Kaysville has done a remarkable job with their library with the resources they have, director of the Davis County library system, Jeanne Layton said. There are problems in Kaysville, she said. Space is limited and they cant build up what the city needs in that space, she said. Davis County libraries are about 55,000 square feet in total; there are three of them. They supply services for a county population of 140,000, excluding Kaysville. The Kaysville library By MAGGI HOLMES Review Staff The Kaysville library is 1,840 square feet, Librarian Maggie Ryan said. It should be 10,000 minimum for this size of town. The tiny library is packed with volumes stacked on shelving that comes within a foot or two of reaching the ceiling. The shelves cast gentle shadows across the narrow passages and diffuse the overhead lighting. The aisles are too narrow to allow convenient movement and make passage uncomfortable. Ms. Ryan struggles with the small space and a small budget to keep the library active. About 70,796 items were checked out of the library last year and it had several successful programs. Unfortunately for the citizens of Kaysville it is impossible for a library of that size to adequately ( -- services 9,804 Kaysville residents. These figures indicate that there are 5.33 people per square foot being served by the Kaysville library and 2.55 people by the Davis library. If Kaysville residents used their library frequently it would become very tem and has more materials crowded. In a room not much larger than many home libraries, Ms. Ryan has managed to cram 25,413 books and magazines. She has not been able to find room to keep magazines more than three Vears and has no space for the lii ,ny libr can offer, like microfilm, films and tapes, lounge areas, play areas, and display areas. than the others. It is the county library closest to the Kaysville residents and probably the one used most by those residents who buy into the county system. There are 62 Kaysville residents who pay the $10 fee to get a county library card. It is six miles from Kaysville, Ms. Ryan x said. Some of these residents are The reference library is unhappy about the fee. Ms. Lay-to- n said that the county system had more Kaysville residents limited. It is a book case that stands behind the study tables. It is about six feet high and about 2V4 feet wide. It is very limited compared to reference libraries sported by many other libraries in the area. Davis County library in Farmington has 66,200 books on its shelves. Of course, the library in Farmington is the headquarters for the Davis County library sys using its libraries before the charge started three years ago. The book circulation at this library is not much different from the one in Kaysville. It is recorded as 50,638 but that fi- -. gure does not include the loan of records, films, and magazines. The Kaysville library is the oldest one in the county. It was started in 1927 and has remained independent of the Davis County library system since the county systems creation in 1945. Hoping to have his farm rezoned for a twin home' subdivision, Sam Chelmes came before the City Council Thursday to plead his case but complaints from about 20 residents of the area nearby and from the Air Force caused the rezoning to be tabled and returned to the planning commission for consideration of a lesser density zone change. The property in question is located at 2000 North near both Fairfield and Church Streets and was submitted to be rezoned to an zone which would have allowed up to seven homes per acre to be built on the property. Chelmes, who has owned the ground since 1947 said that he is tired of farming it, that his sons are not interested in farming it, and that nobody wants to lease it to farm. He now wants to develop it. He cited the high cost of building, LAYTON 38-acr- e R-I- -4 D high interest rates and the economy in general as reasons for the need of small lots and homes that young people could afford to get into. Many of the neighboring residents were very much against the zoning change. A large number of e the lots in that area are lots and are zoned for animals. The density of homes, the lack of schools to carry the load, playground area and traffic flow were only a few of the concerns expressed. John Grey, one of those residents opposed to the change, stated that some of their reasons for moving to that area were to have animals, a lot of open area and to be away from the normal subdivisions. Arlo Stewart, a representative from Hill Air Force Base, said that because of both safety factors and noise levels the Air Force discourages any residential development in the area. He added however that if development does occur that the noise level reduction of 30 decibles in construction would be needed. Councilman Sam Trujillo agreed with Chelmes that there would probably be a need for less expensive and smaller parcels of land for young families to build on and that developers will have to take into account the dollars kids have but he said that the Air Force really feels it is a danger to develop in that area. one-acr- ' BOOKS, newspapers and magazines are crowd- ed into a small space at the Kaysville Cjty In Library.
