Elder Gordon B. Hinckley was born June 23, 1910 in Salt multi-purpo- Missionary Committee for seven years, and was serving as stake president of the East Millcreek Stake at the time of his present calling.

Beyond that, some question the book selection policy set up by the library system and adopted by the Davis County Library Board in 1971. But Library Director Jeanne Lay-to- n says that policy goes beyond one person choosing books he or she likes and getting them on the shelves. WE TRY to buy what Is most useful to the most people while trying to suit the interests of all the people, Miss Layton says. We rely a great deal in forming our opinions (on what people want) by what they tell us and by what books they continue to borrow. But the process is far more their cultural and ional needs. recreat- SELECTION objectives education, Its selection however. policies emphasize educational and informational emphasize functions. The library takes a broad view of the definition of education. A book has educa- tional value if it stimulates imagination, develops posi- tive growth, enlarges experience or widens horizons for an individual, the policy says. The prime responsibility of the library is to meet the needs of individual readers, organizations and institutions within Davis County, the policy continues. WITH THE rapid expansion in both population and information, together with greater demands on the library, it is evident that the scope of the library collection needs to be broadened. The need of materials to carry on effective service and the requests of readers are the prime basis for selection.
