DtX NUN- �----------------------· ~--------- 'l LAHRENCE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY Lawrence , Kansas Report To The Board Of ryirectors For 1967 'i'o The Board Of Directors: Perhaps ~he 1967 deve~o~ment which has the most far-reaching potential was the designatlon.of an off1 c1al system of cooperating libraries by the State Librar,y ~~~ission 1n November 1967. At this time recognition was ~ven to an experiment , u in library ~oopera t'1on wh'1~h . had its beginnings in 1965. Official designation of tM system 7ncluded recogm. t1on of Lawrence Public Liurary as resource center and awunistrat~ve headquarters for the seven-county regional federation. ~·~ence has , of course , been acting in this capacity since July 1966 . During this time much trial and error has taken place in an effort to develo~ a pattern of cooperation between 30 varied public libraries . Pr ogress has been made . Huch remains t.o ~ nade . Public libraries as a whole in Kansas are experiencing the pains and re;..'3rds of learning new ways of doing things . Learning \.fays to work together to avoid having each procedure and expenditure repeated )60 "rays in needless duplication. As this syste~ will benefit othar libraries in the area , so it will benefit Lawrence. The benefits will be varied, and \·Till increase with the grm..th of the system concept itself . But among them will include access to centrally cataloged and processed books (possibly state subsidized) , availability of large central collections of films and stJecial resource materials, and hook- ups with large reference centers . As ad"''linistrative and reference center for the system, Lawrence will benefit from increased professional personnel' and resource r.mterials . An immediate example would be the anticipated 35,000 - $8 , 0CO reference grant expected to be made by the State this .. . ~pnng . As s::stern he.adqu~rters, La~·rrence in 1967 instigated a central. r7ference a.:d interlibrarJ loan sar\~Ce to libraries in th9 system a~ea . In add~t~on, lat7 ~n ~967~ we ~a3n a service of central purchasing and process~ng of ~ater1als for libra~es 1n th; syatem . Naterials ara bought through ~wren~e and sent to. Kansas Ci~y, Kansas, for procQs::;ing . One major benefit to all libranes , La~·rrence ~ncluded, ~s a larger discount on materials through bulk buying . • ~her major points of interest for 1967 include: BALLARD c::~TER CO!LECTIOU. In December, ,.;e lo~ned s~a ~00 children's. and young adult books to the Ballard Center to b~g1n ~he~r library.

Late in the same year the front stairs began to ~ollapse and presented a danger to library users . Both the roof and the sta~rs were replaced. by the city. Problems of outdated electrical wiring and of see?aee of water ~n th7 ?asement continue to exist. During 1967, lack of soace for books be~ame Crlt~cal . It became necessary late in the 1ear to purchase some 27 sect~ons of library shelving to house anticipated book purchases throug~ the year 1968. Several investigations by architects and th~ city engineer d~sclosed the ~anger in placing additional load-bearing book shelves in many areas ?f the f1rst floor . This problem will become even more critical by 1969 when nrtually no safe area will be left in the adult, area for the placing of more stacks . It may be that material ~~11 then be put in storage, until such time as additional facilities become available . The above items merely · serve as added indications that the current library plant is physically obsolete and spatially inadequate for modern day library operations . A building initially built for a population of 10, 000 now serves 46, 000. • 4 • SALARIES. The .l968 budget drawn up in June of 1967 provided increases for professional, non-professional and part-time employees. To more closely meet prevailing area salaries for non- professional personnel, beginning salaries were incre3sed by $100 and an annualihcrement of $150 was provided. This brings u.s near er to competing institutions, but will need reviewing at the coming budget session. Part-time wages were increased to a minimum of $1. 00 per hour which Yould seem to be sufficient for the immediate future . Beginning salaries for professional librarians with no experience were raised to $6, 600. · This is competitive with KU but still some $400-700 less than prevailjng national averages . • CIRCULATION OF CHilDREN'S BOOKS . The old method of using audio charging for children•s books was replaced in 1967 by a self- charge method, similar to the system in the adult department . Initial reaction to this change seems to be favorable : One innovation, suggested by Hrs . Halfen, was to provide a carbon copy of ~ach charge-out list thus providing mothers with records of all materials ch;cked out. rtany pat~ons have expressed satisfaction with this added touch .

Hutchison Salina and Topeka noH come under thl..s category. . ' 3 BOOK CIRCULATION. Reversing a two-year drop in book circulation, the librar,y experienced an in7rease ~n books checked out of 2, 188 over 1966. In the total pattern of book c~rculat~on , adult books increased 3 460 over the previous year while circulation of childr:n's books dropped 1, 272 .' This has been a continuing pattern for three years . Cl..rculation of adult books has continued to rise while juv:nile.circulation has decreased . This pattern would seem to be following a n~t1on~Wlde trend toward.decreases in circulation of children's books in public librar~es . The most obVJ..ous reason for this decrease is uurowth , throuah Federal ,;:) funds, of resources and personnel in school libraries across the countrJ in the last few years . Much of the service provided by public libraries to children in the past was in lieu of needed services at the school level, especially in the elementar,y grades. A fair assumption is that schools and public libraries will l-rork out their individual roles in the years to come and that the public libraries, more to their nature , Ydll become resource centers concentrating on building collections of informational materials which are being increasingly demanded at the elementary level. This would follow the pattern of the public library at the secondary level. Hany of the more commonly used materials are available at the school level while the public librar.y serves more in the capacity as a factual and informational resource center for the student. In addition, of course , the children ' s library will continuo its role in providing pre-school materials as well as supplementary reading for student,s of all levels. In the long run, increased excellence of school libraries will mean increased awareness of the importance of books and the public library will continue to fill a vital, if changed, need. REFERl!lJCE SERVICES. In conjunction with services performed for the Northeast Kansas Libraries, we have been able to increase our reference services to local patrons by additional personnel in our reference dept . We have not yet managed to make this service available at all times the library is open, but are slowly reaching this goal. Gradually, as the patron ~s able to ha~e the ~ervices of a orofessionally trained person when he needs 1t, he takes ~ncreas1ng advantage or' the service. For the Lawrence .Public Library, this can be ~onsidered the single most significant step forward for 1967 - ,the strengthen1ng of our informational services to the patron. Eventually, we tmuld hope to have a staff of at least 3 full time persons for the most consis~ent service, but the current ava'lab'l"t f one and 3/4 oersons the past. ~ ~ ~ y o . . is . a marked . b~provement . b 'lt over di t . Thus, a major function of the public lib:a:r ~st.e1nglibul.. up - F rec serv~ce t th bli b, fessionally trained ~monna 10n rar1ans . or years we o he pdu f7 Y prlol tl.·on of materials and much better than average circulation ha ve a a ~ne co ec · d s t ar.. f who could b e cons~st:o · .

This has worked out v~ry well decreasing the wait for books by several "reeks in many cases. Of course, this does not work for books_ such as best sell~rs , but has proved very useful for individual titles which are asked for ~n one area but not being used in another. Some 15-20 books a week are exchanged by this method. · • Thanks go again this year to all of the staff for a job \-tell done. Special thanks to Mrs . Osma, whose excellent book selection throughout the years has made the collection one of the best in the state; to Mrs . Halfen our Children's Librarian; Mrs. vleeks , our bookkeeper; Hrs . Meyer, head of circulation and Mr. Anthony, our custodian, Hho scr.nehm-1 manages to consistently keep the libra:r; presentable and iMabitable - a formidable task. In swr:nary, new physical innovations in many areas will continue to be impractical due to space limitations. But new 't-rays of doing old tasks can ahrays be found. Our role in Horking l-Ti th other libraries brings new insight into such l-rays. Better libra:rJ service will be the result of cooperative library practices. It is my opinion that the future of top quality library service in La~ence is. excellent. ·.:ith the continued support of the Board, the Staff and the C1.ty, I think we can look forward to a very high percentage of improved library service to patrons over the next few years . . • tfayne Ha yo P.ead Librarian • • - • • • • • • I • • • • • • • • • • • - • • • • • �( • 1967 STATISTICS CIRCULATION • Books Records Periodicals & Pamphlets FilmS Adult Juvenile 1.49, 286 11, 168 1.49, 913 2, 097 Total 299, 199 13, 265 8, 120 1, 067 j ----- 8 , 120 1, 067 • ----- The above represents a total increase in book circulation of 2, 188 .
