Today, it stands as the only Davis County city with its own library. OUR CIRCULATION is going up, she said. We had 9,544 more books taken out THERE ARE some who like the idea of a hometown library to serve this city of last year than the year before. Total circulation stood at 62,416, an increase of 10,000. Others reportedly would like to see the library 631 County. Overtures have been made countys part offering ' to incorporate Kaysvilles library with its larger, more complete facilities. No formal decisions have been made on on the either part, however, and Kaysville Mayor Gar Elison is in the process of drafting a reply to the county library board's letter making references to possible consolidation.

And of new library cards processed last year, 32 percent were for residents. The Kaysville Library, doesnt charge anyone for the privilege of using its facilities, unlike the county, which began levying a fee about two years ago of $10 a family for Kaysville residents and County patrons. The rational at that time stipulated a charge was necessary because those patrons werent contributing tax dollars and were getting a free lunch. 18 consolidated with the Davis County Library system that serves the rest of Davis non-Dav- is . OUR WHOLE purpose is to encourage people to read, Library- - Board Chairman Kathryn Welling said. We did consider maybe charging after the county started but decided aeainst it." This library is being used, Mrs. Welling said. A lot of people think its just a rinkydink library but they dont consider that others like it and that it really is being used. We want to keep improving it. KAYSVILLE residents pay for their library through property taxes with a 1.5 mill levy as opposed to the county rate of 1.9 levied against all other county residents. The library holds about 23,000 volumes, or better than two per resident. Some 886 new books were added to the collection last year although Mrs. Brady said about as many books are weeded out" as are purchased. "Its ideal if we weed out as many as we buy. We have book sales where we charge 10 cents a book. MAGAZINES ARE also those that are most called for, she said. News magazines are featured including kept for 10 years while others are retained for three years. A patron .can borrow magazines for three days. Of about 36 titles, there are no "we havent had any call for them. childrens because, There has only been one call for church publications." At present, the library lacks a picture collection but Mrs. Welling said that is being checked along with implementation of a vertical file to house pamphlets, maps k and other reading material. the hours until 9 p.m. but there wasnt the demand, Mrs. Brady said. "Kaysville is a small town and we had two comments about the hours. One was that people might as well get used to the fact the city closes down at 8 and they want to have their kids home. "It opens when school classes are out and there are usually people waiting when we open at 2:30, she said adding that there have been Pearson with input from students, teachers, parents and community of anything of the ture seen in the problem. A FILM night offered the second Monday evening of each month in the city council chambers is Mrs. Brady continued. We offer a little of everything from Flash Gordon to Mr. McGoo. Its usually entertaining and geared for the young and is family-orient- -' ed." In addition, story hours are offered periodically in six week intervals. And last summer, for the first time, a na- Mothers and Daughters - Fashion Show that they sponsored with approximately 500 in attendance. The school has just PTA. The PTA has also been asked to help with the props for the Hobbetts production THE LIBRARY is small enough it can deliver books to the homebound, Mrs. Brady said. For the homebound, we will deliver books. We get lots of telephone calls and if people need service, well try to provide it. Another recently-adde- d feature, a bookdrop located in the parking lot behind the library has proven popular. BUT BOTH the librarian and library board chairman said they realize more should be done to improve the facility and work is moving ahead in that direction. We hope to work with the county on bookmobile service, Mrs. Welling said. Its dependent on the county and the dollar factor, We had it in three spots in the city before. Were interested in providing better service and have felt its better if made easier to borrow books. Bookmobile provided by service is the county in conjunction wi.th the' State Library Commission in Salt Lake City to other areas within the county not located within one mile of a county library branch. AN AD hoc citizens committee is investigating a new location for the library, bulging at the seams in its present location. A variety of options are being studied, including possible expansion of the present facility, Mrs. Brady said. Residents like having a library close by, along with the convenience for their children. How many kids would go to Layton (were a library built there) or FarMrs. Welling mington? asked. The city council has allocated funds for painting, and other improvements but if we go into another building it would be a waste of money. The carpeting plans are there but were holding off. IF THE county assumed control of the Kaysville library there is no guarantee it would remain open, Mrs. Welling continued. And to that point County Library Director Jeanne Layton, a lifelong Kaysville resident agreed. We have no way of knowing what future (county) commissioners might want to do. trio from the state library recently visited the library at the citys request to evaluate services and make recommendations. Although their report is forthcoming, some changes have already been implemented. A CATALOGING and book processing services will be ning which is finishing up the first phase with new concept of the city. . The second phase of planof the ning is a micro-stud- y central business district which is in a critical situation as the current projection shows three roads and freeway to 3rd South will be torn up for new repairs. Also a grant from the state has been given for new lighting along south Main Street to Nicholls Road and the city will be responsible for the installation. HE SAID, looking at the West Kaysville annexation, there will be finances needed to develop the utilities. Mayor Elison said the city had some excellent ideas from a citizen of the community with regards of putting together scripts for tours of Kaysville and self-guid- from the broad material history and oral histories, etc, can be collected. spin-off- s of local THE CITY too is making definite strides to schedule a firm week for spring cleanup.

At the same time, the entire book collection will be reorganized for easier access to patrons and a special place for paperback shelving is planned. Feelings of Kaysville residents on future plans for the city library and library service in general, whether continued under city auspices or changed to county direction, are being sought, Mrs. Welling said. Residents should telephone library board members or otherwise make their feelings known. IN ADDITION to Mrs. Brady, library staff includes Blanche Swallow and Shirley Perkins.

But the former sheriff disagrees. -- u tnEVERYTHING " was squared away when 1 left office, he said. Some of the problems stem from misunderstandings or an attempt to make me look bad. Sheriff Johnson said the largest unpaid bill was $10,621 for false arrest insurance. HE SAID he didnt know until he received a cancellation notice on Feb. 17. He told the commission that he immediately paid the bill but that the sheriffs office was left without insurance for more than a month. BONNIE Heywood, reporting for the Kaysville Chamber of Commerce said their new meeting time would be at 8:30 the first Wednesday of each month. On March 7, Steve Lawson, the state Chamber president and Ogden executive director and Scott Parkinson of the Redevelopment Agency of Ogden will be the guests at their regular meeting.
