MUNCIE STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1964 5 Board to Request Library Service for County Be Continued By ALBERTA GREICUS hours and handle 14 chilcan Delaware County residents have dren at a time. At present three shown strong interest in the or four children from each class Library Demonstration Project, are taken in at a time and according to a review of the ular project Tuesday night at the regmeeting of the Muncie Public Library Board. Consequently, the board approved submitting a petition to the County Commissioners at their next meeting proposing continuation of service. The project was inaugurated in April 1963. as a two-year trial program financed by the federal government.

TO DATE, the Muncie Public Library has received $40,220 to finance the county demonstration project. This purchased books, bookmobile and paid the salary of professinal librarians working the 34 bookmobile stops throughout the county during a three-week period during the summer. Last fall circulation picked up and the bookmobile went to 11 county schools and made 19 stops each two weeks. Some weeks more than 2,000 books have been borrowed through the project by county residents. Statistics for January revealed the county residents are borrowing on the average of 320 books each day and many county high school students are using the main library and branch libraries, according to Leon Jones, librarian.

As of Jan. 1, 1964, there were 8,500 county borrowers under the project. Book stock for the county project has now reached 7,500 books. If the project is not continued after the end of the trial period, the books and the bookmobile will be returned to the Indiana State Library. If the commissioners accept the Library Board's proposal, a minimum tax levy of 5 cents would be adopted.

The commissioners would appoint two county library board members and the county superintendent of schools the other two. The board then would adopt the books secured so far would remain with the board. THERE HAVE BEEN some complaints about the service in the county. Yorktown mothers do not feel the bookmobile stops at the school a sufficient period of time. It stops there for three when the school has 868 children does not seem to serve enough glen of them, according complaint.

The demonstration project not only consists of the bookmobile visits to all parts of the county but it also opens facilities of the library to county residents. This means they can come to the main library or the branches, check out books, receive help and avail themselves of all the facilities. Scott, board member, suggested the pattern of establishing branch libraries would continue and undoubtin the future such places as Albany and Yorkmight be considered branches. In other business, the board approved several change orders on the new JFK Branch Library now under construction. Jones was instructed to get an estimate of costs involved for elimination of a door on the east side of the building facing Rosewood Avenue.

This would leave two doors, the main one facing McGalliard and a door off the parking lot on the west. BOTH SCOTT, Forrest Park principal, and board member Mrs. Edna Armantrout, who lives in the area, protested inating the door which they thought would endanger children who would have to walk through the parking lot to enter the building. Another change order involved the including of a book drop into the inside of the building for the return of books. This was approved.

Jones reported on suggested revision of staff regulations concerning vacation pay. The policy is that one day of vacation for each month worked by clerical help and two days vacation for each month worked for professional staff members is now given. But, members of the staff who quit want the pay for vacation periods they have not taken. The board decided such time could be taken off near the termination of employment, but pay will not be given.

The stocky union leader, in an impromptu news conference on the Court House steps, said the U.S.

Haggerty asked that a hearing be held some night this week or Saturday on the defense charges. U.S. Dist. Court, Judge Frank Wilson has said previously that such a hearing should wait until the case has gone to the jury because it involves possible grounds for a new trial.

"IF this isn't grounds for a mistrial, Hoffa told newsmen, "there never will be any." During Tuesday's session of the trial, the chief government witness against Hoffa testified that one of the Teamsters president's lawyers had coached agent, and Marjorie McKinney, Wayne County home agent.
