MEMORANDUM
TO: City of Tigard/Tigard-Tualatin School District Joint Meeting
FROM: The Tigard Library Board
The Tualatin Library Advisory Committee
DATE: March 3, 1994
'r- vAl1 ewn it Uny Cont-am:
The Tigard Library Hoard and the Tualatin Library Advisory Committee are convinced that
cooperation between our public libraries and the Tigard-Tualatin schools is important. We
represent the citizens' voic a for our respective public libraries, and several of our members are
current or former teachers of English, Reading, and Social Studies. As citizens, as taxpayers,
as educators, and as parents we are oonvinced of the role of schools in training students to
be independent citizens, capable of seeking, finding, and evaluating information. 'We are
proud to be involved with an entity which helps schools perform these functions and also
provides information and assistance to citizens of all ages.
We are very concerned about the possibility of budget cuts by the Tigard-Tualatin School
District which could impair the operations of school libraries. The purpose of this letter is to
bring our concerns to your attention as you meet to discuss issues which affect both our cities
and schools.
Reductions in school library service or staff will have a direct impact on our two public libraries;
students and other citizens will find it more difficult to use library services. When considering
the possibility of personnel and material budgets in school libraries, we would ask that you
consider the principle that schools train users and public libraries provide a lifelong resource
'for these users/citizens. It Is important to the community that children crow up having the skills
of self-empowerment. Both our libraries already provide a 'great deal of service to
schools/students, e.g. locating materials for class projects, homework, and research. The
library also considers the needs of students whsa maKing purchasing decisions.
Public librarians are happy to assist students in using the library's resources but they cannot
teach children the skills they need to do school work. School librarians are educated to be
teachers and public librarians are educated to be information and literature experts.
The Tigard Public Library has been struggling to keep up with the increased demands on its
services. We have been unable to increase personnel, space, and materials to keep pace.
For instance, our recent, modest expansion was only possible with a bequest. We would find
it d'etficult.to meet the increase in demands for services which would rssult from cuts in school
libraries.
SAII
r ,
Two years ago, the Tualatin Library, due to the failure of a City levy election, cut its public
service staff by over 50 percent; reduced its hours from 65 to 40 per week; and substantially
cut back on the purchase of all materials. These reductions will continue in effect for at least
two more fiscal years.
Both the Tigard and Tualatin Public Libraries have been, and will be, willing to support the
schools. We are open and eager to discuss creative, cooperative solutions to this situation
that may address the needs of both agencies. However, the reality, of resource availability
limits the ability of the public library to "pick up the slack." Our communities need school
libraries and public libraries. The school library is the classroom where children develop the
skills to use the public library.
