Stutz LIBRARY SERVICES ACT Thelast session of Congress passed an act known as the Library Services Act. The purpose of the Act is to provide library which services to communities have no library service and to '.hose communities where library services are inadequate. Most of these communities are in small town and villages. The benefits of- this act are limited to rural areas. In Utah, the services which can be' provided cooperatively under the Federal Library Services Act are badly needed. Approxid of our populamately tion is without library service. Of Myfon Boy Scout Troop s the remaining of our poulations, only a small percentage has service. adequate library Under the Library Services Act to remedy this condition the following steps should be taken. 1. An enabling act must be passed by the 1957 Session of the Legislature to enable the State to participate in the benefits of the Federal Library Services Act, and to establish an agency which can administer the provisions of the Federal act. 2. An app'ropriation of Sate funds will be asked to match Federal funds funds. State to about $140,000 amounting would be required to entitle Utah two-third- to receive $167,000 of Federal funds for the next two-yea- r period. 3.. A plan must be formulated by the State Agency and approved by the U. S. Office of Education to extend library service to rural areas of Utah. We must but look around us to realize the severity of the need for public libraries in our county. The only public library in the county is the Roosevelt City Library. A year ago, a County Library Committee studies ways of extending library services throughout Duchesne County. This committee (Continued on Back Page) el |
