Kenas Library’s Record
Of Service to Community
Compiled for Year of 1962
Another year of “community
service"' to patrons who read
books for information and plea
sure is disclosed in the “1962 Re
cord of the Kenai Community Li
brary,’’ compiled by Mrs. Allan
Petersen, librarian.
The thirteenth year, recently
completed by the library, makes
an interesting comparison with
the first year’s service and activ
ities, Mrs. Petersen remarked.
The Kenai Community Library
was originally sponsored by Ke
nai Homemakers Club—and was
officially opened for “lil>rary bus
iness” on Nov. 16. 1949 — with
about 500 volumes of donated
books ready for circulation to in
terested patrons.
The first annual report of the
Kenai Library gave the following
facts:
Registered borrowers, adult and
young people—73, children — 21,
making a total of 94. Books loan
ed, adult and young people —
1,039, children •— 403, for a total
of 1,442 books circulated.
The thirteenth annual report,
for 1962, gives these figures to
indicate the growth and compari
son:
New registered borrowers (for
1962), adult and young people—
251, children—53, making a total
of 304 new borrowers. Total re
gistrations since 1949, adults and
young people—905, children, 199,
for a total of 1,104. Books loan
ed, adult and young people—7,106,
children—4.059, for a total of 11,
165,
New books added to the library
during 1962 numbered 210. Total
volumes in the library at the close
of 1962 numbered 4,651.
No Membership Fees
The Kenai Community Library
is a “public” library and as such
Dairy Farmers
Schedule Meet
; Alaska dairy farmers will pet
jtpg£ther at a dairy short course in
[Palmer on Jan. 29-30-31, accord
ing! to an announcement made by
Ed Liebenthal, district agricultur
al agent, Homer. It is expected
that dairy farmers, processors
and business people will be in at
tendance.
Conducting the short course
‘will be professional representa
tives from the Alaska Agricultur
al Experiment Station, Coopera
tive Extension Service and the
State Division of Agriculture.
Two dairy specialists from the
South ’48 statesjjwill help con
duct the course..,>
There is no charge for the
short course, but reservations for
hotel reservations should be made
in advance, Liebenthal advises.
membership fees cannot be col
lected from borrowers, Mrs. Pe
tersen explained. Cash donations
can be received and are appreci
ated.
‘•To some of our patrons the
services of the library prompt a
cash contribution and during 1962
these “donations” amounted to
$39.45!” the librarian said. ‘‘That
amount would not pay for many
new books for the shelves. For
this reason, the library has var
ious means of raising extra money
for books purchases. The sale of
donated “paperback books”
brought in $84.43 in 1962!"
“Also for sale for the benefit
of book purchases and librarian
supplies are the various souvenir
items — such as Kenai plates
(featuring the Russian church)
as well as Kenai post cards and
note paper and Kenai pencils. The
sale of house plant slips and cut
tings also augments this fund,”
Mrs. Petersen continued.
A new project initiated upon
the suggestion of a few adult pa
trons is a rental shelf of “best
sellers.” A weekly rental fee of
10c per book is charged. The year
of 1962 saw $35.50 collected from
this project. The librarian ex
pressed her appreciation for the
support given this project by in
terested readers.
During the year of 1962, the
Kenai Community Library observ
ed National Children’s Book,
Week, Nov. 11-17. Several teach
ers brought their classes to the
library to acquaint their pupils
with the facilities there during
that period. During National Li
brary Week, April 8-14, the li
brary co-sponsored the Third An
naul Peninsula Arts and Crafts
Show with the Kenai Parent
Teacher’s Assoc.
The library also carries articles
for sale by the Alaska Crippled
Children’s Assoc., in copoeration
with the Kenai Area ACCA Chap
ter. This is a benefit to the ACCA
and no commission is received
by the library.
Much Volunteer Help
“The Library Board is grateful
to volunteer - helpers who have
made possible the services extend
ed to patrons of the Ivenai Com
munity Library during the year
of 1962. There are-no-salaried em
ployee^. The many hours- of do
nated personal time ahd work is
sincerely, appreciated,'* Mrs. Pe
tersen added. “We extend greet
ings to all for the very best dur
ing 1963!”
Borrowers wrho have overdue
bboks and/or fines are urged to
take care of their responsibility
to the library in an endeavor to
aid workers in clearing up the
overdue file for 1962.
