MINUTES OF THE 18TH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF NLA - 19&3

PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE —David W. Heron, Presides Thursday Evening, Oct. 24

Nevada Library Associath Business session of the Executive Board, to line up the agenda for the business

The Nevada Library Association has many opportunities in the coming year to serve the State and the profession.

sessions of the general and sectional meetings of the Association at the Convention. (Minutes of this meeting being sent to members of the Board)

Our two principal objectives in doing so will be to make the Association more

effective in dealing with the problems which we can solve ourselves, and to make

the people of Nevada and their elected officials aware of the importance of libraries Ings from the Mayor’s Office. State Librarian, Mildred Heyer, brought greetings to the public welfare and the State's development. It is appropriate that we

strive mightily toward these objectives in the Centennial year.

The two preeminent needs of Nevada libraries are for funds with which to provide library service and for trained librarians to spend these funds wisely. In add ition we must examine the patterns of organization of our libraries and the means for achieving a more uniform level of library service throughout the state.

We must avail ourselves of federal aid for library service and promote state aid to match it. We must find the means within and beyond the state for the education of librarians, and the salaries and situations to attract them to our libraries.

Your officers are pledged, during this biennium, to do their best to achieve these objectives.

They will need your support and the support of all the library people eligible for membership. They will need your dues and your ideas and your help with the Association’s endeavors.

from the State Library, saying that six librarians were in attendance from there. She emphasized the importance of considering the needs of Nevada libraries for the future. President Dorothy Dalton, in her opening words of greeting, stressed the need fora strong scholarship program, and the problems of overcrowding and under

staffing in all library fields.

Correspondence ,

Fany letters of greetings were received, but due to the pressure of time, only parts

of two were read: Governor Sawyer’s greetings and regrets that he was unable to attend, and likewise from Edwin Castagna, future ALA President. Mr. Wagman, present ALA President sent a telegram of greetings from all officers and staff of ALA,

which was read.

Introductions were made by Dorothy Dalton: Mr. Arthur Wagstaff, a charter member of NLA and Mr. Russell L. Davis, Utah State Librarian and President, M-PLA.

Betty"porray* Convention Chairman made a few announcements as to last minute changes

in schedule and reminded all who had bills against the convention to be sure to get them in to the local committee chairman as soon as possible.

Stanley Adams moved that due to the pressure of time the reading of Jhe m|nutes be suspended. It was seconded and passed. It was decided to combine the 8:30 and 10.00

sessions on Saturday, as much of the discussion would be similar, and would time for more business.

Carroll Russell reported that the Auditing Committee found everything in order. The report of the Legislative Action Committee was read, while all others were Previous y distributed. It was moved, seconded, and passed that these be accepted as read.

Due to proposed changes in the Constitution and By-laws and some to be made from the floor, Stanley Adams read the additional changes to be made on the copies in han .

In Art. V, sect. I., adding "ALA Councillor and Reglonal Counci1lors shal1 be ex officio members of the Board of Trustees"; and In sect 4, changing to read Jo more than three of the officers named in sect. 1 of th.s article shall be residents of the same county." Again, due to the pressure of time, '\wa! s«99®|ted that

further discussion of these changes and voting be postponed to the b^'ne^ meeti g on Saturday. However, it was moved, seconded and passed to suspend Art- X of the By-laws. The business meeting was adjorned, and the program turned over to Billie

Mae Polson, in the absence of Jerry Dye, who went to the airport.

He advised that we force publishers to make better books, ns aaainst adaptations to make a lot of money. Both emphasized proper selec .on and were against adaptaUons

Together we can make it a good year..

PROGRESS THROUGH ASSOCIATION

—Mildred J. Heyer State Librarian

As the Nevada Library Association goes into its 19th year of effort on behalf of library services to education, it finds itself a part of a rising tide of interest and progress greater than at any time in the history of the profession. The population and information explosions, along with the increase in automation,

have made the means of continuing education for all people an essential.

Guide lines or standards have been developed for all types of libraries, at both the national and local level. The challenge to the Association is that of

coordinating and supporting these efforts as a united group.

Financial support for libraries from the federal government shows promise of increasing but on a terminal basis. Since education Is traditionally a responsi bility of state and local governments, it would be well to assess the strength

of local support and determine if there is a necessity to ask for state grants- in-aid as more than half of the states have done. As statistics reveal, there are untapped sources of library income at the local level.

The cost of establishing both administrative and service units in counties of less than a thousand in population is prohibitive. What pattern of cooperation with shared resources and shared financial support will best benefit all Nevadans? Can this Association, in the next year, arrive at such a plan, and back that plan with

Of course she also praised the story hours, but noted that the effect was greater if books were used in addition, and said that folk tales were always good for telling, winding up telling a story herself.

Business meeting continued from Friday's meeting

After a very brief discussion of the changes in the Constitution and amendment to the

By-laws, in which Jerry Dye asked if the changes would affect the new officers, it was moved, seconded and passed that any action we took would be so construed. Then

Jerry moved, it was seconded and passed that the changes and amendment be adopted. The exhibitors were introduced by Don Brigham, and then at 4:00 P.M. section meetings The constitution and by-laws of each section should not conflict with those of NLA,

were held in various suites.

Saturday morning, Oct. 26. Second General Session

Panel discussion

Joseph F. Shubert moderated a panel discussion concerning problems held in common by different types and sizes of libraries. Panel members Mildred Heyer, Carroll Russell, Mary Moore, Dorothy Saiay Hart, Olive Keate and David Heron represented points of views of a state agency, secondary, junior high and elementary school, military base, small public, and university libraries.

but they do not have to conform.

There was no new business at this time.

New officers and board members of NLA were asked to meet in brief session with David Heron, new president, at the conclusion of this meeting. Jerry moved and it

was seconded and passed to adjourn the meeting at 3:15.

Saturday evening, Oct. 26. Fourth General Session (Banquet)

Miss Mary Pearson, introduced by Jerry Dye, gave a most informative and interesting voting response for it was so light no trustee received more than one vote. The talk on "The use of Audio-Visual Materials in the Library." Speaking of recordings, guest speaker, Leo Politi, was then introduced. This charming and famous author-

she emphasized their importance for language study in that they give unlimited scope (by using more than one teacher, It gives more than one voice). As a standard she suggested that even the smallest library should have:

1. Pictures (greatest expense is in preparation) 2. Recordings (public use wider than books)

3. Maps

4. Films (this limited by cost, primarily)

Miss Pearson feels that recordings are the most important to small libraries.

lovely books. He wound up his little chatty talk with a demonstration of his talents. He made a picture of Moy Moy, his latest creation, which he consented to have auctioned or raffled off to a library. Details of this will be taken care of later by the Scholarship Fund. It was a most enjoyable meeting and banquet. Good luck for next

-Joseph F. Shubert, Assistant Direct.

ALA International Relations Office (former Nevada State Librarian)

History was made in Nevada librarianship October 25, 1963 when the Nevada Library Association acting through the Nevada Association of Library Trustees and the Public Library Association of Nevada adopted for the first time standards for Nevada's public libraries. There is particular significance in this action because these Nevada standards for public library service are in essence the ALA Interim Standards for Small Public Libraries. “----------------------------2

of the specific standards in the ALA Interim Standards document. For the first time have broken through a kind of isolation which has long hindered library development the Nevada Library Association not only has adopted an explicit statement of standard' in many places in the United States. Librarians and trustees of Nevada must still

N. L. A. CONFERENCE REVIEWED

A committee of seven librarians and four trustees over the period of a year studied

and goals for Nevada's public libraries but it has also allied itself with the professional thinking expressed by the ALA.

There was widely expressed within the NLA meeting and in the conversations in Hotel Sahara corridors, coffee shops, and bars the sentiment that mere adoption of standard' will mean little for Nevada libraries unless this is followed by serious work in

implementing the standards. This is why one of the highlights of the convention was the Executive Board action asking the Public Library Development Committee to remain active and concentrate on drawing up a plan under which Nevada communities can attain

the new standards. Acknowledging that development of quality service is no simple problem, the Board also authorized a study of Nevada public library finances including an investigation of the State’s responsibility in this area.

Throughout the convention there was an emphasis on the importance of people: people as the readers served by Nevada libraries; people as librarians and staff; and those people with special community-wide responsibilities as library trustees and public officials.

The thought that, after all, libraries are for people was stressed at several points in the program but perhaps it came through best in Leo Politi's charming talk. Here

NLA members could Identify themselves with the efforts of an author and illustrator who aims to create something truly worth-while for his readers.

Miss Nell Manuel of the Alhambra School District and Dr. Leland Newcomer, Clark County School Superintendent, made it clear that the success of a school library program depends in large measure upon the ability of the school librarian. The panel moderator Saturday morning stressed that personnel with a professional attitude,

a spirit of service, and the ability to give the service people need makes the difference between inferior and superior service in libraries throughout the world.

Trustees themselves acknowledged their responsibilities not only to their own communities but also to the library movement throughout the State. Perhaps there could have been more said about the responsibilities of library people to interpret needs to public officials in convincing and creative ways.

There was also throughout the convention considerable emphasis on newer services and problems in Nevada libraries: the development of audio-visual services; the need for sound planning for any kind of library development; the need for bold action if Nevada’s libraries are to meet today's needs; and the inter-relationship of all kinds of libraries in Nevada and the need for joint planning and cooperative action.

Much hard work lies ahead for the Nevada Library Association and its individual members. There is still much to be done in the systematic study of Nevada's problems and the application of modern techniques in librarianship to solve these problems.

If sound library service is to be achieved throughout Nevada prompt attention must be paid to:

1. The basic financial and administrative problems the counties and cities face in giving the kind of service outlined in the new standards.

develop the cohesiveness and unity of a professional body in the NLA and hard work in this area may mean that in 1964, the hundredth year of Nevada's statehood, they

can achieve much in the development of sound library service for all Nevada.

—Robert L. Lloyd, Engl ish-Library Consultant - State Dept, of Education

2. The development of librarians — both in the preparation of enough library school graduates to staff the school, public, university, and special libraries of the State, and to the opportunities for further devel

opment of present staff through expanded and improved in-service training programs.

3. The need for a clear-cut state plan for development of library services, with specific steps and a timetable for action.

Nevada librarians face these problems as part of the Nevada Library Association and

The State Board of Education, in its December 18, 1962 meeting approved the proposed changes in the apportionment rules which puts school librarians in the same category with music and art teachers, rather than with administrative personnel. A school is entitled to an apportionment for a librarian for every 16 teachers employed. If a school has less than 16 teachers it is entitled to an apportionment equal to the fraction thereof. The librarian must be certified if the school is to receive this apportionment. This action is a major step toward better school library service in Nevada.

All Nevada school districts have taken steps toward improving library service, but some have made huge strides. Clark, Elko, Lyon, Lincoln, and White Pine counties have made major improvements in their library programs.

PRESIDENT KENNEDY

Dr. Frederick H. Wagman, president of the American Library Association, on hearing of the death of President John F. Kennedy, Issued a statement, which is partially quoted below:

"...President John F. Kennedy was a courageous leader of his people. He also valued all that books and libraries mean in our society. We call upon all

librarians to honor our dead president by renewed devotion to our common cause, the strengthening of all our democratic institutions, and resistance to all forces that place In jeopardy our freedoms and those of all our fellow citizens.'

$1000 AWARD EARNED BY NEVADA'S FIRST MULTI-COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM

Trustees of Elko County Library and librarian Marjorie Rosevear will celebrate the award of $1000 for purchase of books, during National Library Week, 196U. Present#!

as the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award through the Book of the Month Club, this Is the second time that Elko has received the prize. In I960, the award-winning llbrai

served only residents of its home county; in 1964, through extended service as the Elko-Lander-Eureka Library System, the books purchased with the award will benefit some 15,000 people In an area of 26,000 square miles.

DAVID W, BRUNTON RESIGNS - NEW TREASURER APPOINTED

Nevada Library Association Treasurer David W. Brunton has resigned his position at

the Nevada State Library to become Executive-Secretary of the California Library

Libraries that have encountered difficulty in obtaining U. S. government publications because of the requirement of the Superintendent of Documents that remittance must

be made in advance of shipment will welcome a change of policy that has just been announced. In the future, governmental agencies (such as public libraries -Ed.) and

institutions may send a purchase order, with or without a claim voucher. If a claim voucher is attached to the purchase order, the Superintendent of Documents will make it out, notarize if necessary, and mail both the purchase order and claim voucher to

the requisitioning agency for presentation to its paying authority and the drawing of the check. The requisitioning agency then resubmits the purchase order with the check to the Superintendent of Documents, and the publications are then shipped.

If a purchase order is submitted without a claim voucher, the Superintendent of Documents will prepare a pro forma invoice in as many copies as desired and mail to the requisitioning agency for the drawing of a check.

It is still possible, of course, to purchase coupons which may be presented as payment with an order, or to maintain a deposit account against which purchases will

be charged.

Further details on ordering and paying for publications may be obtained by writing the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402. (—Reprinted from the California State Librarian, #35, August 5, 1963.)

NOTICE TO ALL NLA MEMBERS:

Copies of the revised Constitution and Bylaws of the Nevada Library Association have been mailed to the membership. If you have not received your copies, please write to: NLA Secretary, Barbara J. Mauseth, Nevada State Library, Carson City.

ATTENTION PLEASE — MAY WE KNOW YOUR NAME?

With a projected population of from 750,000 to 1,000,000 in 1970, Nevada's need for more professionally trained librarians is self-evident. Throughout the state, such people are being called upon to give of their knowledge and experience on a part-

time, emergency basis. Generally, full time employment Is neither desired nor sought by these catalogers, specialists, and administrators at this particular

time. BUT—it would be most helpful and heartening if the name, background of experience and education, and present addresses of these professional people were to be made available to frustrated boards of trustees, school administrators, and per sonnel departments charged with finding the right person for the many library needs of the state.

AND YET ANOTHER NEED Is for a current listing of Nevada authors, including those librarians, trustees and other friends of the library program who have published articles concerning problems (and solutions to problems) of library service. As

the register of names grows, arrangements for deposit copies of published materials will be considered. Please submit entries to: Nevada Libraries, c/o Nevada State

Library, Carson City, Nevada 89701.

INDEXING OF NEVADA NEWSPAPERS - PROGRESS REPORT

Robert D. Schalau, Law Reference Librarian, Nevada State Library, comments that the recently initiated program of indexing early newspapers of the state into one alphabetical arrangement is progressing well. As former librarian-researcher for the Washington (D.C.) bureau of The New York Times, Bob brings a wealth of back ground and experience to the project. He Is being assisted by Mrs. Jeanne Bundy, also of the state agency staff. Commencing with the earliest territorial papers, it Is hoped that indexing through the early years of statehood will be completed in the centennial year.

Other interested researchers are also working on indexing: Mrs. Myrtle Miles, Re search Librarian, Nevada Historical Society, is involved in indexing four of the

MORE ON NEWSPAPER INDEX

"The past is the land of Missing Persons, and it is only by a combination of diligence and good fortune that anyone who is not monumentally remembered can be found there." (From Hervey Allen's The City in the Dawn.)

Bob Schalau is employing his diligence in the ambitious program designed to encompass all newspapers of the state into one alphabetical index, to the end that good fortune may follow researchers into Nevada's history. Papers

W|!l be picked up as they were born, and incorporated into the index by per son, place, and subject. Any personal or corporate name is indexed, as are court cases, new business, etc. Names of buildings are indexed as subheadings to the towns where they stood; outlying ranches, mills, etc., can be located

y name of owner or the structure. As the project continues, more reports

W|H follow to keep Nevada's librarians and historians notified of the progress.

MLLETTER TO ALL TRUSTEES --from W. Allan Thorpe, Chairman, NALT

bear Fellow Trustees:

Those of us who are fortunate enough to enjoy good library service may tend to close our eyes to others who want and need the same. Unless we

ecome interested in areas outside our own, we are not performing as good u$tees. Except for a few places in our state, we must concede that a great

Portion is neglected as far as good library service is concerned.

j Recognition of the fact that our counties are large in area and small

n population indicates that we must pool our ideas and efforts towards the

erment of library services to the many deserving people who now have 'na equate service, or none at all.

CONVENTION COPY

This is, of course, a job that belongs to all citizens, but primarily the initial effort must come from the trustees. One of the very best ways

I know to function as a good trustee is to know and understand the problems of the library. Once we are acquainted with a problem, we can proceed to dea1 with it.

Conventions are our main source of supply for ideas and information con- cerning libraries. Here we have the opportunity to hear and take counsel with the professional people of the ibrary world. These meetings are always rich with information on how we, as rustees, can best meet our problems and hence best serve the people who have honored us with their confidence in appointing us to the library board.

NORTH BAY COOPERATIVE COORDINATOR GUEST SPEAKER

A joint meeting of the Public Library Association of Nevada (PLAN) and the Nevada Association of Library Trustees (NALT) will be held Saturday, at which David Sabsay, coordinator of the North Bay Cooperative Library System will speak. Mr. Sabsay will discuss various means of cooperative systems

in which libraries can join to provide better service to more people. Nevada's libraries are faced with the knowledge that there are many areas unserved or inadequately served in the state by any free, public library, and are expected to have many questions for the California visitor.

The North Bay Cooperative System comprises a decentralized system of providing services to several city and county libraries in six count

ies north of San Francisco. Mr. Sabsay, coordinator of the system from i960 to 1964, and now Chairman, Board of Directors, is well qualified to speak on the subject of cooper ative ventures.

He is a graduate of Harvard College, and received his B.L.S. from the school of Libr

arianship, University of California, Berkeley. Presently, he is serving as Vice-President, President-Elect of the Public Library Execu tives of Central California.

A member of Beta Phi Mu, Harvard Club of San Francisco, Kiwanis International, and the Sierra Club, Mr. Sabsay brings a wide variety of interest and experience to the

joint meeting.

CONVENTION COPY

Our next step was to work to help secure support to insure vital supple mental funds to implement the recently passed legislation, and on March 9, 1964, I sent letters to the following members of the House Education and Welfare Sub

committee on Appropriations: John E. Fogarty, Chairman; Melvin R. Laird; John Lesinski; Winfield K. Denton; Robert H. Michel and Ralph Harding, as well as to Senator Bible, thanking them for the help.they had extended to secure passage of the Library Services and Construction Act, and asking them

to please support the pending legislation for these supplemental funds.

Also at this time, I wrote a letter to President Johnson, thanking him for signing the Library Services and Construction Act into law on February 11, 1964, and received an acknowledgement of my letter from Ralph A. Dungan,

Special Assistant to the President. . Senators Cannon and Bible and Congressman Baring kept us progressively

informed on pending library legislation, and their voluntary cooperation was much appreciated. On April 17, 1964, Congressman Baring sent me a photostatic copy of a report by the Appropriations Committee, explaining why.the House

Education and Welfare Appropriation Bill did not contain appropriations for the library services program recently passed. Mr. Baring stated he hope these funds would be included in the bill when it was considered by the Senate.

When I attended the fourth Governor's Conference in Elko on May 9, 1964,

it was clearly indicated that further efforts must be made to bring.to the attention of Congress the need for added funds for the Library Services and Construction Act. As Chairman of the Federal Relations ^ ^ te e for ne State of Nevada, I was requested to send a telegram to Senator Bible, scat g

that the Nevada Association of Library Trustees urged his cooperation and assistance in helping to secure these funds. On May 19, 1964, in response

to this telegram, I received a letter from Senator Bible, assuring me of his

support.

On August 10, 1964, I wrote to Congressman Howard W Smith Chairman of

the House Ruies Committee, urging his support of the amended NOEA b.i 1 he

npndina in Conqress. As is now a matter of record, this legislation passed

both houses of Congress and included the $55,000,000 for library grants Senator^ i b I e wrotl to me on September 10, 1964, giving me th.s welcome nevs

and stating the iegisiation was before the President for signature.

sent a self-explanatory picture in lieu of a report for this issue—with the acquisition of over 1,000 books for the

library, she has been busy, indeed!

Celeste Lowe, NSU Order Department Techni cian and free-lance writer, has had her latest article, "Dad Fairbanks and the Greenwater Ghost, accepted for the November issue of The Golden West Magazine. She also took some of her busy time to report happenings at Nevada Southern's

library: the addition of staff member-Mrs. Gene Hotchkiss, Cataloger: Mrs. Ruth Newsom, Tech nician, Reference and Documents Section, and Mrs. Esther Brown, T echnician, Order Department. Mrs. Brown formerly worked at the Noble Getchell Library, Nevada Northern. B illie Mae Polson, Acting Librarian, NSU, is happy to announce that the newly acquired Thermofax-Ectofax Duplicator

Idel la Graelish as library assistant, Mt. City-Owyhee Station. Good News. Mrs. Marion Miller, former library assistant at the isolated station, was

recently discharged from the Elko General Hospital, where she had been con fined since early February as the result of an automobile accident. Ocher action in the Elko area includes Board approval for the opening of a library station for people of the Tuscarora-1ndependence Valley area, and the assurance to Montello area residents that the state-owned bookmobile will remain for the winter months. Also reported was the return of Mrs. Ruth Hoskins to the head

quarters library after a leave of absence.

Genevieve Slater, librarian of the Kinnear Public Library in McGill and the president of the NLA White Pine District wrote of a day.spent in Hamilton and Treasure City by members of the group, some of whom claimed that.the ghosts were 'almost visible.' This is a district of NLA that believes.in relating Nevada history to Nevada's future, by preserving the words of pioneers on tape. A project from which all libraries could well benefit.

Long a correspondent for Elko and Salt Lake City papers, Miss McElrath gleaned the 35 episodes appearing in the book largely from visiting with old-timers

An injury received at

the age of 16 resulted in arthritis, which spread throughout her body, and in

1938 she became bedridden. In 1950, she lost her vision, but nothing seemed

FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN'S DESK

In an effort to clear up all necessary items of state business before the

legislature becomes deeply involved in the question of reapportionment, bills are being introduced for early consideration in the session. Several bills affecting libraries have been introduced at this writing (January 29, I965).

A.B. 33 provides for uniform budget, audit, and emergency loan procedures and optional methods of accounting for local governments which are defined as political subdivisions for which ad valorem taxes are levied. This will be applicable to libraries and will become effective, if approved, with the 1966 fiscal budget. This bill was sponsored by the Nevada Municipal Association, the Nevada Association of County Commissioners, and the Nevada School Trustees Association.

A.B, 102 is an act to amend NRS 201.250 relating to obscene exhibitions, books and prints by replacing existing provisions with new definitions, prohibitions, injunctions, and penalties. Librarians and library personnel should study this

bill in its relationship to censorship and the freedom to read to which we all subscribe.

A.B. 148 is an act appropriating $1,211,000 from the general fund for the de sign, construction, and furnishing of a new supreme court and state library building in Carson City, Ormsby County, Nevada. Preliminary estimates indicate that this would provide 25,700 sq. ft. of space for library purposes.

A.B. 202 is the Nevada Library Association-sponsored bill for a Nevada Council on Libraries to provide the means for an overview and study of existing library facilities, resources, and services and for the formulation of recommendations to strengthen and expand these components.

A.B. 204 provides that parents and guardians of minors are responsible for wil ful detention or destruction of library materials, such acts being declared a misdemeanor.

A.B. 205, yet another NLA measure, is an amendment to regional library laws, and enables libraries to pool part of their funds under regional agreement with out complete consolidation.

A.B. 206, also sponsored by NLA, provides for grants-in-aid to libraries and appropriates funds in the amount of $255,000 to be distributed, in per capita, area, and equalization grants.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION

The unincorporated areas of Clark County which lie outside the taxing and service areas of established libraries have been making a resolute effort to secure signers for petitions for a county library district in accordance with the library laws. Salute to Mrs. Jean Ford and her valiant crew. They have found the law to be unworkable in a complex population area such as exists there, and it is expected that an amendment will be introduced to bring the law more into conformity with district library laws in other states and which will

bring the question to the residents of the area.

It is hoped that all NLA members will study this amendment and rally round in support. The success of this district library affects service to 75,00° Nevadans, and will represent a major achievement in terms of the professions

"plan" which has as its goal and objective adequate, free public library ser vice accessible to all residents of the state.

The interest shown by legislators reflects the good work performed by the H” brary profession and the many interested citizens and organizations who are in formed and in support of the program for good libraries. -Please watch the Pro gress of these legislative proposals.

After two and one half years of outstanding service to NSL and the library profession of the state, Mrs. Lucy Harrington Salvia has resigned to accept aposition in Arizona. For the major share of the time that Lucy worked in the Technical Processes Division and Cooperative Processing Center at NSL she carried the responsibility of two librarians. Best wishes of her many friends in libraries and in Carson City go with her.

STATE TRAVELING LIBRARY EXAMINATION CENTER

The State Traveling Book Exhibit which has been housed at the State Library for many years has been established as a Library Book Examination Center at the University of Nevada Library at Reno. Mr. LaMar Smith, education li brarian at the Reno campus, will welcome librarians, teachers, school admin istrators, and citizen groups who wish to visit the Center to examine the books for book selection purposes. College of Education students are making excellent use of the attractive plasti- kleered exhibit of approximately

1,500 representative library books from all publishers for their children's literature and curriculum enrichment courses.

For those unable to visit the Center, collections may be requested from the State Librarian who will arrange transportation of the books to the borrow ing.group. Librarians and teachers are urged to make reservations for coll ections either through the State Librarian or through Mr. Robert L. Lloyd

SPECIAL LIBRARIES "ON THE GROW" IN NEVADA

Special collections, special libraries, special librarians form a relatively new part of the Nevada library picture, and it is the editor's hope to provide Profiles of these important but little known (outside the sphere of special

publics") agencies from time to time in NEVADA LIBRARIES. In this issue, we

eature the Edgerton, Germeshausen & Grier, Inc. Library (EG&G) and the southern Nevada Memorial Hospital Medical Library, both located in Las Vegas.

The quiet dynamo who administers this highly complex collection, also finds time to do the book buying and processing for a nucleus collection at the Albuquerque, New Mexico facility; maintain an active membership in the Special

Library Association, and participate in plans for an Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers convention to be held in Las Vegas this year. A salute to you, Mrs. A!

Mrs. Blanche Marshy a quietly enthusiastic newcomer to the library field, provides an informal resume of the Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital Medical Library. Somewhat paraphrased, the report follows:

The generous contribution of $10,000 from the Max C. Fleischmann Foundation of Nevada to the Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital Medical Library to expandits program has produced great activity within this area. This gift, plus the $1,500 contributed annually by SNMH physicians to maintain the library, enabled an enthusiastic Library Committee to make great strides during 1964*

Following ALA and Medical Library Association standards, a Library of Congress card system was set up; approximately $2,000 worth of reference books covering all departments were added to the collection; periodical subscriptions

were added to the 63 already received, and 174 volumes of bound periodicals were placed on the shelves.

NSU librarians have been major advisors to the committee, and one result is a reciprocal agreement in which subject cards pertinent to scientific and medi cal areas are maintained at both libraries. The staff have also been most help ful in locating copies of back or lost issues of journals needed for binding

OUR FLICKA FRIEND

Miss Eva Persson, of the Malmo, Sweden, library system, visited the Reno and Carson City libraries recently as part of her seven month's tour of United States libraries. Miss Persson is in this country under the Exchange Visitor Program of the Department of State for the dual purpose of studying library science and increasing understanding between the United States and Sweden. Since her arrival in Boston on October 19, Eva has visited several metropoli tan library systems and is now in the western phase of her tour, which ends April 1.

Nevada will be the only state visited twice--Eva will travel from California to Las Vegas in late February, and is quite interested to see the difference- if any-between the northern and southern parts of the state, from a library point of view.

Those who were able to spend some time with her were charmed by Eva's warmth and impressed by her capacity to absorb information and to ask pertinent questions regarding the library situation in the state and in the nation. We w ill hope that she w ill return to Nevada frequently.

On her return to Sweden, Eva will tackle the large job of establishing a new branch library for the Malmo county system. The service area has a population of 230,000 , with a central library and 10 branches supplying library service, Additionally, there are hospital and prison libraries within the system, and one bookmobile in the city. Twice yearly, mobile units visit the county's

150 libraries to refresh collections.

Among the more interesting points made by Eva in her comments on the similari ties and differences in our local government structure was that in 1962 the national parliament passed a law that no community under 8000 population would be considered a local government unit or receive services because of the

inadequacy of support. Regional boundaries? Cutting across county lines? Sounds familiar-- a pattern of cooperation to receive the greater benefit for

the tax dollar.

SEMINAR PLANNED FOR UC-BERKELEY CAMPUS

Seminars on problems of library service in metropolitan and urban areas have been planned by the Association of State Libraries, with the. western meeting to be held April 12-16 at the Berkeley campus of the Univer sity of California. Dr. Edward A. Wight of the UC Library School will direct

the western seminar. It is planned that each participant will prepare an analysis and report of an aspect or aspects of the total problems studied.

Twenty-one western states were invited to attend, and participation from 18, including Nevada, will provide attendants with several view points.

FOR YOUR ADDRESS BOOK— Miss Harriett Jean Chism, formerly of Stead AFB library and one of NLA's ex-president's has moved from her native Nevada

and may be found in neighboring California. Her friends find Nevada col eag should address mail to: US Naval Air Station, Lemoore, California.

PUBLICATION PICK-UPS

| VISTA volunteers (Volunteers in Service to America) may be requested by libraries as part of community programs under the Economic Opportunity Act according to Mrs. Grace T. Stevenson, deputy executive director of the ALA.’ Libraries across the nation are encouraged to cooperate in assisting the recruitment program for this domestic Peace Corps. Fact sheets about the program and preliminary application forms are available from the Office of Economic Opportuni ty-VISTA, Washington, D.C. 20506.

Under Title VI, Mrs. Stevenson said, libraries may use VISTA volunteers

providing they do not replace staff engaged in ongoing library activities | Examples of new programs for which VISTA personnel can be used include

developing programs for the culturally underprivileged child through preschool story hours which utilize picture books and recordings, or programs for

senior citizens.

Operation—Independence, of Las Vegas, has received approval for assignment of eight VISTA volunteers, two of whom will participate in the reading center

phase of the self-help project.

NALT members will find solid ideas, inspiration, and common sense in

an article by H. Lee Hoover, Chairman of the Trustees and Citizens Division Missouri Library.Association. "The public library trustee and the state

trustee association" reviews the history and interdependence of the two

groups, illustrates the value derived from mutual recognition and stresses need for enl ightened cooperation and understanding between librarians, trustees

and governing bodies. A copy of the article is available on loan from the

Field Services Division, Nevada State Library.

An historical novel recounting the true story of the discovery of the Comstock Lode and of the lesser-known Pyramid Lake massacre, 1859-60. The gold-silver discovery brought an influx of miners, gamblers, and settlers who overran Indian lands and rights. The capture of several Bannock women by a group of whites led to the massacre of a white volunteer army at Pyramid Lake. A subsidiary plot tells of the romance of Julian Chadmore, from Boston, and Sarah Martin, a singer. Their story is presented before a background of wel1-researched actual events.

FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN'S DESK

The I965 session of the legisla ture provided the libraries of

NEVADA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION NEWS, NOTES, ETC, A message from NLA president, David W. Heron:

Elsewhere in this issue you will find descriptions of the library laws passed during the 1965 session of the Nevada legislature. They consti tute a major accomplishment for the Nevada Library Association, in improving library service to the people of our State.

°f Wh? Worked for this Pro9ram and its various provisions particularly to Mrs. Griswold, Mrs. Heyer, the Legislative Counsel Bureau Dr Plaas and above all to Mrs. Lohse, NLA and Nevada's libraries owe a heartfelt* vote of thanks.

At the Board of Trustee's meeting in Tonopah April 4, the tim<=> place, theme and budget for the Association's 20th annual conference were’ approved. The theme will be Recruitment, Library Education, and In-Service Training. The dates, October 22-24, I965. The place, Tonopah, as was tenta tively announced at the Tahoe conference.

Conference Chairman is Portia Griswold; Program Chairman, Bob Schajaiu; Exhibits Chairman, Don Johnson, and Local Arrangements Chairman

can surely feel that its legisla tive program was successful, and that the members of the legisla

and considered

b ills presented to

1 ’ landmark1'

Four of the six bills were signed into law; the amendment to the

county district library law was

approved; and the amendment to

the criminal obscenity statute was changed to remove the likelihood of censor- ship in Nevada's libraries.

After consideration of the state grants-in-aid request (A.B.206) in relation ship to available building funds, or buildings, to implement regional service programs—and in relationship to state revenue—the appropriation request was permitted to die in committee. BUT, IT WAS CONSIDERED with recognition of its merit.

The loss of the bill for the collection and reporting of library statistics is of minor importance.

The state library budget was approved with only minor revisions of the governor's recommendations. Tacit approval was given to the announced plan to ''phaseout" public library services from the state agency building over a two-year period by permitting AB.272 to die in committee. This bill would have required the library to maintain a public library department.

Library development can be assured of moving ahead through the Nevada Council on Libraries, an official body created to survey needs and to make recommendations

for the state's libraries. The Council, the unity of purpose displayed by the profession throughout this program, and the momentum sparked by interested citizens in establishing library services, plus the additional Library Services and Construction Act funds will make the next years productive and exciting.

It is heartwarming to note the growing awareness of the common interests of libraries. Professional interest and political action on behalf of the state library program is deeply appreciated by all members of the staff. Thank you.'

Welcome to Donald W, Johnson, who on March 1 became director of the Technical Processes Division-Cooperative Processing Center at the state library. A gradu ate of the University of Chicago's library school, he brings with him a wide background in acquisitions and cataloging, as well as special library experience gained at the Chicago Board of Health, Creighton University, the University of

Portland (Oregon) and elsewhere.

WASHOE COUNTY LIBRARY--ON THE MOVE SPARKS BRANCH LIBRARY IM NEW HOME--by Marion Flynn, Sparks Librarian

The new Sparks Branch of the Washoe County Library at 12th and Oddie opened its doors to the public Saturday, Feb. 27, 1965. On that day 510 people came to the library and checked out 888 books. The following Monday, 921 books were circulated with 30 new cards issued. This response has con

tinued and the circulation has steadily increased. A two weeks comparison was made which- showed that during the first two weeks of March 1964, a total of 6504 books were circulated; in the same period of March 1965, 9319 books were checked out. Even a more striking comparison is the attendance in the

library. In 1964 2390 patrons and in 1965 there were 6530. Each evening all available seating space is occupied by students and the townspeople, who are making use of the reference materials.

Civic pride has been shown by the various groups including Lions Club, Sertoma Club and the Sparks High School Student Body, who are helping mat e ria lly by raising money to help beautify the building and grounds.

The multi-purpose room which is equipped with picture tracks and spot lighted, as well as a stage has been most heartily approved by the community.

At present the Beaux-arts Association has an art exhibit of over 20 oil paintings. This room is for the cultural use of the public, for meetings of groups interested in education and cultural activities.

Although the building was constructed by a County Bond issue of

$ 250,000 before funds were available from the construction portion of the Federal Library Service and Construction Act, now assistance is being re ceived through contracts with the Nevada State Library from the service por tion of the Federal Library Service and Construction Act, for use in extend

ing personnel, operations and equipment.

The staff of the new Branch Library consists of Mrs. Marion Flynn,. Librarian; Mrs. Carrie Lowe, Assistant Librarian; Mrs. Agnes Risley, Child ren's Librarian; Mrs. Eileen O'Connel1 and Mrs. Janet Balmain. Mrs. Louise Tucker and Mrs. Leila Edwards are new members of the staff.

The Library will be dedicated and the cornerstone placed by the Masonic Lodge on Sunday, April 25th at approximately 2 P.M., also there will be open house. This is opening date of National Library Week which we feel is

a most appropriate time. The public and also the 1 ibrarians of our state are most welcome to this affair.

MEANWHILE, BACK AT HEADQUARTERS--by William E. Andrews, Washoe Co. Librarian

March 1st is traditional moving day in many sections of the United

States and this has certainly proven true for the Washoe County Library.

While the staff was still recovering from the Sparks Branch move into a new building, the Central Library Extension Service, Administrative office and Cataloging Departments were spreading out over newly acquired territory in Reno. The Nevada Centennial Commission offices were closing up shop and this being contiguous territory, the library request for more space was granted. This will also make the move two blocks up the street to the new Central Li brary building much easier when the time comes some months from now. Mean while there is room to breathe, work and pack.

As a participant in Phase I of the Knapp School Libraries Project, Marcus Whitman's library has become a demonstration library - an example of how an elementary library can be the instructional center of a school.

With a grant of $1,130,000 from the Knapp Foundation of New York the American Association of School Librarians (an NEA department and an American Library Association division) set up the Knapp School Libraries Project "to demonstrate the educational value of a full program of school library services." Before the conclusion of the Project, a total of five elementary schools and three high schools will have participated.

Visitation teams receive Grant funds to help defray travel expenses.

Editor's note: Betty Porray reports that Nevada won a commendation from the Project Director at Richland for an "excellent cross-section of personnel"

in the composition of the state team of observers.

NLW, NEVADA, 1965

National Library Week has a calm sound to it. In general, the opinion is that things connected with the word "library" are peaceful, serene, quiet and calm. If you believe this and, especially if you are a 1'brarian and believe this, I suggest you take the time to think and reevaluate the

words "library" and "librarian."

A good library may give the appearance of a peaceful institution; however, it is a place of great activity and a source of stimulation for in quisitive minds. It is a collection of ideas and experience of the intellect ual as well as the practical world. It is a center of community activity.

A librarian must have the ability and the willingness to insure the professional and mechanical operation of a good library. He must be ready and able to answer active minds quickly and efficiently. He must be able to unlock and serve out the library’s collection and to promote the

library as a community center. Beyond these things he must be dedicated, but not obligated, to the library collection.

To quote from a preliminary report on Nevada’s NLW program:

I have sincere hopes that this will be the most effective National Library Week program that Nevada has ever experienced. I believe that when

we have finished we will have contributed greatly to the improvement of library collections, library service and to a greater feeling of respect for librarians

on the part of the general public.

To solve the communication problem, the state committee has been regionalized. Three committees of ten members each make up the whole com mittee. Associate members include representatives in key positions in the

educational and library fields.

The use of lay people for National Library Week is perhaps vital for the success of the program. Equally important is that its J'^ary people lead the way and act as citizens for a common good. National Library Week must be a lasting conclusion and a fruitful beginning all in one. For

these it needs enthusiasm, work and a purpose.

Part of the state committee’s task this year is to report to the

public about the conditions of public and school libraries in Nevada. We

hope that it w ill bring about an awareness that a PTMb,e" n7 rest that there is a solution to it, and that the reporting will foster interest

and concern about our library conditions. We plan to attack the pro■ em mediocre book collections, understaffed 1ibraries,.untrained personnel and,

in some instances, the total lack of library facilities.

The National Library Week state committee pledges that it will continue its efforts beyond the limits of April 25-May 1 in a sincere attempt to make this National Library Year.

Governor Grant Sawyer signs an official proclamation declaring April 25-May 1 as National Library Week in Nevada.

Looking on approvingly is Mrs. Mavis W. Morgan, teacher at the Grace Warner School and chair man of the Western Region NLA- NLW Committee.

Pot ° benefit-auction held at the Stein Hofbrau under the direction of NLA NLW state chairman Jack I. Gardner netted over $150 for the cause. The Staff

ssociation of the University of Nevada - Reno campus sponsored the event, with members donating goodies ranging from lemon pie to what was described as a French pizza. Funds will be used for supplies to acquaint the public with services of libraries throughout Nevada.

Among other activities planned for the Week is a concert for children, with the admission price being a current library borrower's card. April 27th is the

ate scheduled for the event, sponsored by the Musician’s Union, State Department of Education, local service clubs, and the University of Nevada - Reno campus.

around the state

City councilmen, who act as trustees for the library,

received wel1-deserved recognition in the newspapers

of northern Nevada. Space for library activity has

quadrupled, memorial funds have doubled, circulation

gains are constant, and evening hours have had to be added

to take care of those wishing to use the library and its re- X. sources. Remodeling of the first floor of the combined City X Offices-Library is now complete, and the recently installed metal x. stacks are rapidly fillin g with newly cataloged books,a g ift collec-X

tion of exceptionally fine titles in the fields of music, art, and

is evident-an article printed in the local paper, listing names of those who donated to the gift fund, and names of those added to the memorial plaque.was read by a former resident, who sent a check for $200, to be used at the li

brarian's discretion!

The Nevada Library Association and the state library agency have been working with the University of Nevada-Reno campus for improved library education opportunities. In addition to courses now offered by the Co lege of Education, the university administration is considering the possibil ity or a workshop for public library personnel. If approved, the program will be offered during the second summer session, July 26-August 13. This advance

notice is provided to allow word to get around in time to plan for enrollment and attendance. A bulletin will be sent out from the state agency as soon as any official information is available. Watch for it!

Library education courses being taught now, or scheduled for the summer session in Las Vegas include an in-service training course for teachers>

Clark County School District.

Mrs. P. has really been busy, working hard toward more informed and active involvement in school library programs by.teachers and admin'^rators. H

efforts were recently recognized on a national basis,when she

for the post of Director, Region VIII, American Association of School

ians, for 1965-66. Good luck to you, ma'am.

Two new trustees have joined library boards recently. Mrs. Helen Cook, of Caliente, was appointed by Lincoln County commissioners to fill the unexpired term formerly held by Charles Newman. Replacing

William J. Walker on the White Pine board is Mr. John

Power, of Ely. His wife, Betty, is librarian at Ruth

Grade School. Welcome to the group! You'll no doubt be hearing from membership chairman Betty Porray within a short time.

Changes are much evident at the Nevada Southern University library, according to a note from Acting Librarian, Billie Mae Polson: Mrs.’

Celeste Lowe, a long time Nevadan and laborer in the field of librarian

ship, has left her position as Order Technician, and now resides in Tecopa Springs, California. Taking over her position is Mrs. Catherine Boyer,

former Circulation Technician. Replacing Mrs. Boyer in“the circulation divi sion is Mrs. Anne Elizabeth Otis.

Jerry Dye, when last heard from, was taking a week off to fly to Bangkok, no word s i nee then?

The reclassification project is 99% complete, and the NSU collection will soon be entirely cataloged by the Library of Congress classification scheme.

The work-study program of financial aid with federal funds to col lege students has enabled the NSU library to hire three more student assist ants, and to stay open from 8:30a-5p on Saturdays. Business is brisk, indeed!

met with considerable success, with costs kept to a minimum and each of the sponsoring agencies accepting responsibility for a phase of the program.

Talk about cooperation -- Dora Witt and her Friends of the Churchill County Library have so many activities that it's impossible to keep track. To help keep the membership informed, a monthly newsletter, as yet unnamed, is issued. It's short, breezy and a delight to read.

FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN'S DESK

July 2 marked a happy fiscal new year for the libraries of Nevada with the naming by Governor Grant Sawyer of the first members of the Nevada Council on Libraries. We are off to a good start! More about the Council and its members appear elsewhere in this

issue.

Nevadans and ex-Nevadans (due to residence requirements only) seen at ALA, Detroit were Lydia Malcolm, David Heron, David Brunton, Joseph F. Shubert, Mary Poole and Edwin Castagna, who is now past president of ALA and NLA.

Although vital to the library profession, the emphasis on statistics and needed funds as indicated by the National Inventory on Library Resources presented at ALA, is less interesting thana "bookish1' convention. The

total of $3.7 billion dollars needed to bring the nation's libraries up to minimum national standards is staggering! The library profession and the Council will want to study carefully the figures for Nevada for possible distortion and for usefulness in projecting the needs of Nevada libraries.

Briefly, the survey-inventory indicated a need for 268,734 more books, 17 additional librarians to fill professional public library positions, and an expenditure of some $877,572 additionally for library operation in the State. This is probably conservative but must represent long range goals.

Adult basic education classes are being organized in several Nevada counties, starting with Washoe, Humboldt and Mineral. Mr. John Griffin of the Depart ment of Education is heading the program and is hopeful of cooperation with

local public libraries. This is another means of reaching out into your community and serving those who most need you. Write to NSL for bibliogra phies of materials which will help you in this project and, if you have good

lists, please share with us and with others. Just to keep it in the family, John's mother is Lena Griffin, one of ours.

1966 is the third -and last -year of the present Library Services and Con struction Act. The present appropriation bill before Congress is ror the same amount as previous years, although an additional $20 million dollars has been requested.The request is receiving encouragement by members of Congress deeply interested in library legislation. Unless the several are prepared to pick up this responsibility, a major concern of 1967 will

the securing of an extension of the Act.

By August 2, NSL will hopefully have a complete staff. .AnQeJ^lsheyLi^’

and to the also newly established title of Mrs Anthony A ^ -

Program plans for the 1965 NLA convention scheduled for October 22-24-in Tonopah were approved in final form at a recent meeting presided over by .

Portia Griswold, convention chairman. Others attending were committee chap men Jane Howard’ (Registration/Reservations); Mary Noyes (Publicity); Jack Gardner (Exhibits); Mildred Heyer (Special Invitations) and Bob..Schalau

(Program). ,

Theme of the Tonopah meet w ill be triple-faceted: Library Educat.on Recruit ment, and In-service Training. Leaders in these three phases of library life will be available to meet with convention attendants on an informal basis

throughout the conference. Planning committees, heeding the plea of librar ians and others throughout the state, have arranged free time for such dis

cussions and exchange of ideas.

Friends of Libraries groups will be in attendance, and will meet with trustees, Council members, and program participant C'Ceai Coombs to get a closer

of the many problems facing libraries today, and to determine the part played

by appointive, elective and volunteer citizen groups.

Members of NASL (Nevada Association of School Librarians) will hold a sep

arate all-day Saturday program, and will then rejoin the general membersh p for a wrapup session in which the three-day conference will be summarized,

evaluated, and otherwise considered.

Highlighting the convention will be a banquet address by Governor Gfant

The Constitution and By-Laws Committee has finished the NLA Handbook which will shortly be distributed to all NLA members. Your new officers will be

fortunate in this codification.

It is a pleasure to observe that the University of Nevada is this summer offering instruction not only for school librarians but for public librar

ians as well. Mr. Shubert's public library course begins on July 29, as does Mr. Ahn's concentrated bibliography and reference course for school

librarians in the regular session.

Elsewhere, Program Chairman Schalau reports plans for the festivities in Tonopah, October 22-24. It promises to be an excellent program. Further

details, pre-registration, and reservation forms will be distributed before Fall. ’

NEVADA COUNCIL ON LIBRARIES IS ANNOUNCED

By act of the 1965 Nevada Legislature, a 7-member Nevada Council on Libraries was established "...to provide the means for the overviewand study of existing library facilities, resources, and services and for the formation of recommendations to strengthen and expand these components."

Membership on the Council consists of two librarians in active

service; two trustees of legally established libraries or library systems, two persons with an active and demonstrated interest, knowledge and under

standing of libraries and library service, and the State Librarian.

Governor Grant Sawyer recently announced the selection of the first Council members from a list submitted by the Board of Trustees, NLA, and has called for a September meeting. A highlight of the.Tonopah conven tion will be the installation and introduction of the Council by the gover

nor.

Mrs. Knox Johnson, one of the two laymen appointed, is a resident of Douglas County and is spearheading a move to provide a library for that

county. She and her fellow Friends of the Library have definitely "an active and demonstrated interest" in library development. Dr. Hyrurn_Plaas> Director, Bureau of Governmental Research, University of Nevada, Reno, is another laymen who well knows the plight of library service in our state a others. He has participated in NLA meetings, acted as resource consu a and panel member at the Governor's Conference for Library Trustees, an 9 much thought and time to Nevada's needs for statewide development of se

and resources.

Dora Witt, Librarian of the Churchill County Library in

one of the faithful NLAers who has actively worked for public library opment through committees, section meetings, and through her own library

conscious community Under Dora's leadership, the Nevada Guidelines were developed, and she also worked determinedly for the“^mpl et ion and adaption of the P publ lc ..Library Development in Nevada. That her efforts are appreciated and recogn1zed was evidenced at the 1964 Convention at which she was named Librarian of the Year. u

Mr. Carrol 1 Russell, is another librarian "in active service"

whose presence on the Council will insure a thorough look into problems and

some provocative suggest.ons for solutions. As chairman of the School Li

brary Development Committee of NLA during the writing of standArdc apply to an Nevada school!Varies he brln/a^! J " *p

school library relations that is much needed. For the last six vears Carroll has served as librarian of the Las Vegas High School.

. fl11TrUTjeeS appo*"ted to the Council are Mrs. Geri Palmeri of Caliente and 14 ..Mian Thorpe of Elko. Mrs. Palmeri, trustee of~The Lincoln Countv Library, served on NLA legislative committees, and was active in eliciting response to the 1965 library legislative program. Through her work in vari- ous c'v.c and national organizations, Geri remains informed and alert to the needs of libraries and other educational organizations.

Allan, currently chairman of NALT (Nevada Association of Library Trustees) is a member of the Elko Library Board which governs the Elko-

Lander-Eureka Library System, and has worked consistently and tirelessly for all .branes of.Nevada. During the 1964 Governor's Conference for Library Trustees he was instrumental in providing those attending with a longranqe view of library development through concerted and cooperative action of

trustees, 1

ibrarians, and interested citizens.

The imaginative masthead shown above is used in the monthly newsletter distri cted to members of the Churchill County Friends.of the Library, and judging by sample issues, contains much lively news items of happenings in the Fallon area.

use of the library by adults, Agnes is kept on the hop.

Through cooperation of the Chief of Police and the Nevada High- ^x

Rosa King, Mineral County Librarian, writes that the newly

established Mina-Luning branch is doing even better than expected. Faye Eggleston, who acts as branch library assistant, is busy and gratified by the local reaction.

Marion Flynn, Sparks Branch Librarian (Washoe County) writes that use of the library is still on the increase, and that the patio outside the children's room has now been planted, with other landscaping to follow. The Friends of the Washoe County Library, Sparks Branch, recently sponsored a program in the library's multipurpose room, at which time Dr, James Hulse gave a talk on his recently published book, Nevada Adventure.

Mrs. Donna Newman, for several years trustee-librarian in Gabbs has moved to Fallon. Mrs. Shirley Walker has been appointed to replace her. All

Rosemary Miller, Humboldt County Librarian, is the proud but frustrated foster mother of the state-owned bookmobile, now being used in a demonstration project

in the far flung reaches of the county. The pride is in the book col section, the staff, and the readers; the frustration lies in trying to be in six.places at once -- a typical bookmobile plaint, which is uncurable, and exhausting, but

worth it!

There have been a number of changes on the staff at Las Vegas City Library. The only nice thing about so many changes, says Dorothy Dalton, is that it has been a wonderful opportunity for partying. Potluck lunches and baby showers, potluck dinners and wedding showers, and the staff can cook. Changes includes

triple play in which Mrs. Jean Lindsay, cataloger, moved to another state, Mrs. Linda DeKuester moved into her position, and Mrs. Hi 1trude Garhardt replaced Linda as Lillian Fleury1s secretary! Mrs. Marion Bryant, reference assistant, le ft to have her baby, and Patsy Greishen is breaking in on that position. Another loss soon to be faced is when Mrs. Maria Donofrio leaves to have her baby. A change of name in Reader Services name plates was necessary when Mary Taylor became Mrs. Sam Saxon on June 6. Along with the many staff changes is the usual frenetic pace of summer circulation, which keeps Mrs. Ruby Berntsen and her efficient circulation department crew whirling.

A PRESIDENTIAL SWAN-SONG

FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN'S DESK

By what alchemy has so much been achieved for Nevada's public libraries since the Fall of 1964

when the NLA legislative action program was being formulated, and the Association published

a brochure indicating that 100,000 Nevadans were without access to locally supported public

1ibrary service?

Douglas County can count among its achievements the purchase of a library site, preliminary plans by an architect, the appointment of a

library board, and the approval of a library budget. Mrs. Knox (Elizabeth) Johnson, one of

many active ’’Friends of the Douglas County

Library " who worked to bring all this about, is on Libraries. the newly elected Chairman of the Nevada Council

---- David W. Heron

President, NLA I963-I965

The progress of libraries in Nevada during this past two years has been unprecedented in several ways, and you, as members of the Nevada Library Association should be proud of your participation in these changes, as I

am proud to have served as president of your state professional association and to recall herewith your biennia) achievements.

Public libraries, assisted by the able leadership of the State Library, have made the greatest gains. The establishment of the Nevada Council on Libraries

the tightening of library laws, and the presentation (even though it was de feated) of a bill for state aid to match the Federal funds, the establishment

of the Ormsby County Library Board, the completion of the Sparks Library and construction of the million dollar Washoe County Library, the Elko Library's Dorothy Canfield Fisher award, expansion of facilities in Las Vegas, Humboldt County, Wells, Mina, and Montello, plans for new buildings in North’tas Vegas and Fallon, steady growth of book collections, and generally increasing public support, have all been sources of great satisfaction.

Tne University Libraries at Reno and Las Vegas have continued to grow en couragingly. The University of Nevada's $300,000 Matching Nevada Libraries Book Fund given jointly by the Fleischmann Foundation and donors of the Alumni Association and Friends of the Library greatly assisted in the de velopment of research and teaching collections; Nevada Southern completed its reclassification and funded a two-story addition to its building.

The University continued and expanded its courses for librarians, adding four new courses for public librarians to the Reno catalogue, and presenting one taught by Joe Shubert during the summer with support from LSCA funds, and a workshop for school librarians taught by Herb Ahn. Betty Porray's courses

for Cloik County school librarians were we 1 I-attended and highly successful.

The greatest progress in School Libraries has come from the State Board of Education's staffing apportionment of a librarian for every 16 teachers, re- s“Jtin9> for example, in exceptional progress in all schools in Elko and dhite Pine counties and virtually full elementary school library staffing in Lyon County.

Excellent libraries are included in new high school buildings in Clark and Lashoe counties, and planning for library facilities, of which Churchill High °c 00. s plan is an example, is an integral part of new school construction.

he provisions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act will greatly enhance many of Nevada's school libraries, and the Ruby Thomas Elementary school pilot program has established precedent for excellent library service.

our association has participated actively in many of these advances. The

egis ative committees prepared and promoted the new and amended library J ^ e s . Public Library Development Committee completed the Nevada JLjdglines to the Use of INTERIM STANDARDS FOR SMALL PUBLIC LIBRARIES and

SEE YOU ALL IN TONOPAH.’’ 112

The fact that we are all librarians - that books are our business, that reading is our business - is, I believe, enough to hold us together. Our problems of

communication with one another are serious. The publication of Nevada Libraries, if we will support it, adapt it to our needs, and use it, and the publication by our Constitution and By-laws committee of the NLA Handbook are devices to pull us together.

The best of these, however, is our annual conference. Whether you are a li brarian, assistant, trustee, or friend of libraries, come to Tonopah. The Association is yours, and needs your active participation if it is to serve

Since November of 1963, many man-hours have been spent on the album: newspaper clippings were removed from assorted envelopes; dates were assigned to many

(others could not be dated through lack of identification as to time); dupli

cate items were discarded; clippings were pasted into the album; pages were interfiled for insertion of older clippings which had been left out of the

original. In the process, two albums have been consolidated to form a single volume. The other remains empty as a spare. There are s till cl ippings to be dated and filed. During the past two years no clippings have been received by this office. It is respectfully suggested that the means which are provided be implemented to insure a complete set of each year's news about NLA. It is also suggested that, now that much of the routine culling and sorting has been accomplished, a future historian may want to appoint a committee to systematic

ally check out the clippings against back papers to determine completeness of the album.

The archives have received a major overhauling during the past two years. Twelve vertical file feet of envelopes stuffed with odds and ends of NLA material from many sources have been reduced to six VF feet of organized ar chives. Every piece of material has been sorted and filed in a subject arrang ment (a subject heading list has been compiled and is available on request). Thousands of duplicate pieces have been discarded. Within each folder, ma

terial is arranged chronologically. This systematic arrangement has pointed out holes in the archives which should be plugged, if possible.

This work literally consumed weeks of time for three people. The Association owes a debt of gratitude to Mrs. Jeanne Bundy for her untiring labor on this project, without which this office could not have accomplished the task, we

were also fortunate in having the aid of a prison trustee.

With the present organization, the archives may be a useful tool to Association members. During the past few months, this office hasbeen able to satisfy

several queries from Ruth Donovan during her compilation of the new NLA man BOOK. Others are encouraged to take advantage of the accessibility to our

archival material.

In November of 1963, Mr. David Heron, our President, requested a history of

the Association from this office upon completion of the organization or tne archives. The organization is now complete; but it has become obvious that^

the material contained in the archives is not enough, of itself, to rorm a history. It is suggested that the history be entrusted to someone witn

sufficient personal knowledge of the Association to span archiva gap , who has the time to devote to the project.

UNION CATALOG OF NEVADA MANUSCRIPTS —Robert D. Armstrong, Special Collections Librarian, University of Nevada, Reno

It is often said, and rig h tfu lly , that Nevada fortunes, once made, went over the hill to California and stayed there, making of that state a rich and bountiful place to live, and leaving Nevada much as it was at the beginning, only poorer,

Much the same story is told of Nevada's written history: diaries, business papers, correspondence and journals of all kinds have found their way into libraries on the other side of the Sierras, making it necessary for students and scholars to travel to California or, frequently, much farther to search out the substance of

Nevada's recorded past.

Within recent months, the University Library has acquired a number of significant additions to its Nevada manuscript collections. But who, outside the University, knows of them? And who, although he is aware of them, knows their contents? Equally of importance to the researcher is the whereabouts of other collections

in the state that, if known and perused, might conceivably augment or change his views.

It seems to me important that each of us should know what manuscript material is in the libraries of the state. I should like to propose a plan.and a simple procedure to make this possible. Specific details will be presented at the Tonopah conven tion, but a brief survey can be given here.

The plan is simply to provide for each of the participating repositories (libraries, museums, historical associations, etc.) of the state a union catalog — a location file of Nevada manu script materials.

Dear NLA Member:

Two library bills of major importance to Nevada libraries and to

library users will require fund authorization and appropriation, if programs in progress are to be continued. One requires appropriation only.

The Library Services and Construction Act (Publ ic Law 88-269; is scheduled to expire on June 30, 1966. If Nevada is to receive funds for the construction of library buildings during 1966-196?, and funds for the pur chase of books, cataloging services, personnel and equipment, Congressional action is required. Both libraries with ongoing programs and new libraries

will be vitally interested in this legislation.

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (Public Law 89-10) which permits the purchase of more than $200,000 worth of library materials for , Nevada's school children during this fiscal year, requires both authorization

and appropriation if funds are to be available next year.

Funds were authorized but not appropriated for Title 1 I of the Hiqher Education Act (Public Law 89-329), which would provide funds enabling

the universities to offer library education courses.to the State s working librarians, with study grant assistance. Early action by Congress coul

result in funding of this title during this fiscal year.

SUPPORT FROM NEVADA CITIZENS AND TAXPAYER'S IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE SENATOR ALLAN BIBLE IS A MEMBER OF THE SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE and of THF APPROPRIATIONS "SUBCOMMITTEE FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE BUDGET OF THE

I would appreciate the names of people representing all types of

STEP TWO -- IMPLEMENTATION OF PUBLIC LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT IN NEVADA - A PLAN

As one of several steps being taken to carry out the plan adopted by NLA at its 1964 Lake Tahoe convention, the state 1ibrary agency staff has

drawn up guidelines for the distribution of state-owned public library mate rials to libraries more accessible to residents of the State. The following statements represent the results of many meetings and discussions.

Pol icy statement

Book resources provided by the State of Nevada through the State Library to libraries of the State should contribute insofar as possible to the improve ment ofJibrary services to all residents. To that end, the long range plans in Public 1 ibrary development in Nevada - A plan, provided for distribution

of state-owned public library materials to State institutions and to public libraries, on a regional basis. This assumed that there wouId be public libraries in representative regions of the State with space, staff, and the capacity to accept responsibility for providing services to residents of a region.

July, 1966, was established as the date on which such distribution woud begin, with the materials placed in libraries on indefinite loan, subject to inter- library loan referral requests to residents without access to libraries; or,

reciprocally among libraries in order that all areas or regions have access to increased resources.

As in any library, many of the books in the state library agency collection have had several years of use; others are relatively new and extremely desir able, and some should be retained although infrequently used. Some must be retained because of overlapping values as materials needed for use by various departments and agencies of State government. No juvenile or popular mate rials have been purchased since July, 1964.

Inorder that meaningful guidelines be provided to the State Library staff in carrying out this project, and to trustees and staffs of other libraries in determining how the distribution will affect local and regional services, the following is offered:

this special award a natural. She is a friend, indeed.

Mrs. Lyman was for many years the active force in the Clark County Library District development, and the collections she developed for the four small

libraries are a tribute to her intelligence and knowledge of commun i ty needs. She is also a superb letter writer and teller of tales concerning Nevada's

early history.

Dr. Plaas is a member of the Nevada Council on Libraries, the d i rector of the Bureau of Governmental Research, UN, Reno campus, and a longtime friend of. libraries. Since his arrival in Nevada, he has acted many times as an arti culate, well-informed resource consultant for NLA and other groups respon sible for planning statewide library service.

FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN'S DESK

GO! GO! GO!

Vacation Readers Go Everywhere

The State Library staff welcomes Mrs. Barba ra Andersen, new director of the Law and Documents

D ivision, who reported for work April 1. A graduate of the Loyola School of Law (Chicago),

Barbara also received a degree in librarianship from the Florida University School of Librarian ship, Tallahassee, Florida. She comes to NSL from two years of experience as law librarian for Covington and Burling, a law firm in Washington, D.C.

Mr. Robert J. Walker was appointed to fill

a vacancy on the Nevada Council on Libraries

created by Al 1 an Thorpe's resignation and move from the State. Mr. Walker is a native Nevadan, a graduate of the University of Nevada, and holds the position of personnel supervisor for Basic, Incorporated, at Gabbs. As president of the Gabbs P-TA, Mr. Walker takes an active interest in that community's school li

brary. On the distaff side, hrs wife, Shirley, shares responsibility with five other Gabbs women for public library services to the townspeople.

State Library staff have been busily computing square feet and drawing up a building program statement for new quarters. It is likely that an appropri ation for building design will be requested from the’ next regular session of the

legislature. As the several public libraries with current and anticipated building programs know, this is happy planning.

As evidence that recruitment has been effective in the last year, at least six Nevadans are interested in securing advanced deprees in librarianship

and, most important, returning to the State. All have undergraduate degrees, have worked in Nevada libraries, and have reached that stage in their careers where benefit would be received both by the individuals and by the profession,

IF funds were available to assist them in their further studies. Three have been accepted by library schools. When approved by Congress, the LSCA program can make two scholarships available. Thanks to the NLA committee and _My.[_L

Ricking, ALA's director for the Office for Recruitment.

Dr. Spencer Hill, project director for the Bureau of Governmental Research, University of Nevada, assisted by Council members and representatives of the

State Department of Education, met on March 25th to work on the Nevada Counci on Libraries statewide survey design. University libraries will be represente

at the next session.

WASHOE COUNTY LIBRARY MOVES

----by Mary Noyes

With the onset of spring some libraries may be "weeding" collections, or "digging out" obsolete material in vertical files as part of their house cleaning, but at Reno's Washoe County Library the word is spelled M-O-V-E. And the move is toward lightness, brightness and beauty at 301 S. Center Street, between Liberty and Ryland.

Three times as much space is available in Washoe's new building of over h-0,000 square feet. William Andrews, county library director, points out that basically the departments will remain the same. However with the April move to this expanded facility there will be an increase in library service, and the opportunity to become a cultural center of the community.

Adult discussion programs, literary groups, record concerts, small music programs, and work with young adults and children are a few possibil

ities.

In touring the new building (amid the symphony of whirring drills,

syncopated hammers, swishing brushes and growling sanders) one is bound to come away with the feeling that this structure is a work of art. It is difficult to point up one particular section as "outstanding" since each area seems supe rcalifragilisti cexp i a 1i doc ious .

The main entrance of the building is flanked by perpendicular lengths of glass set at accordian-p1eated angles. Above the glass is a copper overhang done in an intricate geometric design.

A bridge, accented with planters, connects the main entrance to the body of the library. Looking across the bridge to the center of the building one sees the circulation department directly ahead with the cataloging and ref erence departments to the right, and stacks and browsing area to the left.

On the upper level the focal point is the director's circular glass- enclosed office, and the other administrative offices. Extension and pro cessing departments and personnel facilities are also on this upper level.

Looking from the bridge to the lower level, one surveys the children's room to the right, continuation of the four levels of stacks to the left,

and the main reading room directly under the bridge. The auditorium and exhibit area is behind the reading room on the lower level.

The children's department has its own circulation desk and entrance on Ryland street. Aside from the children's reading room there is a story pit, enclosed by glass, where the kiddies can sit and/or sprawl on Mrs. Hicks' magic carpet during story hour.

Nearby is the exhibit area enclosed by a moveable look-through screen to be drawn back or locked, depending on the specific need.

An auditorium furnished with over 100 permanent seats is available to the community for educational or cultural functions. The projection booth and a permanent pull-down screen converts the auditorium to a theatre. En hancing qualities of this section include its free form ceiling, the parquet floor of the circular stage, the wood paneled backdrop, and the hot-orange color of the theater seats.

In the main reading room on the ground level the focal point is a blue green mosaic wall of fluid design. The outdoors is brought into the reading

room with the use of natural stone, ponds, trees and other plants.

The reference department houses two music listening booths, a large

listening room, two typing booths, a small conference room and the genea logical service, which w ill gradually expand.

Greatly needed work space for every department and facilities for personne1--such as staff room, lounges and locker room--is provided. Cir culation, cataloging, processing, extension, reference and administration have the elbow room they have lacked in the present library.

The increase in space and additional features affords Washoe County s Library staff the opportunity to make this one of the most popular centers for community education and activity. The aesthetic beauty of the building

will certainly make this opportunity a pleasant challenge.

The library's move to new quarters is the result of a gift to the peop

of Washoe County from the Max C. Fleischmann Foundation. Funds of $1,200, plus provided for the building, landscaping and interior decoration.

around the state

Good news from Mrs. Clara Beatty of the Nevada Histor ical Society who writes:

The Nevada Historical Society proudly announces

that a new building to house our thousands of artifacts

and exhibit materials will soon be under construction. Meantime, our museum is going into storage for about

two years, pending the planning and construction of the \ building.

Our library will be housed during that time in temporaryx

quarters on Artemesia Way, near the University of Nevada, where\

it will be open as usual to all researchers, writers and students \ of Nevada and western history.

There are no expected changes of personnel planned, and the Nevada Historical Society Quarterly will be published regularly as before.

Our new building should be completed within about one and one half years, but time wi11 be required for proper occupation of the building with regard to exhibits and library placement, which will take several months.

FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN'S DESK

CONGRESS AUTHORIZES LSCAA -- CHALLENGE TO THE FUTURE

Now awaiting President Johnson's signature, a five-year library improvement program contained

in the Library Services and Construction Act Amendments of 1966 was authorized by Congress on June 28, 1966. To place the full program into operation, the Act must be signed by the President and a supplemental appropriation be made by Con

gress after the July recess; but to insure that

ongoing programs might continue, CONGRESS ALSO PASSED A RESOLUTION ON JUNE 28, PROVIDING FUNDS FOR EXISTING PROGRAMS AT CURRENT FISCAL 1966 LEVELS.

Nevada programs for fiscal 1967 will be activated as soon as official authorization has been received from the United States Office of Education with additional funds made available when LSCAA (Library Services and Con struction Act Amendments of 1966) has completed the appropriation process.

In order that librarians and library boards may relate the five year LSCAA program to local and regional five year programs, a resume of essential provisions and projection of funds is offered. The estimated three million dollars over the five years, provided in gradually increasing amounts each year, used in conjunction with local, state, and regional funds, could have spectacular results for Nevada's library programs.

New Purposes

Promoting interlibrary cooperation and assisting the States to provide certain specialized State library services have been added to the old LSCA purposes of providing library services and facilities where there were none,

supplemental nature where coordination is found to be feasible and in the best interests of the library users. In a sparsely settled area of Northern California, surveyers have recommended that programs of all library aqencies be so planned, organized and developed as to fully complement each other in selection of materials hours of service, joint use of equipment and facil ities such as bookmobiles, delivery vehicles, photocopy machines, film pro-

dectors, and storage space with a clear delineation of the particular roles of public and school libraries. In some instances, joint use of electronic data processing equipment would become possible under such a program.

Over a five year period, this title will bring an estimated $445,000 to

Nevada. Since it is non-matching the first year, t;lclc mignt

there might be merit in

or where

services

and fa c ilitie s are inadequate.

and a11 that participate must share in the costs of the project. New York library planners have recommended one acquisitions and cataloging center for all of the public libraries of the State with a view to extending the

program to include school libraries when the program is established. Would such a program, open to all types of libraries desiring to participate be feasible in Nevada? What is the best use of Title III funds?

T itle IV, Specialized State Library Services

In two parts one for institutional libraries, $44,535, and one for library

ervices to the physically handicapped, $27,644, this title (non-matching the f|rst year) will, if matched in the four succeeding years, provide an estimated $600,000 to Nevada. State controlled and supported institutions,

vi! nn°!T libraries agencies, and organizations will be assisted m providing library services with funds from Title IV.

Books, staff, equipment, and general operating budgets for public library purposes will be supplemented by $146,646 in fiscal 1967 with increasing allocations to the State each year for a total of more than one million dollars in the five years. The budgets of participating libraries have been adequate to provide matching for Title I funds. The steady growth of

local support for libraries including budgets from newly established librar ies will in all liklihood provide the matching needed to earn the LSCAA

Beginning with $136,148 in fiscal 1967, funds for constructing or remodeling

public library buildings will progressively increase to an estimated $272,296 in fiscal 1971 providing a total of more than one million dollars for the five year period. Where should buildings be constructed or remo e eo each year? It would be logical to plan the most expensive structure in t e

last year of the program and it would also be logical for libraries to avoi competition for available funds by scheduling a statewide five year bui in5 program.

Budget

A groundbreaking ceremony for the new Douglas County Library Minden was highlighted by the presentation of a check for $73,073 by Mrs. Knox Johnson Board of Trustees chairman to the county clerk. The sum represented a---------’ grant from the Max C. Fleischmann Foundation of Nevada. A brief historv

of the.library reveals that in November, 1964, a Commerative Memorial Fund was initiated which later grew to $1,500 earmarked "for books only." Later the Ft lends of the Library was organized, which proved to be the qiant step’ that.made the library a reality. The Board of County Commissioners then appointed a Board of Trustees, approved a budget, purchased a lot, and pro vided the means to begin an actual program. A clear case of community in terest resulting inaction that will benefit an entire county. Next step?

A branch for the Lake Tahoe area within five years.

BOOKS ARE REALLY A VITAL PART.OF OUR CIVILIZATION - said Governor Grant In remarks at the official opening of the Baker & Taylor Western Division warehouse, Reno, Friday, May 13th. Excerpts from his statement

toI Iow:

"Without them we would know virtually nothing of the past or of

contemporary actions and thought. In fact, the proper guidance of human

life is more often based on the written word of gifted or learned scientists,

philosophers, and other literary greats of our past and present.

Today, people are aggressively seeking wider knowledge. Of course

newspapers magazines, radio and tele'vision are helping to satisfy the need

Mrs. Eleanor Glover, associated with the State Library for seventeen years at intervening periods and once Assistant State Librarian retired on July I.

She was feted by the staff at luncheons and parties as a small recognition of the high regard felt by all who worked with her.

Dr. Hyrum Plaas, formerly director of the Bureau of Governmental Research at the University of Nevada, and a member of the Nevada Council on Libraries,

resigned his position to accept an appointment as Director of the Bureau

of Governmental Research at the University of Tennessee. An appointment to replace Dr. Plaas on the Council has not yet been named by Governor Sawyer.

Dr. Spencer Hill, project director for the Statewide Survey on Library Services, being conducted by the Bureau of Governmental Research, tells us that the survey team will take to the field approximately Thursday, July 7,

to visit public libraries.

Surveys are the order of the day with new reports from various states, and regions within states, arriving almost daily at the State Library. One o interest to Nevadans was developed by the Public Administration Service or nine counties in northern California lying adjacent to Nevada, with somew a the same conditions as prevail here. Entitled Public Library Services p. Northern California, A Plan for the Future, it deals with sparsely sett e areas crisscrossed by mountains and plagued with financial problems--al o

which is familiar to us.

Another kind of survey --that of services rendered by the Cooperative Pro cessing Center (CPC) --for the fiscal year 1965 - 1966, shows a gratifyin9 and somewhat phenomenal increase in the amount of books purchased and. processed by and for member libraries. A brief resume of totals is given below, along with congratulations to budget makers, book selectors, an crew of CPC:

A REALLY GRAND OPENING - -

More than 700 people toured the new Washoe County Library Sunday afternoon, May 23 following the dedication ceremony. Library director Wi11iam E Andrews was master of ceremonies. Dr. John C Becker, chairman of tha Board of Trustees, and J. C. McKenzie, chairman of the Washoe Board of County

Commissioners, were also on the program.

Continued interest in the nee building is evident in the number of new re gistrations for library cards. in June there were 800 registrants for new cards and 500 renewals. In the old building the average was 100 monthly

registrations. The first story hour in the new building brought out 175

Supervising them, plus hearing book reports from the summer reading group ofPover 200 is keeping the staff hopping. Now that the auditorium seats

are installed, the story hour is divided into two groups. The older child ren go to the theater. Toddlers spend their hour in the Magic Carpet room.

Staff changes as reported, reflect the expanded and still growing programs of the county library:

Joseph F. Shubert, former Nevada State Librarian and Assistant Director of the International Relations Office of the ALA since 1962, has resigned that position effective August 31 to accept appointment as the Librarian of the Ohio State Library. In announcing the resignation, Ruth Warncke, Deputy Executive Director of the ALA, said: "The members of ALA who work directly with Joe Shubert and his colleagues at Headquarters have known that we could not keep him with us very long. His vision and energy, good humor and courtesy, and dedication to library service have been much sought after. We shall miss him a great deal, although we are pleased that he is going to an important position where his many talents will be used to the utmost."

One of Joe's more recent tasks was to coordinate the visits of several foreign librarians to various parts of the nation, in cooperation with the U. S. Department of State. Three of the visitors came to Nevada, and spent time in the Reno-Carson area: Miss Maria Rosa del Valle Andreozzi, National University of Tucuman, Tucuman, Argentina; Mr. Taher Mohammed Shweidhi,

Las Vegas visitors who think of the town only as a glittery oasis of chance would have been surprised had they seen the long, long line of children (and pets, and parents) patiently waiting for the first branch of the Las Vegas Public Library to open its doors Tuesday, June 7.

NEVADA - Report on National Library Week, 1966

Legislat ion:

A state chairman for National Library Week was appointed at an Executive Board meeting of the Nevada Library Association which proceeded

its fall convention in October, 1965. Mrs. Lydia S, Malcolm, Librarian Henderson District Public Library, Henderson, Nevada, was named for the’ position. Mrs. Malcolm started working immediately on her plans.

To efficiently cover a state as large and as sparsely settled as Nevada, it was divided into three sections, each section having both a chairman for School libraries and a chairman for Public and Special libraries

All libraries falling into one of these two categories. By mail and by telephone, the committees began to function and two definite state-wide

programs emerged - one sponsored by School libraries and one sponsored by all other libraries both Public and Special.

School Libraries:

Sponsored a state-wide poster contest with prizes

D i splays Book Reviews

Aides in charge for open house

NLW Bookmarks, Posters, etc. Public and Special Libraries:

Sponsored state-wide contributions for new books for Nevadas' two juvenile homes for boys and girls at Elko and Caliente respectively.

Our Legislature meets biennually, and this was not a meeting year but even so, the Legislative Committee supported all library legislation on the national level by urging members to write to Congressmen and Representatives and, obtained more funds from more County Commissioners for libraries bv sending literature on matching funds for Federal funds.

State Library:

Proclamation by Governor of National Library Week

Met with County Commissioners and obtained additional funds for local libraries and to start county libraries

Assisted during entire year, all libraries of the State, in any way possible with consultants, evaluations, and other ways

Cone 1 us ion:

. In summing up for Nevada's National Library Week Program, the State Chairman feels that the following state-wide goals were accomplished:

U Made the public and politicians more aware of Nevada libraries 2 Encouraged increased use of all available library resources

5) Furthered library service to all Nevada, both rural and urban

The Chairman also feels that the new libraries built and those planned, were

made possible in part, by all of the attention focused on libraries during National Library Week in previous years.

FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN'S DESK

September visits to the youth training centers at Elko and Caliente will be of interest to the many people who donated funds during I966 National Library Week to sup plement the library resources of the schools. When the

last donation was in and counted, Mrs. Lydia S. Malcolm, National Library Week Chairman, was able to depos i t $346.38 with the treasurer of NLA for this purpose. Both the donors and the chairman are to be warmly congratu lated on the success of the project.

Instructional staff and student representation at the Nevada Girls' Training Center elected to receive and expend the funds for current periodicals and paperback books of special interest to the girls enrolled. At the Nevada Youth

Training Center in Elko, a list of titles was chosen for purchase, cataloging, and processing by the State Library for the Center library. The orders are in process.

Both schools have small but centrally located library quarters equipped with shelving and a minimum of library furniture. Both schools are in need of a card catalog. If any library has a nine or fifteen-drawer catalog which it has outgrown, its transfer or loan to either of the schools would be welcomed.

Both schools have collections from the State Library and each receives gift books which need to be selectively weeded and organized for use. A paramount need is for an institutions library consultant to make regular visits to assist

in program development and organization of materials.

Bryan Schwark, who worked diligently for the successful I965 Tonopah Convention, was awarded Nevada's first LSCA scholarship. Bryan attended summer school at th< University of Wisconsin Graduate Library School and upon completion of his pro gram during the academic school year looks forward to a position in a Nevada li

brary. Unfortunately, this may be the last LSCA scholarship due to impending changes in the guidelines for use of LSCA funds to avoid duplication with schol

arship opportunities offered in other programs.

The State Library welcomes to its staff: Patricia Frevert, a library technician and possible recruit to the library profession; Mrs. Li la Ki ng, a clerk-pro- cesser turning out books for CPC; and the return of Mrs. Louise Raine to the periodicals section of Reader Services Division.

Mr. Mervin J. Flander, Supervisor, Division of Services to the Blind, Department of Health and Welfare, Nye Building, Carson City, looks for the cooperation of

librarians in making known the services which are available to eligible blind persons.

Talking books and playing equipment are available on an individual basis and the

players are available for library use. Individuals and libraries may be placed

on the mailing lists to receive Talking Book Topics and Brai1le Editions. If

you are receiving the above publications, it may be through courtesy of Mr. Flander. Eligible users may request what they want to use from the publication

and will receive the materials through the mail.

Braille publications are borrowed from the Library of Congress and the Royal Braille Institute, London.

The Division repairs and services the talking book machines which it places in

public libraries. Mr. Flander would appreciate the referral of persons in nee of library or other services which include rehabilitation, training, help wit appliances and equipment for the blind, and help in the prevention of blindness.!

CONVENTION COPY Letter to members

-- Betty Porray President NLA

What a year this has been'. New libraries --new expansions --new people --each of you doing "bigger and better" jobs. In Ely, October 21 - 23, we'll be gathering and greeting each other again at the Annual Convention meeting of Nevada Library Association.

Statewide, certainly the greatest advance in library action this year has been the work of the Nevada Council on Libraries. Their progress has

been reported to you in this and other mailings ... one feels both genuine humility and deep pride in the individual devotion of the individual

members of this Council. The survey of library services in Nevada, pre sented at preliminary hearings this month, is the result of hard work by keenly enthusiastic and self-sacrificing persons. Their work this year represents a milestone in Nevada library development; the rest of us are both sincerely grateful and firm ly challenged.

Handling the report of the Council will be our primary concern at the Ely meeting. As a united Association we must set in action our recommendations to the State Legislature and then provide the strength and support of a statewide professional organization. Here is the greatest challenge and opportunity we have had in Nevada --to bring better 1 ibrary service to

every kind of 1ibrary in every part of Nevada. Our collective strength is great; our.concern represents every library in our State, different though each individual situation may be.

OurN.L.A. annual conventions always bring us a stimulating interchange of ideas and attitudes ...our differences as individuals make us greater as

an organ ization, and make us better "library persons" in our own areas. Somehow the serious and significant, together with the fellowship and fun,

make us a strong, proud professional Association.

My own horizons were widened this summer as I spent eight weeks at the

. Wisconsin in an NDEA Institute for School Librarians. We were of

states, of every kind and size of school - of three different races - 0 parochial and public - of Deep South, Intermountain West, Metropolitan

icago, Rural New England and all points in between'. We came away grate- u anci stronger for the experience. Though we were all school librarians,

N'h

,e, tOtal grouP was as varied in every way as a general meeting of

, a a । rary Association! Yet there were the common concerns, both arge and small, just as there are among us in N.L.A.

It will be a busy and significant Association meeting at Ely .‘..this has

en a busy and significant year.

I'll see you in Ely!

NEVADA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION CONVENTION, 1966 Coordination Among Nevada Libraries

Welcome to the Nevada Library Association Convention to be held in Ely, Nevada on October 21, 22, and 23- Our theme is coordination and coopera tion among Nevada libraries. The Nevada Council on Libraries has been gathering information about our libraries for some eight months. The Council will present to the convention its findings and recommendations

to ask, at that time, for our support as the state professional association of librarians. The Council wants our questions, recommendations and sug

gestions for any changes in their recommendations which we feel are neces sary for their final report to the Governor and the State Legislature at the 1967 legislative session. You will receive a summary report of their findings, we hope, a week to ten days before the convention. Please read this report and be ready with your questions, suggestions and recommenda

tions at the convention. Please bring the council's report with you as there w ill be very few extra copies at the convention its e lf.

Our pre-registration fee is $2.00; for those who register at the convention it will be $3.00. Nevada Library Association dues can be paid at the convention also. Please consult NEVADA LIBRARIES for the schedule of dues. Please make your own motel reservations. Enclosed is a list of the motels, their prices, and a map showing their locations. The registration blank lists the registration fee, the breakfast meetings of the various NLA sections, the banquet, and the tour of the Kennecott Copper Plant and Mine. If you have ever had a desire to wear a tin hat, here is your chance. The tour of the mine and plant should be very interesting, especially if you remember to wear comfortable shoes. PLEASE FILL OUT THE REGISTRATION BLANK AND RETURN WITH YOUR CHECK OR MONEY ORDER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

The major meetings will be held in the White Pine High School auditorium gymnasium where the exhibits also will be found. The auditorium is half a

block west of the Park-Vue Motel which is listed on your map. As you can see, there are several of the motels within walking distance. The enclose price list names the more suitable hotels and motels. Make your room reser vation quickly since it is the deer hunting season. The telephone number prefix for the motels and hotels has been changed and is now 289. The rest

of the numbers remain the same.

Your registration card and meal tickets will be held for you at the.regis tration desk in the foyer of the White Pine High School auditorium in your

convention packet. The registration desk will be open from 9 a- m- f°

2 p. m. Friday, October 21 and from 8 a. m. to 12 p. m. Saturday, Octo er

I hope to see you all at the convention and I am sure that this will be on of the most rewarding we have ever had.

Mr. Carrol 1 Russel 1, speaking for the Southern district of NLA, moved that all meetings during the convention be recorded, and tapes given to the secretary $0 that an official Proceedings of the conference could be sent to the membership

After general discussion, the motion was approved with the understanding that the proceedings would be tape recorded and then edited in order to presentan accurate account of official business, rather than a verbatim report.

Mr. Gardner, chairman of the Exhibits Committee, announced that the ex hibits were open, and that the exhibitors would be offering a hospitai ity hour as well as prizes to those attending.

Mr. Heron introduced Mrs. Portia Griswold, Convention Chairman.

The first general session was adjourned.

Final business session, Saturday, October 23, David Heron presiding:

Mr. Heron introduced Dr. Edward Wight, who summarized the afternoon sessions of the trustee and the public library sections. Following Dr. Wight, Mr. Heron

presented Mr. David Loertscher, who summarized conference activities of the school library section.

Mr. Heron then called upon outgoing section chairmen to introduce their successors, who in turn presented their officers. He then turned the meeting over to Mrs. Porray^ incoming association president.

Mrs. Porray presented some committee chairmen, and reported that a study would be made of the present committee structure before attempting to complete her appointments. She then thanked all those who had worked to make the I965 con

vention a success.

New business brought before the membership by Mrs. Porray consisted of a motion by Mrs. Griswold to amendment the bylaws, Article 3, Section 1, to read:

'That the Board of Trustees shall determine the time and the place of the annual meetings two years in advance.0 After discussion the motion was carried.

Mrs. Porray announced that the Board of Trustees had approved, in principle, the seeking of foundation or other unspecified funds to support the Union List of

Nevada Manuscripts. She also reviewed the prior evening's meeting at which Mr. Armstrong presented the project.

Mr. Tom Harris proposed an amendment to the bylaws by which the method of nominating officers would be changed to allow for nominations at large. After discussion, Mrs. Porray announced that a committee would be appointed to study possible changes in the nominating procedure. Mr. Harris concurred with this act i on.

Mrs. Porray announced the Board of Trustees had accepted an invitation to hold the I966 convention in Ely.

Mr. Barney Cannon, incoming chairman, NALT, proposed the following resolution: That this body extend to all the outgoing officers of the library association3 vote of appreciation for the splendid work they’ve done while serving in their

various capacities.

The resolution was adopted, followed by adjournment of the meeting.

Respectfully submitted,

Barbara J. Mausetn Secretary

CONVENTION COPY

NLA members will again have the opportunity to meet and to work with national figures from the library field when they gather in Ely October 21-23, for the I966 state association convention.

Principal speakers will include Miss Phyllis Maggeroli, Special Assistant for

Program, ALA; Judge Story Birdseye, President, American Library Trustee Assoc iation (ALTA); and Joseph F. Shubert, Ohio State Librarian.

Miss Maggeroli, who will conduct a workshop and present a history of library- community studies for the Public Library Association of Nevada (PLAN) was named to her present position in 1962. Prior to the appointment she served for four years as a consultant for the Library-Community Project at ALA headquarters; as a consultant on adult education for the Illinois State Library, and in various capacities in public libraries. She received her library degree from the University of Illinois Graduate School of Library Service.

Judge Birdseye is the president of the King County Library, Seattle, Washington; judge or the Superior Court, State of Washington, and a long-time worker for

library legislation to benefit all libraries. His service to the libraries of Washington, as an individual and as a member of the state library association, is a continuing one. His current position, and his judicial background, make’

him an ideal person to conduct the workshop and program meetings for NALT, at the convention. The theme for trustees: Libraries in the legislative process.

Joe Shubert is well-known to Nevada but a short sketch of his activities is not amiss. From 1959-1961, he served as the Nevada State Librarian and, during this time, worked toward acceleration of public library development, and the partici pation in federal library programs. He then accepted an appointment as Assis tant Director, Office of International Relations, ALA, and spent his time hurt

ling out and about in the United States and other nations, promoting the cause of international understanding and library development. September 1, he became

the Ohio State Librarian and, still a Nevadanat heart, will be present in Ely to deliver the banquet address.

School library program participants have not yet been announced, but material concerning interlibrary coordination, and the various titles of the ESEA and

LSCA acts

w ill

be considered.

Mrs C'Ceal Coombs, who keynoted the NLA trustee's round-up at the Tonopah con vent ion, received nationa1 recognition at the 1966 ALA conference, when she was awarded’a Trustee Citation. In presenting the award, comment was made concern

ing Mrs. Coombs' "...wise exercise of political acumen in development of li braries throughout the State of Washington" and for ..."informed, effective, and outstanding work for libraries at all levels..

WHICH REMINDS ME— October 18 is ALA MEMBERSHIP DAY — the goal: 35,000 members To be current for January I967, an October enrollment is recommended. IBM cards on file at FSD indicate that Nevada membership stands at a not-so-great total of 63 (and P-slips reveal a 247 total for NLA).

There will be a membership exhibit at the Ely convention, and all librarians, trustees, Friends (and exhibitors) are urged to visit the display, pick up the

informational materials available, and take advantage of the fact that there will be two ALA representatives with whom to talk and to question. They are Miss Phyllis Maggeroli, Special Assistant for Program, ALA; and Judge Story

Bi rdseye, president of the American Library Trustee Association. The two will participate in section programs for the trustee and the public library sections

at the conference.

Membership offers a choice of two division memberships, membership publications, national conferences, conference proceedings, information, advisory and consult ant services, voting, office and committee rights, group insurance, a major medical plan, the efforts of the ALA Washington office working toward passage of

legislation benefiting all libraries, an ALA membership card, and Membership Directory listing.

And yet another building project.' Humboldt County Library (Winnemucca) received approval last month from the Max C. Fleischmann Foundation of Nevada for a $319,334 grant to help offset costs of constructing a new headquarters building. Total project cost is esti

mated at $238,196, and includes county support in the forrnX of a site, and a federal grant from LSCA funds.

Board of Trustees chairman Mrs. Olive Braswel1; Leland Berk,

trustee-building committee chairman, and members Mrs. Grace Brown,

Mrs. Mary B. Hornbarger, and Mrs. Blair Read are now involved in

planning a building that will provide the means to continue the pro- gressive service program now given by Mrs. Rosemary Miller, Librarian^

and her staff at headquarters and from three stations. The county library system is also in its second year of a bookmobile demonstration, using the state-owned vehicle.

Down the road a piece, in Minden, hopes have been raised that a January I967 grand opening can be held of the first Douglas County Library,

according to Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Another news note on the new building is that the children's room will be furnished by

a local rancher in honor of his pioneer grandfather.

Friends of the Library have maintained a busy schedule of events in support of the library, the most recent being a book fair held at the Douglas County Fair. Nearly 2,000 volumes are stored in the vaults of the neighboring courthouse, along with 90 albums of records, awaiting the move into the new library head quarters.

The Churchill County Friends of the Library did it again.' Another trophy was awarded the hardworking group for its entry in the annual Labor Day parade in Fallon. The prize-winning float is shown below in all its gory glory.

trustee to succeed Mrs. Margery Andes, whose term expired.

Red roses and a scroll, commemorating 20 years of service to the City of Las Vegas, was presented to Mrs. Lillian Fleury, by City Manager Art Trelease and Assistant City Manager Bi 11 Adams. This would be a special occasion at any time, but this was super-special, as the presentation was made at Lillian's home, where she was recovering from a seige of illness. Congratulations to Lillian and to Las Vegas for recognition of responsible service to the community

Personnel changes in the Humboldt County Library system include the employment of Mrs. Shirley Smith as branch assistant, Getchell Mine Branch; and Mr. Frank A. Stinton, as branch assistant of the newly-opened McDermitt Branch

Library. The McDermitt facility replaces the Orovada branch which closed July!. The community at Orovada continues to be served by bookmobile.

AROUND THE STATE

ATTENTION, SCHOOL LIBRARIANS — A report from Bob Lloyd, Consultant-Coordinator, T itle 2, ESEA:

Nevada's tentative allocation for library resources and instructional materials under Title 2 of the Elementary

and Secondary Education Act for fiscal year I967 is

$221,159. This is an increase of $9,396 over the 1966

cation. State T itle 2 committees w ill be meeting during the

month of October to help establish a true relative need index x. upon which future district allotments may be made.

Burnell Larson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, has appointed Monsignor Donald F. Carmody, Diocesan Superintendent, to the

Title 2 Review Committee as a representative of private schools in the

State* fflarles Knight, principal of Southside Elementary School, Elko has

been appointed to replace Mr. Larson on the Committee for Fund Allocation and Project Review.

Librarians are advised to addTitle 2 materials which were purchased in I966 to their inventories as soon as possible, in order to be ready for evaluation re ports and preparation of I966-I967 projects.

A standardized school library form which w i11 include information needed for

which T'Ve 5 reP°rts’ surveys and other reports is needed. A report wh ch could be completed once a year, eliminating duplication of effort on the

Frederick C. Gale, Assistant State Archivist, is a nominee for the I966 Distinguished Service Award by the Society of American Archivists. Results will be made known at the annual meeting of the Society in Atlanta, Georgia, in early October. (See photograph below)

Activities carried out by the Division of Archives between 0ctober_J965 - August I966 included the inventorying of over

15,000 separate documents; researching of over 200 requests by mail and telephone, and direct service to some 50 visitors.

Fred's anything but tranquil schedule entails guest appearances at meetings throughout the country, and publishing in various media. All Nevada libraries would do well to secure a copy of Your Nevada state archives, available from the Division's office in Carson City.

Bryan Schwark, LSCA graduate library school scholar ship recipient, writes that he looks forward to his return to Nevada and to his library future in the State. He is enrolled at the University of Wisconsin, and will complete his graduate degree work in June,

I967. Not only is Bryan h ittin g the books as a stu dent, but he is also working part-time as a teaching assistant.

Ruth Donovan, who taught the three-week, three- credit summer course in General reference and biblio graphy at the University of Nevada, Reno, announced that the enrollment of 25 included a majority of public

library personnel, but that some school librarians and

FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN'S DESK

As a follow up on recommendations made at the NLA district meetings in September and at the October NLA convention, Bob Lloyd and I have been draft

ing a tentative proposal for the use of LSCAA Title III Interlibrary Cooperation funds to study the feasibility of a statewide technical services

center to be put into operation with a combination of ESEA, and local library subventions if the study brings forth an affirmative decision.

You will receive copies of the proposal and committee assignments before too long. PLEASE READ and be prepared to go to work!

A committee of librarians from all types of libraries will work with a systems analyst to determine what should be included in the system, and the approximate costs of using data processing equipment on a shared time bas i s .

To 'Cutter', or not to 'Cutter'? Do we paste the pockets in the front or in the back? And I hardly dare mention Dewey vs. L.C., but I suspect the

question will come up. Momentous decisions will be battled out in that committee. Be as flexible as you can.

Another committee will explore the desirability of establishing a separate agency under the Interlocal Cooperation Act, to govern the center in a manner similar to that of a library board, or a school board. Still other

committees will study financing and location of the center.

It will be extremely exciting, demanding, and promising. Book catalogs, union catalogs, interlibrary communications systems, literature searches

it is all possible, but can we have all that and a relatively low per volume cost? The study w ill determine.

Planning funds were also released for Title IV, Institutional Library Services and Library Services to the Physically Handicapped, including the partially sighted. No matching funds are in sight, but one hopes.

In Nevada Library Notes, January, 1962, I rated the front page (with a picture that I would still be using if I could fool anyone) and this message: "When together, we have made gains, small and great, which im prove library facilities and services, we will congratulate each other. Meanwhile, I am both humble and proud of the privilege of being your State Librarian."

It has been a privilege held dear, and together we have made great gains. The sun has shone on our efforts, we have been blessed with significant

help, but most important of all, the people in the library profession, people wanting library services, and "Friends of Libraries" have been

ready to work and to make wise use of the assistance given us. I woul like to congratulate, and to thank, a wonderful staff at the Nevada State

Library and in the libraries of the State.

I would also like to say "thank you" to Grant Sawyer for giving me this privilege in 1962, and to Governor Paul Laxalt not only for retaining me in his administration, but, more importantly, for his genuine interest i

good libraries for the people of Nevada.

NLA CHALLENGED TO GROW

Banquet speaker Joseph F. Shubert, former Nevada State Librarian, spoke of the ways in which 1 ibrarians, trustees, and others, through 1 ibraries and library resources, can "punch holes in the darkness" -- in conclusion, he stated:

"And, we can punch some holes in the darkness of an inertia or apathy that has cheated Nevada people from access to books and knowledge in their libraries. It will require some hard work, but the possibilities are there, and the need is evident.

NLA has accomplished a good dead, but it is not the action organization lit should be. It hasn't flexed its muscle. It has left too much to the

State Library... Now is the time for NLA to grow up, and start punching some holes of i ts own ."

REPORT ON UNION CATALOG OF NEVADA MANUSCRIPTS-- Robert D. Armstrong

Just about a year ago, at the convention in Tonopah, I proposed to a small group of librarians that we cooperate to compile a union catalog of manuscripts relating to Nevada. The suggestion was well received, and the Executive Board of NLA subsequently voted to request foundation funds to support the project. The request, too, was well received, but the

foundation had unfortunately committed itself fully for the year, and the request was denied. We were told, though, that a similar request would be entertained in a year or so if by that time other money had not been found. A small travel fund was in fact granted by the Graduate Dean at the University of Nevada. It was not large enough so that all that needed doing could be done, but it helped. It made possible, for instance, trips to repositories in Nevada, California, and Utah; other trips in Nevada and California were made even after the funds ran out. In addition, descrip tions of manuscripts of Nevada interest were gleaned from published sources, so that by last summer preparation of a preliminary version of the catalog had begun. We had hoped to have it ready for distribution at

this convention, but the publication process is a slow one and it will probably be next month or possibly December before the volume is ready.

In its preliminary form the catalog contains, descriptions of over 1200 manuscripts and manuscript collections held by 59 repositories in 22 states and the District of Columbia. There is a 40 page index of personal names, places, and subjects. To help cover publication costs

we went again to the University's Graduate Dean. We were also assisted

by the Friends of the University Library.

There will be no financial return from the catalog. The plan is to

distribute it free of charge to libraries, archives, and historical societies that have or may have Nevada manuscripts. Along with each copy will go a plea to recipients to report to me any unrecorded manuscripts so that they may be included in a later, more or less definitive edition.

1 have made up a tentative mailing list, but those present who would lie to receive a copy for their libraries should leave their names with me anyway, just in case, by an oversight of some kind, their names were let

off the list.

1200 entries gathered together in a year's time with practicallyTM

money is not too bad. But more can be done and more should be done if we are to discharge our responsibilities to Nevada scholarship. If sei ious work is to be done in Nevada history scholars and students must knowwere the sources of that history can be found. 1200 entries may sound likes

lot, but I suspect that that number can be at least quadrupled if the project is adequately financed. Many repositories in Nevada, including

the largest one, are either poorly represented or not included at al

The second theme: "Reading is what's happening" gives libraries a special opportunity to tell their story, to project to their public "this

is what's happening in your library, and in those you don't know about", ranging from pri vate collections in the home, to the most advanced, coordinated research system.

Within the framework of the over-all effort to bring about a "better-read, better-informed

America," the NLW Steering Committee also iden tified two specific areas to be emphasized during the coming program-year:

the recruitment, education and effective placement of professional librarians, to help offset critical staff shortages in the nation's libraries; and

the concept of total community access to a variety of reading resources, for information as well as enjoyment.

SILVER CIRCLE LIBRARY SERVICE

Recognition of the needs of library users and in creased usage of library materials resulted some

weeks ago in an agreement for extended library

service to the residents of five Western Nevada count i es.

The reciproal borrowing agreement entitles regis tered library patrons of Douglas, Lyon, Ormsby, Storey and Washoe public libraries to borrow books directly from any other public library

within the Silver Circle, by presenting a valid 1 ibrary card.

Books borrowed from one library may be returned to another, which is a boon to the mobile popu lation of the area. Audio-visual and other special materials must be returned to the issuing agency. All loans are subject to the regulations

of the lending library.

Coordinator of the program, which is on a trial basIs> is Bill Andrews, Washoe County Librarian.

FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN'S DESK

In January, a planning study on the fe a s ib il ity of a statewide technical services center

to serve al 1 1 ibraries of the State was announced. Study committees have been working and the report of the technical committee will be found elsewhere in this issue. In essence the committee has found that such a center is feasible and that it could provide supplemen tary services enabl ing each participating 1 i- brary to improve its service to its clientele.

A second committee studying the administrative

organization of a statewide center has deter

mined that it is possible under the Interlocal

Government Act (NRS 277.070-277.180) to

establish through contracts and by-laws a re

sponsible and representative body to conduct

the business of the center with adequate pro

visions for accounting, auditing, and policy

decisions. Members of the committee were Beda

(ornwa] 1 ’ Chairman, Las Vegas Public Library Board; S. William Davis

Chairman, Churchill County Library Board; Ernest Hawes, Media Specialist Clark County School District; Robert L, Lloyd, Consultant, Library and

title II, ESEA, State Department of Education; and John J. Sheehan Legal Research Assistant, Office of the Attorney General. Ernest Hawes was chosen chairman of the committee.

The committee recommended as first steps the establishment of an adminis trative board representing all libraries electing to participate in the Ser^C!S °f the center- From the administrative board an executive board would be elected composed of seven voting members and three ex-officio

mem ers as follows: three public school people, two public 1ibrary members

one university member, and one-at-large for the voting members. The ex- officio members would be the director of the center, a representative of the

Attorney General's office, and the State Librarian.

The finance committee has not been se1ected,awaiting the time when information

°n estimated costs and estimated revenue from ESEA and LSCA could be avail able. Information now provided by the technical committee will enable this committee to become active, using estimated revenues. Included on this committee, among others, will be representatives of school districts sub-

ing an ESEA proposal for funds, representatives of the State Department Education, and the State Librarian.

The next step will be to present the findings of the study committee to the ibranes.and school districts of the State and to schedule evaluation

wi.h 9S In °rder that 1 lbraries and school districts may determine if they cent ° Fart|c'Pate on a cost sharing basis. It will be necessary for the Stat!rp?PeraJ|iOn tO conform to the intent of the ESEA and LSCA Acts and the

ans developed for use of funds under the statutes-.

the t °k . em' Additionally, it wi1 1 serve to explain the decision made by

\ er libraries of the State may be of some interest and

echnical committee not to consider the CPC as a base for establishing lie new center.

(21)

THE COOPERATIVE PROCESSING CENTER (CPC) was o rg a n ize d in March 1959, w ith six participating libraries expending a total book budget of $6,000 through the center. During the first 16 months of its operation, the CPC processed an average of 275 books per month, including some items acquired as gifts and some recataloging of books belonging to member libraries.

The center was supported by payments from member libraries and an LSA subsidy. By the 1965-66 fiscal year, the number of member libraries had increased to ten although two of the original members dropped out. Book

budgets expended through the center had increased to $29,560, and the average number of books processed per month had increased to 997. LSCA Title I provided $23,033 in support of the center and payments from member libraries supplied $7,390. During the biennium, 1964-1966, members paid

a total of $12,390, at an average cost to the 1 i brar i es of $1.19 per volume.

The expenditures charged to CPC did not include all costs of operating a center. No charges were made for space rental, heat, lights, telephone, postage, or printing. Salaries of staff providing auxiliary services such as typing pool for business correspondence, business administration, stock and mail clerk, or for the director who supervised both the State Library technical services and the CPC were not charged to the center. The total cost per book would be more nearly $5,00 per volume had all of these necessary expenses been charged.

In fiscal 1967, book budgets of member libraries have increased to nearly $50,000, and in fiscal 1968 there will be another substantial increase.

CPC must be moved from the State Library for several reasons: (1) if the present space could be made available, it could not handle the increasing volume; (2) the center cannot extend services needed by new libraries that should be able to receive service; (3) the demands of the center are encroaching on other service responsibilities of the State Library; and

(4) LSCA Title 111, Interlibrary Cooperation, provides an opportunity for coordinated technical services available to all types of libraries. Title I funds now being used to support the center will be released for other public

library improvement purposes including the purchase of sorely needed books.

Although CPC has been subject to the same problems as other libraries: crowded quarters, staff turnover, low ratio of titles to volumes purchased, and a volume insufficient to warrant the use of more sophisticated card reproduction and other equipment, the services provided have justified the cost. Member libraries have been able to release work room space to house books ready for service to the public, and to release library staff for services to users and to more careful book selection. The cataloging and processing have been more standardized and, in most instances, of better quality than individual libraries could have achieved without the employment of specially trained staff. Member libraries have been released from the need to purchase expensive equipment and have received larger discounts on book purchases.

As NEVADA LIBRARIES goes to press, the State Library has been informed that

a part of its present space must be vacated to house the expanded Supreme

Court requiring that the library rent additional space for live storage.

It is anticipated that the Court and the Attorney General's offices will be

moved to new quarters in 1969 thus restoring lost space to the library and additional space in which the library may bring all of its collections and

divisions back under one roof. Such measures were inevitable as space nee of government agencies and departments reached the present critical stage.

LSCA Budget Request

The Library Services and Construction Act Amendments of 1966 authorized significant increases in Titles I and II, and authorized three new titles Due to economic conditions brought about by the war in Vietnam, the Bureau of the Budget has recommended smaller appropriations than those authorized as shown below:

STATEWIDE TECHNICAL SERVICES PLANNING STUDY, TECHNICAL COMMITTEE: Pre 1im i na ry report ---- Donald W. Johnson

Pursuant to the recommendation of the Nevada Council on Libraries that a state-wide processing center be established for all types of li braries, early this year a Statewide Technical Service Planning Study

was organized. Three committees were appointed: Organizational, Financial, and Technical. The following persons were appointed to the Technical Committee:

Mr. Charles Atkins, Director, Clark County District Library; Mr. Donald Brigham, Librarian, Southern Nevada Vocational

Training Center;

Mr. Kenneth Carpenter, Assistant Director of Libraries,

University of Nevada;

Mrs. Alene DeRuff, Librarian, Reno High School;

Mr. Harold Erickson, Librarian, Nevada Southern University; Mr. Donald Johnson, Director, Technical Processes Div. and

Cooperative Processing Center, Nevada State Library (Cha i rman);

Miss Davis McDaniel, Director, Elko-Lander-Eureka Library System (Secretary);

Mr. Clark Wong (alternate), Assistant Librarian, Reno High Schoo1.

In addition, the Committee had the advice and counsel of Mr. Donald Hudson, Supervising Data Processing Systems Analyst, Central Data Pro cessing, State of Nevada. Other experts were called in from Bro-Dart

(Alanar), Science Press, and IBM during the Committee's deliberations. The Technical Committee recommends that the first-year goals should

2. Cataloging and classification;

3- Physical preparation;

B. To begin developing a union catalog of the bibliographic

resources of the State with the intention of eventual pub 1 i cat i on.

As circumstances and demand permit, other services are to be added. These might include comp iling and publishing book catalogs and a union list of serials in Nevada libraries, instituting automated circulation

control proceduies for member libraries desiring them, constituting a clearing-house for interlibrary loans, establishing a communications net work among member libraries, and such other services desired by members when and as feasible for the center.

Th_e Technica1 Committee believes that it is feasible to establish

such a center to beg i n operat ions in the summer of 1967, providing the services listed in A and B (above). The Committee's studies postulated

an output of 125,000 volumes at a vo1umes-to-tit1es ratio of 10 to 1. Although final determination of fee schedules is not within the province

01 this Committee, the Committee is agreed that charges ought not be

solely on a per-volume basis and that, judging by the Committee's studies,

members might be charged a base rate of $1.60 per title but only 65<J per added copy when ordered at the same time, and 2% of the discount allowed by vendors should be reserved to the center to defray the costs of bill ing. All books should be shipped and billed to the center, with the center invoicing member libraries for both books and services at time of shipment to them. No book selection is to be done by the center.

In cataloging, Library of Congress practice is to be followed, sup plemented when necessary by application of the Anglo-American Cataloging

—.Ies• ln classification, the Committee recognizes that LC is superior

as a book classification, is more economical to use, and is better suited to machine manipulation than Dewey, besides possessing a number of other advantages. For these reasons, the Committee believes that Nevada li-

rarians would be well advised to give very serious consideration to canging to LC, particularly since such a change could be more easily effected now than when collections are larger. Still, each library has a right to make its own decision, and so the center w ill offer members

t eir choice of either LC or DC classification. Books classified by ewey will be given the DC number assigned by the Library of Congress

plus the first letter of the author's surname. Books not cataloged by LC, or not assigned such numbers, will be provided with necessary origi nal cataloging and classification in accordance with these principles.

The proposed center will require about 5,000 square feet of space. Initially, procedures will be essentially manual, but the center can

begin phasing into automated procedures in July, 1968, by which time an IBM 360/40 will be available for the center's use in Carson City and

another will be located in Clark County which might be made available to the center. The systems design should by that time be well-enough developed to permit the beginning of automation. Computer rental on a shared-time basis w ill approximate $1,500 per month and w ill permit greater productivity and economies of operation exceeding this amount in value, besides affording possibilities of additional services. Expenses are to be met by project grants under ESEA and LSCA, together with the aforementioned service charges. By the beginning of the fourth year of operation, it is hoped and expected that the center will be self-sup porting to the extent that it can survive without subsidy.

THE SPIRIT OF '73

-----Dav i d W. Heron

ALA Councilor for Nevada

It was predictable that somewhere in the upper reaches of the Mississippi watershed, where the corn belt meets the Bible belt, there would arise a reaction of righteousness, revulsion, and wrath when the Executive Board

of ALA announced that the 1973 national convention would be held in Las Vegas.

The Plea for Prairie Piety presented at the Midwinter session was de cisively squelched, and the Council action vindicated somewhat left- handedly by the ramblings of a syndicated columnist named Incontinent

or some such in one of the library bulletins published in an urban area, but widely read on the plains.

In all probability, the impact of the Incontinent's spontaneous sword dance and of the Hoosier Fireside Tours of Sodom and Gomorrah will not be too great in as sophisticated a crowd as the ALA.

Nevertheless, if we want to make that 1973 session a success, we will have to remember the Green Felt Jungle syndrome and do whatever we can to make everyone who comes feel justified in supporting the Board's

dec i s i on.

This won't be too d iffic u lt. To anyone attending the ALA conference at his institution's expense, I doubt that the crap table and the "topless"

will be as significant as a good room at a reasonable rate, good meet ing places, and decent food. These Las Vegas can supply, and, of course --like Miami Beach, Atlantic City, New Orleans, San Francisco and any

other tourist metropolis --less basic amenities for those who have the time and inclination for them.

The Nevada Library Association is going to be spread pretty thin, but there are a number of ways in which we can make 1973 a memorable con ference, and the Lily-White Backlash provides the sort of stimulus to which Nevadans generally react with the vigor of the Frontier West.

Any questions? --Ed.

Nevada schools, during the past two years, have obligated a total of $436,335 Title 11, ESEA funds for school library resources and instructional materials. Approximately $35,000 of this amount has been obligated for administrative expenses at the State level. The remainder is set for expenditure by schools,

Last year, Nevada schools expended over half of their Title II a1 locations on audio-visual materials. The bulk of the expenditures this year will be for

1 ibrary books.

Congress authorized the five-year Title II program in recognition of the importance of adequate school library resources and instructional materials

and their necessity in supporting a strong educational program. The number one p rio rity in Nevada's T itle II program is elementary schools which lack the minimum basic school library resources collection as defined in A.L.A. standards and State recommendations for library development.

The ultimate goal of Nevada's Title II program is to help bring all of the school libraries up to A.L.A. and State—recommended standards.

Title I I funds do not have to be matched, but they may not be used to supplant local support for library and instructional materials.

Last year, four Nevada schools received Title II grants of $2,578.24 each to improve their school library programs. Pershing County Junior-Senior High

School, Lovelock; Ruby S. Thomas Elementary School, Rex Bell Elementary School and Walter Bracken Elementary School in Clark County are the project schools,

The Pershing County project establishes an audio-visual materials center which is located in the library. This p roj ect demons t rates utilization of space to

convert a library into an instructional materials center, and utilization of materials to enrich curriculum.

The Ruby S. Thomas project demonstrates the effect upon learning of resource materials that have been specifically selected by a specific staff to meet its specific curriculum purpose. This project is social studies-oriented.

The Rex Bell project was designed to strengthen areas of weakness in the materials center collection and to coordinate the use of the center with class' room learning. Social studies, music and art are the subject areas of concen

tration.

The Walter Bracken project has established a model social studies viewing lab oratory within the school's instructional materials center.

Arrangements for visits may be made to these project schools by contacting the principals:

The impending threat of automation.

The knowledge explosion has rung the knell Of the library we knew so well.

Where once we browsed 'midst dusty shelves Soon now will frisk electronic elves,

And 'stead of the librarian's smile

We'll greeted be by cold steel file

Or bank of buttons and flashing lights

And high-speed p r i n te rs--what delights'. The librarian will not exist--

Information retrieval specialist Will be her future appelation

If she survives the conflagration.

But book readers should not despair

For books on. shelves will still be there, While those who have an urgent need

For maximum knowledge in minimum space, But I would feel much more at home Reading 'in person" some cherished tome.

The change from Dewey to Library of Congress classification at

the University of Nevada in Reno, or -- Good riddance to Dewey!

by Richard M. Palcanis

In December 1 965 , the authorities at the University of Nevada in Reno decided that the Library should change over to the Library of Congress classi

fication. It was hoped that in the future extra money would become available for reclassing the books remaining in Dewey.

There were two reasons for making the change. The first is that it is generally agreed among librarians that the LC classification is a more ration ally organized comprehensive and up-to-date system than the Dewey classifica tion. The LC system is also more efficient in that its notation is easier to read than Dewey and thus facilitates the shelving and location of materials. The users of the library would therefore be served better by the LC classifi cation.

The second and really compelling reason was that the LC classification is easier and more economical to apply. From 80 to 85 percent of the books pur chased by the University of Nevada Library have LC cards with usable LC call numbers printed on them. These are complete numbers which can be used as they are without further checking. In contrast to this, only one third to one half of the LC cards have suggested Dewey numbers and further work has to be done on these to supp1y author numbers and check for classification changes and shelf list conflicts. The difficulty of applying Dewey numbers was the major reason for using professional catalogers for LC copy work. The change to LC enabled us to reallocate LC copy work to subprofessionals and use professional catalogers for original work and revision and training. The change to LC and the accompanying reorganization of the Catalog Department resulted in an im pressive increase in efficiency and production. During the first six months of LC classification the average production per cataloger increased from 30 to 40 per cent.

We decided not to interfile the LC classed cards in the old dictionary Dewey public catalog. Instead we started a new public catalog for the LC classed books. The reason for this is that the Dewey catalog is full of errors and has insufficient references due to a long history of previous subprofes sional cataloging and we therefore did not want to continue its growth. The new catalog enabled us to make a fresh start without having to continually correct old errors. We set up new subject and name authority files for the new catalog so that all needed references would be supplied. Another reason for the new catalog was that it allowed us to use a divided catalog and adopt greatly simplified filing rules. We believe that such a divided catalogwith authors and titles in one alphabet and subjects in another is easier for the pub lie to use.

One would think that separate catalogs and two stack collections would cause much dissatisfaction among the library users. This is not the case at all. Since we started LC we have received few complaints from the faculty and students. It is working very well. We are quite happy with the change even though we might have to go for a long time with a divided collection until money is forthcoming for reclassification.

The State Library has several copies of the Fi1mstrip: Off and Running which is a 27 minute look at Title I of ESEA.

Nevada's natural heritage is considered in a recent bibliography prepared by Tina Bundy (former UN staff member) ^x

for the Foresta Institute, which is available for distribution to\ libraries. Titled "Annotated list of current books on rare and en-\

should prove useful in selection of materials. Order from: Foresta x. /

Actually, the library was designed to eventually become an information \ center which would house not only books and printed matter but also all \

the audio-visual materials as well. A small, separate room equipped with earphones for tape recordings or records will enable students to pursue an

independent course of study or an enrichment program. Students can also use it for pure enjoyment.

There is still a lot to be done, such as adding more audio-visual materials and equipment. We have purchased a few pieces of statuary and wish to add to them from time to.time. We also intend to have a good selection of reproduc tions of outstanding works of art which can be displayed and also be loaned toother classrooms or to individual students.

Fortunately there is room for expansion of shelving, as our total number of volumes should be greatly increased to provide library service that is up to standard. The increased circulation since we have moved indicates that the new library is beginning, at last, to take its rightful place as the center 0 learning for the entire school. Our enrollment of about 400 students had

een checking out an average of 700-800 books per month. In January this ■igure had jumped to 1155 and in February, the figure was 1415.

Also from Yerington is a report from Helen Whitacre, Librarian of the ermgion Intermediate School, about a progressive, new loan policy. Under n's p° icy, students may take film strips, film strip projectors and record-

9. °me ror overni9ht use. Helen writes that the cooperation of the students has been very gratifying, as has their interest in the new program.

Put

16,000 Authors On Your Reference Shelves Today

. . . and let Contemporary Authors be the authority for com plete and current bio-bibliographic details concerning them

IN THIS ISSUE

Page 45 46 50

Contemporary Authors now includes 16.000 writers. 12.000 of whom are in no other standard bio graphical reference. Therefore, personal and career information about the majority of today's writers can be found only in CA.

C ontemporary Authors includes the writers of nov els. poetry, plays, juvenile books, young adult books, and textbooks, as well as nonfiction writers in the fields of biography, history, social science, religion, sociology, psychology, popular science, and current events. Only writers on highly-technical subjects are excluded.

Contemporary Authors covers not only well-known writers but also those who arc lesser-known, since today's unknown writer is very often tomorrow's

headline maker. A case in point is William Manchester who appears in CA's very first volume, published in 1962.

Contemporary Authors is unique in its first-hand reporting of how a writer feels about his own work, the work of others, and the contemporary scene. In the SIDELIGHTS segment of the entry these observations more often than not reveal facets of character or personality that are exclusive to CA.

Contemporary Authors carries a complete bibilog- raphy of each author's published books. When information on new work is available, an entry on WORK IN PROGRESS gives the subject of the project, working title, publisher, and probable date ofpublication.

Annual subscription rates:

dues is paid as a year's subscription of annual membership Non-members $2.00 per year. Single to NEVADA LIBRARIES,

Sketches cover personal data such as pseudonyms, date of birth, birthplace, family background, education, politics, religion, present address, jobs held, military service, association memberships, awards, and honors, plus the unique material in Sidelights. Work in Progress. and Writings.

Recommended for all libraries by every major library review medium.

Unanimously praised by librarians, authors, publishers, and re searchers as the pacesetter in biographical reference books.

More juvenile and young adult authors in CA than in all other bio graphical reference works combined.

Published semiannually with 4,000 new, unduplicated author sketches added each year.

Cumulative author indexes appear in the final volume each year. The index in Volume 15 16. for instance, cumulates all entries from Volume 1.

Annual subscription price is $25,00, with substantially reduced rates on two-year, three-year, and four-year subscriptions.

FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN'S DESK

With the turning of a page on the calendar, and the beginning of fiscal 1968, public libraries in Nevada became a million dollar educational program. Budget schedules submitted to the Tax Commission and reports to the State Library show a total of $1 ,066,004 budgeted by local government for public libraries, as opposed to total expenditures by public libraries of $540,645 in fiscal 1966 -- a 97% increase in two

years. Congratulations are in order not only to librarians and library boards, but also to city and county governing bodies.

Planning grants under Title IV-A and B, LSCA, were

used to finance surveys by Publ ic Administration Service on 1 ibrary services to state institutions and to the physically handicapped. Mr. Robert Mullen, with

a background of experience based on a total institutional survey in Pennsylvania, will provide us with a report based on resources and needs of state institutions for library services to support educational and rehabilitation programs. A statewide council will consider the report and its recommendations in developing a proposed program for Nevada.

From prel iminary information gathered by Dr. James Gunderson, certain kinds of library services - talking books and talking book machines - for the physically handicapped may be offered without significant increases in funds. Cooperation among several agencies - Division of Services to the Blind, with offices in

Carson City, Reno, and Las Vegas; Books for the Blind and the Physically Handi capped, the regional depository in Sacramento; and the Library of Congress -

will bring books and machines to individuals who are el igible, without so much

as cost of postage.

The role of the libraries of the State will be that of making information about the program known to qualified people through personal knowledge'of the community and distribution of brochures. Mr. Mervin J. Flander, Supervisor, Division of Services to the Blind, will work with the state 1 ibrary agency in preparing the brochures. The qualifications are simple: "inability to read conventional

printed materials (with some degree of comfort and ease) due to a physical

handi cap."

NEVADA CENTER FOR COOPERATIVE LIBRARY SERVICES (NCCLS) is the name selected for the statewide technical services center by the Executive Board. Legal documents have been drafted and w ill be submitted to libraries and public agencies in

the near future. A budget was proposed by the Finance Committee, making use

of LSCA Title I I I and Title I funds, and revenue from service charges. The

budget is now in the hands of the Executive Board and at the State Budget Office for clearance on a revolving fund, and procedures for establishing the new

Program. All interested libraries have been sent preliminary information, and will have an opportunity to participate, with anticipated placement of first

orders early in August.

The fiscal year ended without an appropriation for 1 ibrary and educational

Programs, except for Continuing Resolution H.J. 652, with provision for funds at last year's level or the authorized amount, whichever is smaller, to expire on August 31. Prior to that date, Congress w ill complete the appropriation Process .

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE TO NLA

" R e v o 1 u t i o n z z 2a; z z dz z ce" i s

for the 1967 organized this vear h \ 5' he NeVada Edu«tional Media

It is a privilege to address this first message to the NLA membership as your president. I had really not planned to take office until October of this year, but Betty Porray's resignation has put me here somewhat ahead of time. I hope to be of some service to the Association during my term of office, and earnestly request suggestions, advice, criticism, and ideas about NLA matters from any of you.

We have a new, unprecedented feature planned for our annual convention this year. As you can see from Hal Erickson's report, the Nevada Educational Media Association (NEMA) is going to meet with us in a joint convention.

The benefits of this cooperative venture are potentially great. For one thing, more exhibitors will be attracted, some of whom would not normally attend an NLA convention. Also, librarians need to be aware of the new developments in glamorous audio-visual gadgets and systems, and the new ways

in which they are being used. Since the two associations have interests in common, proposals have been advanced toward a ffilia tio n of NEMA with NLA.

will be a matter for discussion at the convention.

We also hope to see the librarians from the two un versity campuses begin to

play a larger role in NLA, with the possibility of a new sect ion be ng formed,

Since many Friends of the Library groups have come into existence in Nevada, some of their representatives might get together at convention time, also, with a view toward a more definite role in NLA.

The hard working convention committees include the following:

Library service of high quality is essential to a great society, Our society is committed to equal educational opportunity to all, an enriched cultural

vigorous research, and lifelong learning. A prime instrument in attaining a high level of library service is cooperation... Cooperation flourishes best under these conditions: 1) When the primary responsibility of each library is respected; 2) When each library recognizes its obligation to the network of libraries; 3) When each library assumes its appropriate share of responsibility 4) When all concerned maintain an attitude of flexibility and experimentation; 5) When long-range goals have been defined and accepted... j-^g on]y limit to

The NRDS Library is a small U.S. Government activity, operated by the Space Nuclear Propulsion Office, Nevada Extension, NRDS, at Jackass Flats for the benefit of personnel engaged in technical work for the federal government.

Essentially restricted in its collections to astronuclear, aerospace, and other engineering disciplines, the library is not open to the public. How ever, special arrangements can be made for specific individuals where exceptional circumstance warrants.

In a letter from Mr. John P. Jewett, from the parent office, it is stated that the NRDS facility is desirous of cooperating with Nevada and other libraries in the exchange of information, to include interloan of unclassi fied technical books, papers, film, and microfilm data. Arrangements have already been made with the Clark County schools and other agencies to pro vide technical films for brief use. Understandably, it is preferred that

the films remain in the local area for quick retrieval.

Librarian Elaine Bickerstaff publishes a monthly newsletter, THE BOOKMARKER,

with the attractive masthead shown below. Newsnotes in the first two issues reveal that the library is changing from Dewey to L. C., and that

a paperback "stop and swap" collection is in use. A description of the library, complete with carpeting, soft chairs, and coral bookstacks, makes it sound most inviting, but the commuting problem must be terrific1.

LAS VEGAS' BLOOMIN' "TWIG"

--Gene Hotchkiss, Branch Librarian

Las Vegas Publi c Library

Free ice cream, maybe? A personal appearance of Batman and Robin? Tickets for rides at the Fun Fair? No? What then? Why did over 150 children stand in line for half an hour in the broiling Las Vegas sun on June 7th of last year? To hear a story, that's why'. To hear a

story in this day and age'. Move over you Oscars and Emmeys, make way for the "word" - it's story time! Those youngsters stood in line not

just that day, but every day of the six week summer reading program

which started that day and, which, coincidentally, was the "grand opening" of the first Las Vegas library branch. This branch was housed in a re

habilitated pet-shop so small that the library representative making the radio announcement of the opening felt compelled to add nervously, .

"Well, it's not so much of a branch, really - it's more of a twig. To her surprise (she expected to be fired immediately!), the name.caught on and the first branch of the Las Vegas Public Library situated in the Charleston Heights Shopping Center became - unofficially, anyway, -the

"Twig."

The "Twig" flourished! Children still flocked there, but adults

discovered it, too. It was "so convenient," it had "all the new books,' and one didn't have to "wait as long" for them as one did down town at the main library. And if the "Twig" didn't have something a patron wanted, an effort was made to get that something from the main library. Patrons appreciated this effort. They appreciated having a library - albeit, a "Twiq" - close by. They returned again and again, and they brought in

their friends, and soon the circulation was up over 200 - and on Saturday over 300, sometimes A00! By May of 1967, the "Twig" boasted a collection of 6,000 books, and a "regular" clientele who remained loyal in spite of day-long Saturday rock-n-roll sessions staged by the music store which was the "Twig's" right-hand neighbor, and the plethora of vociferous .

chatter emanating from the barber shop, its left-hand neighbor! At times -

stereophonic chaos! , About this time, another neighbor - the slot-car raceway across the

street - quietly folded leavina vacant a building three times as big as that housing the "Twig." The branch staff, already beset with space pro -

lems, and once again faced with the summer reading program and its.atten dant mobs and hordes, eyed the empty property covetously and sent in piteous pleas to their superiors. In a "cliff-hanging" finish, the larger

building became the new Branch. / The entire move took place within the span of a single.Satu y I

As necessary as it was to the story program, this extra space can hardly be considered a temporary boon for now the Branch will be able to grow and grow before it ever oitgrows its present quarters. Grateful

as they are, though, the branch staff (all two of them) have been caught occasionally peeking wistfully across the street at what used to be their "Twig" (and is now a Judo school!) But twigs must grow into branches, and Las Vegas has long been overdue for expansion of its library services.

AROUND THE STATE

INTERSTATE PROGRAM FOR LIBRARY SERVICE

Although not an official part of the ALA conference,

librarians from California and Nevada met to discuss

the current study that is being made under LSCA-Title

III, Interlibrary Cooperation, to determine if a con

tract for cooperative services is feasible between Lasseri\ County, California, and Washoe County. These counties form 'x

a natural geographical region, with Reno the base for business\ and shopping. Attending were B ill Andrews , Jane Howard, W ashoe;\ El I zabet h Hall um, Lassen; Mild red Heye r , Barbara Mauseth, Jo

Terry, NSL; David Heron, University of Nevada, Reno; and LouTse Stubblefield, Consultant, California State Library.

'x.

Individual membership

ShouId the project receive approval, Lassen will join with Washoe for refer- ence service, and will participate in the Silver Circle program, which in-

eludes reciprocal borrowing, possible film circuit membership, publicity and promotional material sharing, and other ventures. The study is being coordi nated by Louise Stubblefield and Jo Terry. Bill and Jo traveled to Lassen earlier this month to finalize planning, as an early fall deadline must be met.

AND, IN THE SILVER CIRCLE ---

Churchill County Library became the sixth member of the Silver Circle Library Agreement recently, as the cooperative program starts its

second year of operation. More and more western Nevada residents are taking advantage of the program, and tentative plans call for possible expansion of services to include membership in a film circuit. Reciprocal borrowing is themainstay of the Circle, which lists as member libraries, Churchill, Douglas, Lyon, Ormsby, Storey, and Washoe counties.

If the interstate project mentioned above is successful, Lassen County will also join.

AROUND THE STATE

Circus fans, world travelers, junior forest rangers, aquanauts and gold miners are raiding library shelves

for treasure in the form of books, with ransom to be paid at the end of the summer in reading program cer tificates, special films, and lots of ice cream. Press clippings and reports from the public libraries indi

that attendance at story hour, and sign-ups for the

annual reading program, show no signs of abatement. More and more of the libraries are happily and gratefully working with volunteers, Friends of the Library, and other organiza tions to make these events a truly community effort.

Friends groups are actively supporting libraries in many parts

of the State, and, again according to press clippings, seem to derive

fun as well as satisfaction from the various doin's. In Churchill County

the latest project for the F of L was a dance held at the fairgrounds.

Billed as a "multimedia happening" Mrs. Mary Louise Erb, president of the sponsoring group, described the event as "Guaranteed to be a total environment experience never before presented in Fallon." Note: The editor will welcome news from all 1 ibrary-affi1iated groups.-Ed.

In Winnemucca, Mrs. Rosemary M ille r, former Humboldt County Librarian, was elected president of the local Friends of the Library. In her acceptance address, Rosemary emphasized library legislation as a factor to be considered by the organization in the coming year.

Chester K. Davis will report to the Clark County Library District soon as Head, Technical Services. Prior to his move to Nevada, Mr. Davis held a similar position at Prescott College, Prescott, Arizona.

Mrs. Audrey Knightley is now serving as a member of the reference staff, part-time at Washoe County Library.

Another news note from Washoe states that the fourth level stack area has been remodeled to hold the combined genealogical collections of the county library, and that of the regional genealogical library of the LDS Church.

About 30 Nevadans were noted at the ALA San Francisco conference, and took the opportunity to welcome the delegates, informally, to Las Vegas in 1973, for the national convention. Be prepared -- they're coming!

SHOPPI'NG CENTER LIBRARY FOR LAKE TAHOE AREA

-----Yvonne Saddler, Douglas County Librarian

Last year, 103-year-old Douglas County had no library

at all. This year, we have two! July 22d was opening day for the new Lake Tahoe Branch Library, situated in the Round Hill Shopping Center, Zephyr Cove. The

facility will serve Douglas County residents and members of the Si1ver Circle.

Attractively equipped with coral shelving and dark brown/ \

coral carpeting, the branch had almost 2,000 volumes on opening

day,.with more on the way. The main library collection at Minden x. will be available to all patrons, and it is expected that a brisk x. intralibrary loan business will mark the success of the program.

Branch librarian is Mrs. Jeanne Hart, with Mrs. Ruth Pel 1 ett as night librarian and substitute. Jeanne holds a certificate from the University

of Wisconsin, and prior to moving to this area worked in libraries in Cali fornia and Arizona. Ruth has also had previous library experience so we are

feeling most fortunate in our staff. Library summer hours are 10a-5p, with winter hours to be established later.

Not only does Douglas County have two libraries, but two Friends of the Library groups; the re cently formed Lake Tahoe Chapter is headed by Mrs. Esther Ne i1 son. - Ed.

AROUND THE STATE

Clark County Library District recently moved into a 3,200 square foot shopping center location, and to celebrate, the recently organized Friends of the

Library sponsored an open house, with 1ibrary trustees and library personnel from the county as special guests.

The building houses a current collection of approximate1y'x 25,000 volumes, and the book tra ile r about another 4,000.

The mobile unit will be used as a traveling branch in various^ areas of the d is tric t. \

Char les Atki ns, librarian, reports that the library has a

... rather unlikely number of 1,313 registered borrowers... with a 'K

circulation rate of about 80 to 90 books a day." These figures, of \

course, deal with the way it was in the original quarters in the Airport ' Office Building!

A record collection has been started, and planned for the future is a film collection, foreign language materials, and other special collections.

At the moment, the library's Board of Trustees, and Charles, are putting in many man hours discussing a proposed building program that would result in a 50,000 square foot building, with a capacity for over 100,000 volumes.

The Incline Village Branch.of the Washoe County Library is offering summer hours for.the.first time, including evening hours. Until this March, the li brary, which is located in the elementary school, was a station library, and a bookmobile stop. Because of increased use of the facility, and through the cooperation of the Washoe County School District, Bill Andrews announced that the station collection and service hours would be increased, and its status

changed to a branch unit.

Residents of the area are also entitled to participate in the Silver Circle, and to.take advantage of the expanding program of the six member county libraries. Mrs. Audrey Anderson is branch librarian.

TAKE OFF WITH BOOKS

----- is the theme of the 48th annual celebration of

INTRODUCING

Pictures-On-File

Gale Offers A New Picture Service Priced For Widest Use By Small and Medium

Sized School and Public Libraries.

PICTURES-ON-FILE , a continuing picture service that provides a wide variety of illustrations on a sub scription basis, has been planned to meet the steadily growing demand in libraries and classrooms for illus trative material of high quality and broad scope

COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE AT LOW UNIT COST

The need for pictures in modern educational life is virtually limitless and with PICTURES ON FILE all public and school libraries —large, small, medium size —can now offer circulating picture materials to their patrons without a large expenditure of money or the addition of personnel.

PICTURES-ON FILE provides a wider selection of material on the subjects covered than most libraries have at their disposal, assigns subject headings, pro vides detailed captions, issues the materia! in a stand ard format adaptable to any use —and does it for only $72.00 a year —a fraction of what the cost would be to any single library which attempted to prepare similar materials.

100 SUBJECT UNITS TO BE ISSUED IN SIX MONTHS

To help meet the demand for high-quality pictorial material at once and to make the subscribing library s PICTURES-ON FILE collection as useful as possible as quickly as possible. Gale will issue in the last six months of 1967 a full year's service—one hundred subject units, each composed of a subject folder con taining eight picture plates having from i tr-8 illustra tions each, depending on the subject This accelerated program, augmented by materials to be issued quarterly in 1968. will provide a working basis for a highly-significant collection of picture materials.

IMPORTANT FEATURES

1. Plates are unbound, printed on heavj. high quality. 8'6’’ x If card stock with a glossy, soil-resistant finish.

2. Each unit is accompanied by a sturdy file folder imprinted with the name of the unit subject, which is also imprinted on each plate for fast and easy refiling. Depending on the facility, the file folder can be filed in a separate P-O-F file, integrated w-ith present picture files, kept in a

MEMO FROM RSD, NEVADA STATE LIBRARY 76

vertical file with clippings on the same subject, passed out for classroom or individual use, or utilized in any. other way desired.

3. Each plate carries an explanatory caption on the face of the print.

4. P-O-F illustrations can nearly always be used freely for reproduction in any manner, includ ing use on educational TV, since only an occa sional picture will be copyrighted.

5. As the collection grows, PICTURES-ON-FILE will provide at convenient intervals a detailed Subject Index of pictures in the series.

HISTORICAL AND MODERN APPROACH TO ILLUSTRATIONS AND SUBJECTS

Both historical materials—engravings, prints, paint ings. etc. — and modern photographs will be utilized. A few of the subjects to be covered in the first units are: Aircraft. Florida. Africa, Animals, Coast Guard, National Parks. Vietnam, Bridges, Arms and Armor, Biblical Lands. India. Costumes, Egypt, Farming, Flowers. Greece. Space, Indians, Inventions, Jets and Rockets, Negro History, Schools, Railroads, Ships, Sports. Submarines, Tools, and Weapons. Subscribers are urged to suggest other subjects which would be most useful.

IN FUTURE, TWENTY-FIVE SUBJECT UNITS EACH QUARTER

PICTURES-ON-FILE will be issued quarterly begin ning in 1968. Subscribers will receive regularly each quarter twenty-five separate subject folders contain ing eight plates each—up to 500 pictures in each quarterly mailing!

PICTURES-ON-FILE falls within the definition of items eligible for inclusion in subject proposals under ESEATitle II and NDEA Title III

Pictures-On-File—$72.00 per year (100 units)

Representatives of six western state li brary agencies met at the call of WICHE director of Special Programs, John M i nzter, at Jackson, Wyoming, on September 15, to discuss continuing education for library personnel in the states encompassed by

Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). Represented at the

meeting were Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming, with Washington and Oregon participating through a confer ence telephone hook-up.

The purpose of this meeting, third in a

series, was to establish the criteria for

employment by WICHE of a program director

whose office will 1) study the needs of the region for library education; 2) investigate existing programs; 3) develop programs to serve identified needs, and A) explore sources of financing the educational program.

In the initial planning stages, the 13 states comprising WICHE, or those need ing such programs, will share the expense of maintaining the office out of

federally financed library programs. It is anticipated that the workshops, seminars, institutes, or courses will be operational by 1970, with possible pilot programs established during the planning phase.

Western library personnel have worked for a number of years to interest WICHE in library education programs. That it finally came to pass is due largely

to the efforts and financial investment of the Wyoming State Library and Andy H..5her, Wyoming State Librarian. Educational programs will be geared to the needs of all types of libraries and all levels of training on a continuing

basis, anticipating the use of newer technology permitting libraries to organ ize and disseminate information in line with the needs of modern society.

Dr' Agnes Reagan, Executive Secretary of ALA's Library Education Division,

and Roy Minnis, Adult Education Specialist from the Denver regional office of the U. S. Office of Education, served as resource consultants. Dr. Rita Camp

bell! WICHE Commissioner from California and director of the Hoover Institute, was present as an observer and as one interested in library education programs.

The generous approval by the trustees of the Max C. Fleischmann Foundation of a $20,000 grant to the Nevada Center for Cooperative Library Services (NCCLS) insures a firm financial foundation for its initial year of service to 12 li

braries, and to such others as might wish to participate within the center's

capacity to handle additional volume. The planned use of Title I funds for the first year operation was precluded due to a regulation against merging of funds from two titles of LSCA.

Orders to the center are being processed and placed with vendors. Favorable discount arrangements have been made, with the best at 38% for trade titles, 15/o for short discount items, 3% on publ isher's 1 ibrary bindings, and 38% plus $1-25 for juvenile prebinds. An encouraging file of pre-cataloged packets is growing for use with the books as they are del ivered.

All is right with NCCLS despite the frustrations caused by slow appropriations and other obstacles and uncertainties. The patience of and cooperation by the

Participating libraries is deeply appreciated by the executive board and the center staff.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE TO NLA

We are about to experience, if all goes according to plan, a fine convention in

Las Vegas. May I urge all members to attend, and to take advantage of this

annual opportunity to renew acquaintances, meet new people, and, in general, communi cate with your colleagues. We hope that every library in the State will be opera ting with a skeleton crew, if at all, on October 13-1, because nearly all the staff

members will be enriching themselves in tellectually (while perhaps impoverishing themselves financially) at the convention.

Since much work is needed to renew progress

toward the goals of NLA, arrd most of thi-s work is necessarily carried on by committees,

NEVADA EDUCATIONAL MEDIA ASSOCI ATION CONVENTION

Mrs. 01 i ve W. Burt, the charming lady to your left, will be the featured speaker at the PLAN program session, Friday morning. As one who had the delightful fortune of listening to Mrs. Burt speak knowledgably and with great humor, can testify, this should prove to be one of the high

lights of the Las Vegas convention.

Her honors are many, her talents diverse, while her spirit and eloquence are seemingly unending. She organized the Utah Chapter, National Federa tion of Press Women, and served as president for

its first two years; she has been an active news paper woman most of her life; and through her community service to and her continued interest

in them, she has influenced an entire generation of young people.

Mrs. Burt will speak on problems facing a writer of books for young people in terms of our changes

soc i ety.

ran Indian lands and rights. The capture of several Bannock women by a group of whites led to the massacre of a white volunteer army at Pyramid Lake. A subsidiary plot tells of the romance of Julian Chadmore, from Boston, and Sarah Martin, a singer. Their story is presented before a background of

MOUNTAIN-PLAINS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION REPORT

NEVADA ASSOCIATION OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES - REPORT

-- Billie M. Polson M-PLA Delegate

The Mountain-Plains Library Association held its bi-annual convention on August 13, September 1 and 2, 1967 at the Hotel Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska. The keynote speaker was Dr. Carl F. Kraenzel, Professor of Sociology & Rural Sociology, Montana State University.

Dr. Frederick Wezeman, Director, Graduate School of Library Science, Uni versity of Iowa, spoke on "The Public Library of the Future."

The main theme of the convention was presentations from each of the member states: Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Utah and Wyoming, on the recent library developments in each state. Several unifying factors were apparent after all the presentations were

f i n i shed .

In each of the states within the last few years, surveys of library service were made under the auspices or instigation of the state library or the

state's library association. Most of the various states are involved in some form of regional cooperation - some with simply two or more counties within a region and others, Kansas in particular, have a state-wide plan

developed for strong regional cooperation.

Nevada is unique among the Mountain-Plains states with the Silver Circle's plan to include a Cal ifornia county within it. None of the other states are planning any sort of inter-state cooperation of this type - at least it was not mentioned at the meeting.

All of the states have new library buildings of one kind and another, but Nevada has had one of the strongest building booms of any.

As the representative from Nevada, I spoke of our library development over the past years: the Silver Circle, the new Clark County Library District, branch library development in Las Vegas, Reno and Douglas County, bookmo biles, sparse population and long distances, county regional developments, hopeful enlargement of the NLA with a University and College Section, etc.

I also showed pictures, paintings and floor plans of the new buildings within the State: Washoe Co., Douglas Co., Churchill Co., Carson-Ormsby, Clark Co. District, Sparks Branch of Washoe County, Las Vegas Branch, and Nevada Southern Library.

Among the business items considered at the convention business and board meetings were the following: A constitutional and bylaws change from a biennial meeting to an annual one, which was adopted; that the Executive Secretary of Mountain-P1 ains shall represent it to the Board of the Rocky Mountain Bibliographical Center for Research and that Mountain-Plains shall

continue its financial support of the Rocky Mountain Bibliographical Center; that the dues schedule, as approved by the M-PLA Executive Board, March 24,

1967, be adopted by the membership, and a change in the nomination struc ture of the Bylaws to conform with Article IV, Section I, of the Constitu tion having to do with the nomination of the offices of Vice-president, President-elect and Secretary, and dropping the election of the Executive Secretary which is an appointive position.

As State representative I tried to inform members and past members about the convention by letter. I was unable to attend the ALA Mid-Winter meeting.of the Executive Board in New Orleans and the Board Meeting held in Denver in March due to consideration of time and finance. I also attended a meeting at the convention of the Cooperative Summer Reading Program sponsored by M-PLA.

and also to encourage ah trustees,

AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION REPRESENTATIVE'S

REPORT

-- Lyd ia S. Malcolm ALA Representative

’ W'H C°ntinUe to suPPort libraries to the best

The annual meeting of the American Library Association was held in San

w irth SC?hJUne ’ 30th' — 15,5 in Library Manpower - Myth and Reality was the theme of the convention and as your ALA representative, I was in- Y

vited to be a group discussion leader. This involved much recommended read ing and research but was well worth the effort. There were about 45 in my

a X V T a!i’ part! Of the U-S-’ and from aH kinds of libraries as well as school and college administrators.

After general sessions of briefing, films and other media - the findings of these groups seemed to be that the crisis was not as critical as at first supposed but did still exist. However, the expert's opinions seemed to be that too many qualified librarians were still doing work that technicians and others without degrees could do equally as well - for example using a librarian with a 5 year degree to work at the circulation desk or typing

catalog cards simply because the policy called for it. Another suggestion was that librarians must be ready to use new tools to lessen the work load such as computers for keeping records of overdue books, etc. Librarians must also open up to other media and fields. The book must not be replaced

y the tape but should be used in conjunction with it.

The library school was blamed in most cases for its lack of progress, and

most groups felt that the subjects taught should cover the whole range of umanities plus a small knowledge of accounting and computing - leaving the

cataloging to a 2 year course for technicians. Many other tasks could be done through on-the-job training or short term courses. These may or may not be the sentiments of the membership-at-large of ALA.

I attended the membership meetings where again the vote to move the head

quarters to Washington, D.C. was bitterly discussed and vetoed. However,

t is will have to come up again as ALA must find new quarters, having out grown its present housing.

I also assisted in the Adult Services Booth at the conference by giving out literature and answering questions. Many of our Nevada people gave their time to helping in this manner and the knowledge will come in handy when ALA meets in Las Vegas in 1973•

I have enjoyed being Nevada's ALA representative and hope that I have added lustre and not tarnish to Nevada's prestige among librarians. Thank you for your confidence in electing me two years ago.

On recommendation of the Certification Committee, the Executive Board of NLA approved certification credit for workshops and in-service training courses sponsored by a recognized educational authority, if, after review by the Certification Committee, the course content, time schedule, quali fications of the director and resource consultants were found to provide equal benefits to public librarians as resident or correspondence study through a college or university.

It was recommended by the Nevada Council on Libraries in Nevada Libraries 1966 that boards of library trustees adopt the NLA certification plan, or

a higher standard, as a condition of employment in filling professional positions, and that priority for State grants-in-aid applications, when available, be given to libraries employing personnel in professional pos i ■ tions that met, or were actively working toward, the standard adopted.

MEMO FROM READER SERVICES DIVISION, NSL -- Joseph J. Anderson, Director

The best library is not effective unless its materials and its staff are moving. That's the "name of the game" at NSL. We are making every effort to reach all levels of government, from the Governor's office, the cabinet offices, legislative, judicial, and administrative agencies, with our pro grams of library service.

The months of June and July were a time of orientation and settling in for this writer. August saw the collection and organization of inputs for a Nevada union list of serials and periodicals, using the list from the Univer sity of Nevada (Reno) as base. All contributions have been posted to date. However, not all hoped for contributions have been received.

September saw us getting out a new subject-oriented bulletin, distributed to the agencies of State government, and also the establishment of the literature search and surveillance service -- a method of compiling and sifting infor

mation in whatever form, organizing and presenting it in a way tailor-made to the requestor's needs in scope, breadth and depth. This move is giving us

the chance to really interpret the collection, support our principal function, and allow us to be out on the frontier of our user's areas of interest, with

The NSL message has been presented to the assem bled teaching profession of Carson City-Ormsby County, and to the Governor's Cabinet meeting. We are actively seeking other forums in which we can get acquainted with those whom we serve.

The NSL collection is being reclassified in the Library of Congress system, and other preparations are underway to bring our collections, procedures, and approaches into the mainstream of national, regional and state library systems and develop ments.

With all of the foregoing, we have not lost sight of our other major responsibility, that of sup porting and encouraging the development of public

libraries and the quality of state-wide library service. We continue, as in the past, to work with all libraries in the State, acting as a back-up for their collections through inter-li brary loan.
