Show JUNE 22, 1983 Leave Without B By TOM BUSSELBERG North County Editor FARMINGTON - Its pos- sible many youngsters who attended the first summer reading day at South Branch Library in Bountiful had to leave empty-hande- d. THAT IS, they werent able to check a book out after their appetites were whetted because there just arent enough books to go around, Library Director Jeanne Layton told the library board of directors Monday morning. more children attended the South Branchs program over the North Branch, 35 fewer book , were checked out that day. We didnt have any more than 30 picture books at the South Branch, that day, she said, emphasizing, the childrens picture book stock is pretty well depleted. Although one-four- th THAT LEAVES us with what we think is a very serious problem. Many children left without any library books. Next year we will assess whether to have a program unless we can build up the childrens collection, she said further. "We will have to take a very strong look at it. Indicating some childrens books are based at South Branch, she said many youngsters go to the check-ou- t desk for books vs. checking the shelves, grabbing them as soon as theyre checked back in.

CIRCULATION, or the number of items checked out of the libraries, continues to rise, with the South Branch continuing to lead the three libraries although the North has seen large increases. In May, for example, South circulation jumped 22 percent, to 17,745, representing nearly half the whole system. At North, a sizeable 42 percent increase was noted, with 12,744 items checked out. Headquarters recorded a 13 percent climb to 6,246. The South Branch could see check out of a quarter million volumes over the year, Ms. Layton indicated. quisition budget.

ONE DOLLAR per hour a classroom for non-prof- it groups was subsidizing the real cost, Mr. Loveredge said. Thats been raised to $5 an hour. Separate meters were installed to determine power and heat uses in auditoriums and gymnasiums, for example and he said the rates are not too far off actual costs. We dont expect those rates to be cast in bronze, he emphasized, noting some principals need to be informed of policies allowing for use, such as for a Sunset Police training commun-ity-service-ty- session or for a Scouting Roundtable that might take place only four times yearly. RATES CAN be reduced, as well, if a group is willing to meet in a building with the lowered temperature maintained, such as at Farmington Junior High with a 55 degree night thermostat setting. Rates were based on October-Marc- h, the colder months, because groups generally hold activities outdoors during summer and warmer months.

He says it will upset my stomach. But I dont like pancakes or cereal in the morning. I like a light meal of popcorn and if I want something heavier, I usually settle on pizza and cookies. PEOPLE HAVE funny ideas about what the proper time is to eat certain foods. Dont you find it strange that you shouldnt eat pizza for breakfast? Now if you took the ham and cheese off the pizza and placed them in an omlette, watered down the tomato sauce to make tomato juice and made the flour and water crust into bread and threw it in the toaster-th- en you could have pizza for breakfast. People also have mixed up notions about the right time to eat potatoes. When was the last time you had a good baked potato after crawling out of bed in the morning? It is more likely that you had hashbrowns ) for breakfast, the baked potato for dinner and French fries for lunch. And people contend you shouldnt eat hamburger for for breakfast either-ste- ak no. rger I HAVE tried to find explanations for the rules governing the proper time to eat things. Perhaps it has something to do with nutrition. Maybe the body can only digest certain foods at certain times of the day. But why, if breakfast is the most important meal of the day, do we fix a bowl of Wheaties instead of a bowl of spinach? Maybe it is a matter of convenience. But it seems to me that sandwiches are just as easy to fix in the morning as are pancakes, and I would rather drive to work with a mug full of soup in my hand than with a mug full of coffee. IT COULD have something to do with easing into the day. Perhaps it is easier to face the morning . ma- jor problems: situations where construction of a public street knowing that your cereal and eggs are comparatively cheap, later on you can handle the price of meat and fresh vegetables. For the calorie conscious, breakfast poses a difficult dilemma. Watching the butter and syrup drizzle over mounds of waffles can be depressing. But who ever heard of tossing a few greens with lemon juice for breakfast? The Israelis, thats who! Their breakfast often contains chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, onions, fish and garbanzo beans, even avocados. The Orientals have sliced tomatoes and onions and Australians eat pork chops for breakfast. IF THE truth were to be known, French mothers do not make little French children eat French toast for breakfast. They only eat bread and beverages. And at my house we are not going to succumb to the pressures of the all American breakfast. Now if I could just convince Mark that 6 a.m. is the perfect time to eat Nachos...
