ACCORDING TO Library Public Information Coordinator Sarah Beth Galloway, card carriers can check out not only s books but also records, and pictures. They can be utilized at any of the three county libraries in Bountiful, Farmington and Clearfield. Patrons under the age of 18 are required to obtain a parent's signature, unless they are married. Cards are buff for children, blue for adult and red for CARDS ARE processed at film-strip- AS A matter of fact, theres quite a story behind producing those cards, of which there are 30,768 registered in the county. Thats one card for every four residents outside of Kaysville, which operates a separate library. And if you're a county resident (outside Kaysville), the a real card costs you nothing bargain in today's inflated world. In fact, use of the library is quite economical. Thats the theme of National Library Week, which runs through Saturday: America's t. the headquarters library in Farmington on a graphotype machine, somewhat similar to an addressograph. The operator can type in the name, city code and other information on a keyboard similar to a type- writer, and the machine will enclose the card in a protective plastic covering, she says. Denice' May processes the cards as part of her duties, w ith about 300 applications received each week.

Another child had drawn a picture of the date due on the back of his card, similar to what is shown in the books. On the card applications we had a place to list the occupation, she continued. One mother had put taxicab driver. psychiatrist, etc., instead of just mother. I have fun trying to decipher them. SOMETIMES CARDS become hard to read because they have been carried in a back pocket or are run through the washer. Damaged cards are replaced for a 50 cent fee and if they are lost the charge is Si, Mrs. Libertini says. Cards are normally renewed every three years. Cards have been issued to people living as far away as Hill Murray or to Air Force Base employees who like to utilize the nearby Clearfield branch. Several Vietnamese applied for cards last week, Mrs. Galloway said, and while they couldn't speak any English, their sponsor was willing to sign them up. |
