-The Everett Herald, Monday, March- 1, 1965 Center Stage: Sno-Isle Librarian Emily Wilson 'Never Wavered From Career Choice By SUSAN HEATH "The key to a good dis a fine book collection and a competent librarian making the connection between the and patrons. We want to get the right book to the right person at the right time" said Mrs. Emily Wilson, director of the Regional "Library. Hard. work "and detailed planning, however, lie behind the attainment of this goal.

Mrs. Wilson's special talent is develroping a library system before where there has been none or where facilities are limited. 7 "I enjoy organizing and building up a library. service more than anything she says. In 1945 Emily Wilson came to Everett to organize a Snohomish County library service from the Public Library.

For five years her headquarters were in the public library's so basement. Her staff then moved to the present at 26th and Grand. In 1947, the first bookmobile was purchased; three more have since been added. The service expanded in 1961 when Mrs. Wilson was asked to demonstrate library services in Island County.

An inter-county district was formed a year The area covered became known as the Sno-Isle Regional Library. Today Sno-Isle is the fourth largest circulation library in Washington with over a million books reaching the far ends of the two counties each year. The Everett headquarters is the distributing and processing center to the community libraries in the county except those in Marysville, Sultan, Snohomish and Everett. Approximately 85 to 90 employes, one half on a part time basis, are on the regional staff. Mrs.

Wilson says "We have had an outstanding staff. Success is never the result of just one person's work; it takes wonderful teamwork." As director, Mrs. Wilson plans the entire library operation, with local library boards in providing materials and personnel to them. The regional Board of Trustees sets the policies with two members from Island County and five from Snohomish. Mrs.

Wilson administers their decisions. A particularly satisfying duty is assisting local boards. with building plans following the guidelines set up by the American Library Association. She says, "We are always reaching toward higher goals in service, buildings and book collections, to meet the needs of the public." She now has 17 community libraries in her jurisdiction, proof of her ability to organize, develop and maintain high standards. Mrs.

and the world, bibliographical centers have been organized. If a person in the Sno-Isle region wanted a book not available in the local libraries, a librarian can send out a call to a center located as close as Portland or as far away as Washington, D.C., or London, England. The book will be forwarded with no charge. Sno-Isle returns it when the patron is finished. MRS.

Professionally she is a member of the Washington, American, and Pacific Northwest Library associations, having served on many of their committees. She says "I never wavered from the idea of being a librarian. My parents were Australians but also lived in New Zealand for a time where I was born.

When small, we came to Seattle where I attended school. "My mother liked the public library system in the U.S. At that time Australia had only private libraries; she belonged to one of these. She spent much time in the Seattle Library because she wanted to learn about the U.S. and particularly the Northwest, She thought a library career would be very worthwhile." With this encouragement, Mrs.

Wilson received an undergraduate and master's degree in library science from the University of Washington. She then worked in the Seat- MR. AND MRS. LELAND GRISSON, Rt.
