To keep the 6.500 square-foot library from seeming too cav ernous. 77ie Park Record is currently helping the library conduct the "Show Us the Titles Book Drive. " According to Summit County librarian Bonnie Mellor. the new library, which will be housed in the Summit County Services Building currently under construction at Kimball Junction, will be able to hold between 35.01)0 and 45,000 volumes. Nan Chalat-Noaker. editor of 77ie Park Record, said. "We were all pretty pret-ty tough on the first architectural drawings for the library, but really, the most important thing about the new county library is what is inside. We want to help fill the shelves with the books that people in this community commu-nity think are essential - books they grew up with, books that changed their lives." The library has, up to now been located in a rented space at 2734 W. Rasmussen Road and it presently houses 15,000 volumes. However, Mellor said many of the books comprising com-prising the current catalogue have been throw -aw ays from other libraries. She added that, as the library moves locations. "We're hoping hop-ing to turn over our collection and get more of the things we really need." In short, said Mellor, "We could use a lot of books." Chalat Noaker recounted the organization of the book drive, saying, say-ing, "The Park Record approached the county about sponsoring a book drive for the new library. We believe the new Spring Creek Library at Kimball Junction has the potential to be an educational resource center for the whole county and it is something we've all been waiting for during the last three years." The library welcomes books of all kinds (new or used, as long as they are in good condition), though Mellor named several categories that are especially needed. Health care books, such as family health guides, business-related books and children's books for the children section of the library are all in high demand. Any materials to help the library create a local and Utah history section are also welcome. And. said Mellor, fiction is alw ays prized. For favorite novels and stories, sto-ries, Mellor said locals might w ish to let the library know of the privileged status of the volume.

County officials want to construct a traffic circle at the intersection of Boothill Drive and Wagon Wheel Drive, but residents say the county did not notify noti-fy them of the its plans and they want a four-way stop at the intersection instead.

But, she said, big trucks, including garbage trucks, had to cut in front of the circle because the turn was too tight. Impatient drivers also drove in front of the circle.
