Douglas and Joyce Stout Photographers: CY Editorial Kearns Library Inadequate For a town of 20,000 people, the library in Kearns is woefully inadequate. There are not enough books, and the library building itself is not big enough. I guess we could blame the Salt Lake County Library Board for not providing more books and building a larger building to house these books; but perhaps the blame is not with the Board, but rather with us.

Recent graduates, as a matter of fact, were faced with a new problem not where can I find employment, but which position shall I accept, he said.
