The Cedar Rapids Public Library is weed ing its collection but expects little shelf space gain. The board asked director Thomas Carney to produce a detailed estimate of immediate and long term space needs. Weeding moves material to storage and readers can have staff retrieve items.

Reference questions rose from 6 876 in October 1977 to 7 056 last month. Board president Jerry Elsen sums up the issue as dual library: staff work and the physical plant.
