Oregon Public Libraries.

A Survey of Oregon libraries was conducted to supply current background information on libraries. This information was needed for a long range plan to develop libraries in Oregon which is required by Public Law 91-600. In addition, the details about specific libraries are needed to evaluate applications for federal funds and to evaluate the effectiveness of the expenditures of funds in relationship to the whole library. The questionnaire covered: library building, library collection, circulation, interlibrary loan, the librarian and the community, quality of the books in the collection, and a sample of all materials circulated. This report is designed to summarize the findings of the survey and not to make recommendations for change in the library service of Oregon. (Author/NH)
