year a new plan was established and publicized to go into effect in Janu r , 1964. This plan will eliminate all text books from the main reading room of the library, and it will abolish the present warnings given to students about conduct. Inetead of being -2 - warned, students will be asked to leave at once if they are disturbing others. Such drastic steps are not desirable, but the present chaos does not allow the staff to give effective library service to those students who really want and need help. Additional furniture included another section of magazine display shelving, a table for use with the card catalog, a credenza for the librarian's office, and a new registration file, The custodian's work was helped by the purchase of a small vacuum for dusting. Two new services were of special interest to staff and patrons,a paperback book display rack was borrowed from a jobber and about seventy-five dollars worth of books purchased. The selection is of adult material, primarily of a recre- ational nature, and suitable for young adults and older teenagers. A clerical staff worker puts in pockets and makes book cards. No records of titles are kept, but when a book is worn out the cover is torn off as a suggestion for future replacement. During the year $107.64 was spent for these uncataloged paperbacks and they circulated 2,559 times. The second project involved moving the newer recordings from numbered files in the back of the library to a new browsing rack at the front. The system of classification adapted puts records of individual composer's works together and groups other recordings by broad subjects: instrumental, vocal, musicals, etc. Circulation of records jumped immediately but has reached a peak limit until more new ones can be made-vailable. Many patrons were surprised to learn of the library's holdings in this field, although some recore:.ngs have been available for years. Another highlight of the year, in the eyes of the staff, at leant, was the purchase of a new station wagon from the library's special fund. The car has been used to good advantage for errands in town, for trips to system libraries, and to take staff members to conventions. The convenience is a. time-saver, and with the excellent service given bycounty shops, the vehicle should also save money over former mileage payments. One project completed in 1963 will probably be the last of its kind. A, new filmstrip catalog was f._:..._J finished in September at an approximate co=t of $5.00 per copy not counting the time spent by the regular staff in proof reading and assembling. By the time the work was completed, the catalog was already out-of-date. Since the card catalog of filmstrips is always availt'ble and current, it is the feeling of the staff that another printed one should not be attempted. Use of the collection is limited to county residents, aryl the should all be able to use the better index provided at the headquarters b'.:i.iid.ing. Two community gifts provided quite different additions to the library. The Weld County Association for Mental Health again gave one hundred dollars for the purchase of books concerning mental health. Boy Scout Explorer Post. 309 pnr up a flag pole in front of the building and presented it and a new flag in an impressive ceremony. 'CE`s GRANTS-IN-AID The funds received from '.te state through the program of grants"in"aid to public libraries were a Inalemble supplement to the cart',/ budget. ,!_ring 1963 these funds were used t irchaee a. second registration. file, a pamphlet file,, the recording displaycabinet, a metal truck for the processing department, and a couch for the staff room. A. little over $250.00 wa.:s spent on filmstrips and recordings, and the balance of $6,010.85 was used to buy adult books. These were predominantly non-fiction titles selected to fill basic needs in the collection. Increased use of the adult az:eria1 in the library has been both the cause and the result of this extra purchasing. Since the county budget included only $16,174.00 for actual book purchase the state money amounted to a 37 % increase in 'Look-b',.i:'icg power. WIID COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM The Weld County Librca:'s,- System members also benefia_ ;' Erom State -Grants - in -Aid, as each received an amount to be used iota: . They also made use of the increased holdings of the headquarters library in ans. :rLng patrons' requests. The number of members remained at five, but Johnstown continues to work for a library which will be established as a part of the system. Mrs. Cleo Findley retired as Eaton librarian, and Mrs. Mary Ross took her place. STAFF ACTIVITIES The midwinter American Library Association convention brought to a close one of Mrs. Adcock's committee assignments when the Standards for Bookmobile Service were officially accepted for publication. The small book appeared in the spring, snA Mrs. Adcock had the privilege of presenting it at the membership meeting of the Public Library Association in Chicago in July. At the summer convention she also served as a member of a panel discussing processing centers. Mrs. Kelsey Carlson went to A.L.A. in July with Mrs. Adcock and attended the Trustee Institute as the official delegate from Colorado. The library was further honored when Mrs. Carlson was elected President of the Trustees and Friends section of the Colorado Library Association in October at the annual meeting. Book and library talks were given by Mrs. Adcock to a number of groups including the Greeley Kiwanis, The Eaton Rotary, University of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship, and Southern District of C.L.A. Mrs. Grunczewski spoke -5 - to the Women of the Moose, and was given a money gift for a recording for the library. During part of her vacation Mrs. Adcock conducted a two-week workshop on centralized processing at Adams State College in Alamosa. FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY Although the group remained small, the interest of those attending was encouraging. Under the leadership of Dr. Margaret Mulroney as President and Miss Josephine Jones as program chairman, the group changed from listening to working. At each meeting some definite work was done for the Weld County Library such as book mending or alphabetizing of cards. The Friends also sponsored a story hour in Gilcrest in connection with the community bookmobile stop. Mrs. Albert Clough and Mrs. J. H. Woolf, Jr. acted as story -tellers, and the local Friends handled the publicity. Money was given to the library for recordings, and is now being accumulated for the purchase of a new record-player. SUMMARY OF 1963 The accompanying charts show the increased use of the Weld County Library. The only figures which show a decrease are those for bookmobile mileage and stops. Since the total circulation increased by 7,500 over 1962, this is obviously due only to the consolidation of schools. The time spent at each stop becomes longer and the circulation greater, but fewer miles --need so ie travelled to reach the people. Several of the community stops have shown marked increases in number of patrons and the interest shown. Again, the increased availability of adult material is meeting a need. Desk circulation from the main building continued to grow. Each month of 1963 was above the corresponding one in 1962 with the increase ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 circulations, The work had, been handled with no increase in the size of the circulation staff, and efficient service habeen given, Reference questions have also i aced in number and variety. With. improved resources, answers are usua.iiy available except for very specialized requests. These may often be answered by the use of inter -library loan through the Rocky Mountain Bibliogr .1 Research Center. The actual processing of books by the Weld County Library staff decreased some because of participation in the Northern Colorado Processing Center, The Center itself continued to expand its membership and to improve its products is still housed in the Weld County Library's former p oce'-i g deiss nw xt,ass: could use more space advantageously, One project attempted in. 1963 wit,.o,tt success twd°s the fo:r.nati.os of a eihdois Public Library Council, The i ,_:a. of having representative:- from t -s school 3min' istration and from all libraries in the community meet to discuss the solution of mutual problems has been used in other communities suc.cesalully. The Conference within a Conference at e.OL.A. in July stresnad this SF a method of meeting student library needs. Three meetings were ca eu n9 mutual agreement. The first was attended by °3reel.ay Public, Colorado State College, ixeeleq' hl gA, Meeker Junior High, Heath 3 -or High and Seld County libraseiases.e d representative of the admir'a :ation of school District 6, At the sewoni the two public libraries she college and one junior' wee repreFeeted, ad at the third only the - libraries and the colleee. `?ome definite pognesee seemed to be made at tire first meeting, and the failure of the other= was a real disappointment. The only value remaining is the mnt r, a.derat=andi.ng of a 'seed -- meeting students° library requests° -shared by the public libraries. -7 - An almost overwhelming success in another area has brought certain problems for the future also. The pre-school children's weekly story hour has become so popular that there are more children than space. The group averages thirty youngsters from 3 to 5 years of age, and it has numbered more than 40. Mrs. Luella Kinnison of the staff and Miss Josephine Jones La, m shared the story- telling responsibility, and their ability has had visihla: results. FUTURE GROWTH As Greeley grows constantly in this area, the use of the library will obviously continue to increase. Many comments of appreciation are received from patrons concerning the friendly helpfulness of staff members, the growing collection of good material, and the extra services such as filmstrips, recordings, and paper -back books. The library staff is proud of being part of a useful organisation and will do all it can to maintain this quality of service or to improve it. With the equipment budgeted for 1964 through county and state funds, the present library building will be at its full capacity for both seating and shelving. Further expansion will be possible only by expanding the physical plant. After more than three full years in the present building,with greater use than was aver anticipated, the original plan for possible expansion in five years has become urgent, Frequently the well for book cards at the circulation desk is full. Many times patrons are waiting in lines of ten or twelve because only one charging machine is available. All of the regular chair■ plus soma folded ones at the ends of table/ are filled in the evenings, and often more patrons are standing at the counters using encyclopedias, or sitting on the floor reading back issues of mageainee, Space of audio-visual and reference materials is crowded, Shelving in the children's room is barely sufficient for the present collection when circulation has been heavy. Since the Greeley Public Library is also considering a building program, it would seem wise for the two institutions to consider possible joint areas of building needs in order to let each the service space so gnarly needed, Areas for technical services, publicity, and storage might well be combined, while two service outlets foe s ity the size of Greeley may easily be justified. It perhaps sounds foolish to repeat that more books are needed when present shelving is just barely sufficient, but there are still many subject areas in which the expressed needs of the patrons cac.iuot be met, Although in some ways less important, the requests for new adult fiction axe never sat.iefied- Only seven percent of the book expenditure was in this category, but most of the books rented from McNaughton Libraries, Inc. are also fiction, and this a,mount should be included in the total percent. As with all growing agencies, the staff of the library needs to be, i:crea.s>ed, The gradual changing from part-time student help to full-time employ€.es who ete more permanent has helped a great deal. The most pressing need is for more clerical help in the circulation department, both to help at the desk sad with shelving, shelf -reading, etc.. The librarian and staff ate fully aware that the progress that has been made has been_accomplished with the -help of an underst.andin 'acrd of T:ecuiems,rccrd of County Commissioners, The Trustees especially,sinee they work more closely with the library, have supported the staff at all times, 7.J.cp with unquet iotirzg di - interest, but with intelligent suggestions and valued gutdarice. With the present excellent staff, with funds sutbtcient to meet the most basic needs, and with the continued cooperation of trustees and commissioners, the Weld County Library should continue to g good library service in 1964, WELD COUNTY LIBRARY en on 01 H BOOKMOBILE REPORT H eat a O z AUG. ,SEPT.
