Description of Proje:ts Libray Addition
Building 35'x93' locited on 1A)F,. of lot 69 bloc;': 3, and portions of the
present Library lot,
An area 1016"x44' to house present cG.—d catalog lo- tod betman the 'rings
of the present build 3.ngo
An extension of the present Mild)-an's Room 22'x ' to act as a stow': area
for the Children's Room.
PtaTose:
To provide sufficient wort, area, additional seating capacity„ rrcreasod
book capacity, adequate storage facilities for bulk materials,
Hood for Projects
The Library was built in 193031, An area of 99100 sq* ft,s it housed 31,736
vdlumes and served an area of 45 sq, mio with a population of 13,2709 The
staff consisted of a full tine equivalent of 6,
Today tho population is about 269500 and the area served is 605 sq, mie The
building houses 135,999 books In 1960 an extansion to the stacks and refer-
ence
eference area added 59600 sq, ft., most of thick rias stac% space, with little or
no over all additional seating capacity
The extra 24 seats in tho new+ reference am hardly made up for the loss of
seating in the Children's R=a as table and chair seating was given up for
booI; shelving,
The proposed addition would double the riork roam area. The total seating
capacity would double and the additional stack capacity should be sufficient
for the forseeable future,
The crocxled condition all over the Library would no longer exist,
The student discipline problen mould be less as the tables Mould be spaced
farther apart.
There ! ould be a place for the adults tfio have become displaced persons
during the student rush perious.
Employee efficiency should 1narease as t'Ze conoostion in the work room is
al levia"
The constantly increasing rate of ;eg,c- ration of nes. patrons corresponds
