Senior Citizens Services, Inc.,
Clearwater, Fla.
Dear Amos: -
This will constitute a report of progress and the present state of
the Taver Bayly Collection of Books for Senior Citizens in the Beach Branch of
the Clearwater Public Library in the ~remorial Civic Center, Clearwater Beach.
The collection was initially shelved on April 20, 1967, at which time
it consisted of some volumes donated by Mr. Loomis'and a number of others given
or purchased by the Clearwater Library Board on behalf of the Senior Citizens
Services. A book plate designating books belonging to this collection and a
plaque designating the collection itself were designed and executed.
Initial publicity on the collection appeared in the Clearwater Sun
and on the national network of Columbia Broadcasting TV, in connection with Se-
nior Citizens work ever~ihere.
Currently the Collection comprises some 225 volumes classified under
six major SUbject headings:
Spiritual Living
Pastimes and Hobbies
The Arts (appreciation and
participation).
A principal problem of the committee is to convince people that the
collection consists of books of value to seniors in solving their special prob-
lems. It is not a collection of old books!
Retired Living
Gerontology
Health
Our principal needs, aret better understimding[;and' use of, the cbllection;
and contributions of cash or hooks fitting the purpose of the collection. We
can also use volunteer helpers in the Beach Branch Library.
The Committee for this activity is: Miss Martha M. Kelley, Mr. Ormond
Loomis and the undersigned (representing the Clearwater Library Board).
If you need more, please let me know
Truly yours.

POLICY REGARDING GIFT BOOKS
Regarding gifts of books to the library) it seems advisable to restate our
continuing policy.
In the process of building u book collection of ,~hich we aTe justly proud
we have been expecially fOTtunate in receiving as gifts many thousands of useful, ,
beautiful and valuable volumes. In many instances these titles would be beyond
our means to acquire. In many other cases gift volumes provide us titles in
duplicates at times when demand in particularly great. In recent years these
gifts have been especially welcome for distribution to branches. Demand fluctu-
ates~not only from one place to the other, but from one time to another. This
is especially so as we establish special collections in the main library and its
branches. In the interests of both space and servicing our practices must be
constantly revised to meet current needs. In the matter of accepting gifts of
books and other materials we find it more than ever urgent that the doner under-
stand that disposition of the materials must be left to the discretion of the
Library Director, and the staff, with the advise of whatever committees may be
authorized by the Library Board. It must be understood. that some items must be
discarded immediately upon Teceipt, or as soon as an outlet can be found. Usually
the Director has contact with several groups who are anxious to accept whatever
books and periodicals we cannot use. The materials which we keep are catalogued
whenever need and space allow) and in other cases are held in storage areas.
Space on open shelves is usually at a premium and must be put to the best possible
use. In recent time much of the material is kept in locked cases) or in semi-
private housing) for greater protection and security. These items are available
on request.
