Show Carnegie Library celebrates 60 Carnegie 60 years of service to the community this month. The present library building was completed and dedicated following determined in February several years 1917 of effort by local residents. The story began in the autumn of 1911 the delegates of the Utah Federation of Womens Clubs at Ogden, of the Twentieth Century and Home Culture Clubs of Mt. Pleasant heard in a convention of the many good things accomplished by women's clubs in other cities in various parts of the state along educational lines, and being especially impressed with the founding of libraries, came home and reported these facts and decided that Mt. Pleasant needed a public library. Club members felt they could at least start the ball rolling and hoped that some day the city council would come to realize the importance of such a project to the community, and even dreamed of perhaps someday securing a Carnegie Library Endowment Fund. Starting with very modest beginnings, a collection of about 50 books, the women made them available to the public in the Armory. In the spring of 1913 a delegation from the two clubs met with the city council and petitioned that body for money to pay a librarian so they could be freed to raise funds to buy more books. Up to that time club members had handled the librarians job themselves. The petition was granted for one yeaar, and was renewed in 1914. Meanwhile the club members were holding skating parties, dances, ice cream days when a percentage of the sales went for the library, and in other ways raised money. With this new volumes were purchased. In 1915 a permanent Library committee was appointed. This included C.N. Lund, S.E. Jensen, J.W. Anderson. Mrs. O.F. Wall, Mrs. Cherry, Mrs. H.C. Jacobs and H. LeRoy Nielson. At this time arrangements were made to consolidate the club and public school libraries. From '.his point on school children crowded the library every afternoon and the books went out by the hundreds. The necessity of a library building became apparent, and following rates have been established: $5 for the first $1,000 in construction costs, and $1 for each additional $1,000. Maximum fee is $125 for a single construction. Up to 12 inspections will be made on a building under construction. Inspections to be made will include appropriate site, contour, level, sewer hookup, plumbing and electricity. Special approval may be required by the fire and health departments, traffic engineer ar.d city engineer regarding gas hook-upwater or well permits.

The vear 1916 saw a special election held to see if the residents of the City would support the library at an expense not to exceed one mill. The measure passed 222 to 91. Correspondence was immediately established with the Carnegie Corporation of New York and on June 3, 1916 the $10,000 gift from Carnegie was formally accepted by the City Council. The site for the library was donated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Contractors Bert R. Hansen, John H.

Throughout the years school children have filled the libarary in the afternoons and have checked out books by the hundreds. Today children are still taking advantage of the The educational and cultural opportunities that can be found between the pages of a good book in the library. Older citizens, too, have found cultural enrichment and knowledge behind its doors and have taken advantage of art shows, and other events over the years. Mt. Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Olsen were their family, and relatives of Marva: Margie and Rod Ostler and children, Orem; Laura and Jeff Watson and son, Spring City; Allen and Connie Olsen, Ftn.

Green; Ruth Howard; Marianne and a friend, Lori; Lori Yates and son, Bryant, all of Nephi. Tragana. In February 1917 the structure of dark red brick was dedicated and opened to the public. Mrs. Ellis Carter was employed as the first librarian. The Mt. Pleasant Pyramid of F'ebruary 16, 1917 reports that the dedication was attended by overflow crowds in both the North Ward chapel, where part of the program was held, and at the library itself. From that modest beginning, only a dream of a few of Mt. Pleasant's civic minded women, over 65 years ago has come a place where now the area residents may enjoy an excellent selection of books, covering all areas of interest, periodic art shows, and other events of benefit to the community, such as the story hour. The library now houses an estimated 6,533 books and over the years has been supervised by eleven librarians. The present librarian is Shirley Miller; who is available to help anyone with materials in the library.

The project took place over several months. in Fountain Green The problem within the park is caused by the damage done to orchards by the (leer herd. Trapping and transplant efforts by the Division for the past two years have helped reduce the number of deer in the park and have thus alleviated some of the pressure on the orchards.

This month we applaud their efforts and those of all who have served in any capacity down through the years to make the library what it is today. Members of the present board stated.

Awards worth $1,000 will be given to the top contestants in each event. Club members are now contacting local businessmen to serve as sponsors for these awards. Sponsors will be featured in the rodeo soii'enir programs. So far, the response has been good. Without this help the rodeo would be impossible, so all area residents are urged to show their support by shopping locally whenever possible. Sikekicks Club members would like to have the rodeo in the North Sanpete area. Pro viding an adequate and safe arena for this event is essential. Since this area does not have a safe and adequate facility, the Sanpete County Fair grounds is being considered, but with the help of local businessmen, city government, Jay cees, Lions, Clubs and the Rodeo Club it is hoped that local facilities will be ready by that time.
