IN 1969, Laytons force toe and two talled nine part-tim- e officers compared to the present 17 officers. At the same time, the caseload has grown dramatically, said Lt. Martin Sparks. The city has grown an full-tim- awful lot and the officers feel frustrated at times because they cant follow up on as many cases like they used to, he said. They have to be choosey and follow those that have good leads. But they have a strong desire to serve the public. THE REPORT listed 4,013 calls received by the department and its officers in 1969 compared to 16,252 last year. Calls include anything demanding police attention but often arent classified as cases. Meanwhile, the case load went from 2,598 to 5,658, another hefty increase. A crime breakdown shows the last murder occurred in 1970 while aggravated assaults have seen a steady increase up to 92 last year, from 20 the year before. Burglaries have remained fairly constant over the last few years, totalling 159 last year, 161 in 1977 and 196 in 1976. But the category has seen a decided jump from 84 reported in 1969. GRAND LARCENIES stood 119 last year compared to 41 in 1969 while petty at larcenies rose from 351 10 years ago to 566 in 1978. Some 53 auto thefts were reported last year compared to 30 in 1969.

SELECTION objectives education, Its selection however. policies emphasize educational and informational emphasize functions. The library takes a broad view of the definition of education. A book has educational value if it stimulates imagination, develops positive growth, enlarges experience or widens horizons the policy for an individual, says. The prime responsibility of the library is to meet the needs of individual readers, organizations and institutions within Davis County, WITH THE rapid expansion in both population and change in classification. Assault and battery cases are also way up, Lt. Sparks said. Reporting and classification changes often make it dif- ficult to form direct com- parisons using statistics over a period of several years. THE INCREASE in DUI (driving under the influence) arrests was something the force was trying for in making the highway a safer place, he said. Some 93 such cases were reported last year compared to 64 in 1977. Accidents have reduced to the a three year low, lieutenant said. Some 583 were reported in 1976, 611 in 1977 and 565 last year. HE ATTRIBUTES success in lowering accidents to a department traffic program. We have two officers who are sworn into the traffic division who are working on problem areas. Normally, a summary of the past years events is compiled at the beginning of each new year but the ten-yereport was prepared because reporting procedures are being changed, Lt. Sparks said, tb most useful to the most people while trying to suit the interests of all the people, (on what people want) by what they tell us and by what books they continue to borrow. But the process is far more complex than that involving six staff members in review- opinions book content. SIX PROFESSIONAL staff, all holding masters degrees in library science, are refor reviewing sponsible THESE staff even a portion of every title, they are assisted by book catalogs for fiction, childrens books, public libraries in general and for various ages of WITH ABOUT 25 selection sources available, Miss Lay-to- n says the staff members rely heavily on reviews for fiction. We attempt to obtain several reviews, especially for controversial books. The reputation of the author and publisher can be very important, although she adds that books aren't automatically purchased on those criteria. Books are not selected from a personal point of view but to meet policies, she adds. A lot of books I personally wouldnt have there. 1 would say the collection reflects the community standards and it is made up of many different views. We dont want to reduce the All books library to shouldnt be on a childrens emotional or intellectual level. FINAL SAY in book selec- tion rests with the library director. Childrens cards are issued to those under the eighth grade while adult cards are issued for anyone in the eighth grade and up. Parents wishing to allow theiT children, under the eighth grade, to read adult material must give written consent. Miss Layton savs. WE MAINTAIN a very high standard (in childrens book selection), she says. We believe children should be exposed only to the highest degree of literature. They wont find whats on the newsstands or in regular bookstores on our shelves. We feel the library has a real responsibility to give children exposure to the best so that they can learn to discriminate and make choices. I think they will naturally choose good things to read if they learn to choose early, Miss Layton says. There are such beautiful, fine things published for youngsters now and the literary quality is often exceptional. I think exposure is the answer to education in the way of (selecting) books. BACKING her in well-bein- g principles. In its selection of Mr. and Mrs. Verl A. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Farlin Murray went to Spokane, : Wash, where they attended Clover Club Food Company meetings on Friday and Saturday. Visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Nance the past two weeks were her brother and sister-in-laJoseph and Melba Duncan of Salem, Ore. They also visited with his mother, Mrs. Louie Duncan who is staying with the Nances. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan are moving from Salem, Ore. to Taylorsville to make their home. Mrs. Richard C. Bowman and children Allison and Whitney of Los Angeles, Calif, 11 to spend two weeks with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Bowman and family and in Layton with her parents, Mr. are arriving March fiction materials the policy states, In selecting fiction, there is no single standard of literary quality. The library makes an attempt to satisfy a public which varies greatly in taste, reading skill, education and interests. NOVELS may be chosen not only because they may be distinguished literary works, but also if they are successful, pleasing and competently and Mrs. Robert Whitman and family. Dr. Chuck Bean and wife JoAnn and four children of San Antonio, Texas have been visiting with both of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Bean in Layton and her mother Mrs. Orson Hollist of Kaysville. They have recently attended doctor meetings and convention in San Francisco, Calif, and will visit a short time before returning back to their home in Texas. Mr. and Mrs. Gary Pace and six children arrived from California to visit with her mother, Mrs. Maud Jones and other relatives in the area. Mrs. Laurel Adams of Warner Robins, Ga. arrived Sunday evening by plane to visit her parents Mr. and Mrs. Dean Pilkington for a written. Since the novel is a strong literary form which is subject to change to suit the writers purpose, the success in which the author achieves that purpose is the single most important criteria for selection. Plot and characterization, which have been abandoned by many contemporary novelists, are secondary considerations in the selection of fiction. THE POLICY goes further d to say, Many highly-advertise- novels purchased, may not be even when few weeks. Word received from demand is high, if they fail to meet acceptable literary standards, the plot is trite, or the characters stereotyped. It is the library policy to purchase those works of fiction which are well written and based on authentic human experience. It is the librarys policy to exclude works of fiction which are cheap and sentimental as well as those which are solely sensational or erotic. IN COMMENTING about the wide variety of fiction available in the library, Miss 1 think well-don- e Layton says, fiction helps you understand motives and value sys- tems of others and learn about other cultures. Through literature you can experience vicariously a lot of things you wouldnt want to personally. n In selection, usually the best examples of a non-fictio- particular subject are sought because the library cant obtain every book on an area, Miss Layton says. The Farmington headquarters contains a wider selection in various subject areas and acts as a central resource center while the branches carry more of a general selection. WHILE A great natural need for books on scuba diving may not exist in Davis County, for example, the library would still carry some literature oh the subject to meet needs of interested patrons, she says. And where a patrons requests cant be met by the library collection, loan with other libraries can fill the need. inter-librar- y such feelings is the library selection policy approved by the library board in 1971. The library encourages constructive use of leisure time by providing materials for recreation and the promotion of social and personal development. Its objective in serving children is to provide a collection of the finest books and related 376-875- 1 The CONTINUES, public library which serves many varied groups cannot, to satisfy the interests and beliefs of one group, sacrifice the interests of others. Public opinion which changes from time to time is not a reliable guide for selection in the library where the future must be considered as well as the present. THE LIBRARY is opposed to the addition or withdrawal, at the request of an individual or group, of books and other materials which have been included or excluded from the collection based on the above their children, she says. The staff also relies on reviews published in some magazines and review sections of newspapers. There are lists of books compiled by librarians from across the nation, by recog-- ; nized authorities, she says. "That input isnt only by one person but from many, as with the Cleveland Public Library childrens coordinator who gets input from the entire staff. By NORMA PREECE IT inclusion in the library, Miss Layton says. Part of a librarians training is to learn how to evaluate a book. There are 40,000 new titles published each year in the United States and part of their training is to learn how to select from that amount and evaluate. SINCE Kaysville prime basis for selection.
