Show BINGHAM LIBRARY MOVE ANTICIPATED Prospects that Bingham will have a much enlarged and improved im-proved library at the building formerly occupied by the Bingham Bing-ham Radio shop, 488 Main street, brightened Tuesday following a meeting of representatives of the. city council and the Salt Lake county library board. Mrs. Ruth Vine Tyler of Murray, Mur-ray, county librarian, in conferring confer-ring with Mayor Ed W. Johnson and City Councilman Chris T. Praggastis, gave them a proposed pro-posed floor plan showing placement place-ment of newly-purchased maple tables, chairs, desks and shelves. If materials are available th'e latest type lighting will be installed. in-stalled. The floor coverine will be inlaid linoleum. New shelving will provide space for 8,000 to 10,000 volumes, three times the ' number now housed at the small library on ,the top floor of the City hall. ' Councilmen are furthering a proposal to use part of the building's build-ing's floor space for display of historical objects, ore specimens and exhibits which companies and individuals may wish to show. This museum will be separated sep-arated from the library by glass partitions. The present library is open three nights a week from 3:30 to 9:00 p.m.. City officials and the library board hope that, with opening of the enlarged and improved im-proved quarters, a plan may be evolved which will make library facilities available to the public six nights a week. City councilmen studied the diagram for the ' new library building and approved plans of the county board, as Mrs. Tyler has explained them, at their regular Wednesday evening meeting. The Bingham branch of the Salt Lake county library is supported by a tax levied on the county outside Murray and Salt Lake City. |
