For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Heart of Ohio, Sunbury Description An account of the resource (narration by Dave Kaylor) Like many Ohio towns, Sunbury ended up where it is because of an old Indian trail. The Walhanding trail as it was known is today Route 3. Not long after the town was founded in 1816 by William and Lawrence Myers on this trail, this place was built as an inn because the trail became part of the stage coach run from Vernon to Worthington. This was a thriving business in its day and today it's being restored by the Sunbury Library. Now this of course is Sunbury's pride and joy, the Town Square. You don't see town squares that much in towns in Ohio anymore you especially don't see one this big, but there's a good reason this one is here in Sunbury because it's in the law. You see, it says in the law that if they cut this up into pieces for development, the land has to go to the relatives of the Myers who laid out the town. That's why this town square hasn't been touched. The Town Square was used for lots of things including grazing cattle and horse sales. Here's a picture of one from the 1800's, see the inn at the right? Here's the same corner today. Sunbury really grew following the Civil War. The town hall was built in 1868. Many new businesses followed. One notable entrepreneur was Charlie Wheaton who owned these buildings together downtown. They say he sold just about anything including the first automobiles. By the way, he covered the outside of his businesses with tin. It's still there today. Sunbury's always had industry too. The two most famous, probably the Creamery, which eventually became Nestles Coffee Factory. But even bigger in its day was the old mill owned by Gottlieb Jacob Burrer. It stood here just on the north edge of town. The Burrer home and barn still stand, and so does Gottlieb's grandson Carlton. (Carlton speaking) This was a congregation point, uh, for the farmers that would come in. They would bring their grain to get it ground into flour and they'd be very unhappy if the, uh, flour they got wasn't from the grain that they brought in (Dave Kaylor chuckles). Quite often they'd come in and they'd have to wait for their grist and Grandmother Burrer would have 'em for lunch and, uh, so it was a very congenial atmosphere. Those were the way things were back in the old days. (narration by Dana Tyler and Dave Kaylor) DT: This is a Thistle-Class racing boat coming out of its fiberglass mold. It's made right here in Sunbury. DK: In fact Dana, this is only one of two places that it's made in the entire country. Now the Thistle-Class sail racing boat isn't something you necessarily take your family out on a cruise on a (Dana chuckles) Saturday or Sunday afternoon. This is a racing class the people that buy these boats like to race. And it was first built back in 1945. DT: Look at that. DK: Isn't that something? DT: It takes about two weeks to make one of these boats here at the Great Mid-West Yacht Company and they make about 12 sailboats a year. DK: Doug Laber has been making Thistle Boats for the past 12 years, 11 years here in Sunbury. And a lot more goes into it than just putting that old hull in a fiberglass mold and bring it up and there you have a Thistle Boat. Tradition behind all this means there's a lot of skill that goes in to it. Doug, what are you doing right now? DL (Doug Laber): At the moment we're fitting, uh, the rails to the hull side. There's an excess of fiberglass in this section on the inside and we are making it fit so there's no extra bulge. DK: Why do you spend so much attention to detail, when you're making these boats? DL: It's gonna sound a little corny frankly, but we are interested in doing it as well as we can. DK: If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. DL: Kind of the philosophy that, that I've adopted in, in making these boats, is that each of these boats is being made as if it was the last boat we were going to make and we're going to keep it for ourselves. DT: The Great Mid-West Yacht Company makes new sailboats and fixes old ones. This is a 24 year old all wood sail boat, beautiful wood, it's in for repairs here. DK: Now this is a newer boat. This is a fiberglass boat, one much like we saw coming out of the mold earlier. And you can come here and buy 'em in Sunbury, the base price around $7,500. But by the time you get the trailer and the cover and the sails and all the sailing hardware, you'll have about $10,000 in the Thistle. So now that you have your Thistle, what do you do with it Dana? DT: Well here in central Ohio at Hoover and O'Shaughnessy Reservoirs there are sailing races but beyond that, did you know that every weekend between May and October you can find a regatta within a four hour drive of Columbus. (Narration by Pat Warren) This is Sunbury's regular water supply source, the Big Walnut Creek. I'm actually standing on the intake structure, that's the pipe through which the water is pumped. Now ordinarily this creek should be high enough to flow over that dam. That hasn't happened since mid July. The Sunbury Reservoir is about 50 million gallons low, notice the water mark. There's just enough water left for about 25 days. Last week it was decided the solution to the water problem is to install a temporary water line from a neighboring quarry in Galena to the Sunbury Reservoir. The National Guard loaned Sunbury the pipe, Nestle is paying the workers. But the job is taking longer than expected. The emergency pumps were expected to be operational today, but the pipe is old, the segments must be bolted together by hand. Water Department Supervisor Phil Frentsos says the pumps should be working tomorrow, no later than next week. Still it's only a temporary solution. When the reservoir is full again the pipeline will be dismantled. PW: You're looking at the possibility maybe of buying that quarry? Gene Sparks: It's a possibility, yes. PW: But nothing is definite? Gene Sparks: No, nothing is definite at the time, no. PW: I guess the real point though is that something has to be done. Gene Sparks: Something has to be done for the people of Sunbury. PW: The sunny side to the story is this, none of Sunbury's residents have had to go without water, yet. Pat Warren, Eye Witness News. (Narration by Doral Chenoweth the "Grumpy Gourmet") This is the Grumpy Gourmet today coming to you from the Heart of Ohio. We're in Sunbury. We're up here to check on the balance of trade. Yesterday Kentucky Fried Chicken opened up a store in Beijing China of all places. Where would you expect not to find a Chinese Restaurant in the heart of Ohio? In Sunbury on the square. Today we're going to try Wah Yuen. This is C U Uh, everyone calls him Bobby. For the past six years he's operated this fresh wok cookery Chinese Restaurant. Hey you want to talk Pau? No, the food's good, chicken dishes here are the fresh specialty of the day. There are very few pineapple groves in Sunbury Ohio, but they make great use of it here in the sweet and sour chicken. Taste, aroma, color, beautiful. We spoke with Bobby about his place but his English is not too good so he'll answer in Chinese. DC: Uh, We couldn't find a translator so this is probably what he said. Do you have Peking Duck? Bobby: (speaking Chinese) "No, but if you don't get out... You'll have to duck!" DC: Why did you go in the restaurant business? Bobby: (speaking Chinese) "None of your business!" DC: What is this, no chopsticks? Bobby: (speaking Chinese) "#?!#!$!#" DC: This is the Grumpy Gourmet bringing knowledge from the combat zone in the Heart of Ohio. (Sunbury baseball history, William Henry Southworth, without any soundtrack) Interview with Carol Southworth Watson and Dave Kaylor CSW: Um all of his brothers were railroaders, and he had about six weeks working on the railroad and he thought, you know I really don't like this. So he ran away to Portsmouth, much to his mother's chagrin, to become a ball player. And then from Portsmouth then, I don't know, Branch Rickey was somewhat instrumental, and he went on to the Toledo Mudhens and then to Cleveland. Well he would clown with his boys. DK: He wasn't a Casey Stengel CSW: No, no he would clown with his boys, but he would be here for Spring Training. DK: Uh Huh CSW: So, and uh, then so far as the boy scouts were concerned, he was really perpetuating what they were doing here.

Title A name given to the resource A Nestle Family Album Description An account of the resource Verna Bergandine "A Nestle Family Album" (Factory whistle blowing) (Background music "Sunny Side of the Street") Located on land just north of the plant's current site, the Sunbury Cooperative Creamery was founded in 1892. Later a new plant was constructed nearby. Horse-drawn wagons delivered milk to the plant and distributed products throughout central Ohio. The Sunbury Creamery was famous for its products. Milk, butter and cheese were among its mainstays. The tradition of the butter cow at the Ohio State Fair was originated by the Sunbury Creamery, and its displays of creamery products were frequent award winners. In 1919 the Creamery was acquired by the Nestle Company of Switzerland. Famous for high quality infant formula, Nestle introduced its production to the Sunbury plant. (Background music "You're the Cream in my Coffee") Sunbury's reputation for getting things done right, coupled with its close proximity to the Marysville Research Lab, made it a natural choice for the production of new products. In 1939 the first production of Nescafe in the United States came from the Sunbury plant. (Background music "American Patrol") During World War II production of K rations to support the war effort consumed the bulk of this plant's capacity. Production goals were exceeded and as a result the people of the Sunbury facility were awarded the Army/Navy E for excellence. In 1946, Nestea was first produced in Sunbury. Numerous specialty products were added as the plant soon found itself producing a wide variety of items. Production of coffee and tea continued throughout the early 1960's until a new coffee product was introduced. I'd like to tell you about the best coffee news in years. This is ground roast coffee the best coffee you can make. This is instant coffee the fastest coffee you can make. They've always been this far apart (motions with both arms spread out). Flavor (looks left), convenience (looks right). But now we've finally brought them together with a completely new kind of coffee, Freeze-Dried coffee. The name is Taster's Choice. Now, what's freeze-dried coffee? It starts here, fresh from the percolator. We pour a perfect cup of coffee, freeze it in a split second then vacuum away the ice. Dry, so not one bit of that flavor and aroma is lost. There, you've got fresh brewed coffee, freeze-dried. All you do is put back boiling water and you have a cup of coffee that looks like, smells like, tastes like your own fresh perked. Taster's Choice the Freeze-Dried Coffee Try it. In 1979 construction began on NTE, an all natural coffee decaffeination process that used coffee oil as a solvent to remove caffeine from coffee. The process was commissioned in 1981. Following the commissioning of NTE, employment at the plant reached an all time high of around 280 people. Twenty-five years after the first case of Taster's Choice rolled off the line the freeze-dried process was shut down. Environmental concerns, coupled with over-capacity and sagging sales led to this decision. In June of 1993 the decision was announced to close the decaffeination facility also. PEOPLE For many years people have reported to work here. They have celebrated birthdays and retirements. Shared good times and bad. (Background music "I Remember You") For over 100 years the people of Sunbury have been here, producing quality, working together. Our family album is like that of any family, rich with memories. Friendly faces, friends, and most of all family.

Title A name given to the resource Tour of Community Library with Rachel Cring Description An account of the resource TOUR Of COMMUNITY LIBRARY MAY 1986 Rachel Cring narrating RC: ... Sunbury and today we're going to take you on a very brief tour of the library to show you basically what we do there. Um we're standing out here on the Sunbury Square right now because I wanted to tell you a little bit about the history of the library before we start. Um, Community Library is named that because it does not represent just the Sunbury community, but the Sunbury, Galena, and Center Village or Harlem Township. Back in 1944 a group of ladies from the Sunbury and Galena YWCAs got together for a tea and talked over the fact that it would be a good idea to have a library. So a very short time later, um, such a library was started over on the corner where the Sunbury News now stands. Actually the library was started in the basement of a butcher shop that stood there at that time, but that building has been moved up to another location But this is the location where it was. And then after several years the library moved up Vernon Street to a house that is now burned and so we can't show you that. But in the early '50's then finally it moved across the street to where it now is located in the Sunbury Town Hall. Um, we'll start walking over toward the Town Hall while we talk about the Hall itself. It is on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. It was built in 1868 by public subscription. Um, people in town gave money to build this building and it was used as a school. It was the Sunbury Union Institute. Over the years it's been used as a church, fire department, my mother worked there as a volunteer in the rationing office. It's been a jail. At the time that the bank moved it was used as a bank and there used to be a vault in it. At the time that it was built for $6500 the Masons in town gave $1500 of that to build the third floor where they had their Masonic Temple for years. And then later on after they moved out it became a youth center and there was a pool table up there for awhile. Basically, the building shows us that this town has always been interested in working for the things that feels it needs. Initiative has been a very strong tradition in the town and it has been used basically for just anything that didn't have some place else to go. So that's what happened when the library needed a place in the early '50's. We'll go in and you can see the first floor. When I used to come here in the sixth grade, the first floor was the entire library. Half of the first floor was the adult department and half was juvenile. And then by the early'60's we had expanded into the second floor, and then after I came back as Director in the '70's we went on to the third floor. So we'll go in now and see who's in there working. By the way, Irene will not be at her desk because she's operating the camera, so don't trip Irene. OK, this is the adult section and the main circulation desk of the library. Here is Charlene Tweedy and she's gonna smile at you just like she does. She's one of our main circulation people. Always looks pretty and smiles. Well it's true Charlene. Do you want to say anything about your job here at the library? What people should know? Charlene Tweedy Maybe I should have prepared a speech RC: Should have prepared a speech, chuckles. CT: Well it's a great job. I enjoy working here, I enjoy the people. It's fun. RC: If we had a worst problem what would it be? CT: Well, we certainly are hurting for space. We'd love a new building some day (off camera voice, "I hate mosquitos.") RC: Prompting, chuckles. And over here, thank you Charlene. CT: You're welcome. RC: This is Joyce Seitz over here which is not her accustomed place, but this morning she's trying to...(Joyce is working with the card catalog) Joyce this is, who knows who may be watching this someday. And we'll see in a moment where Joyce normally works upstairs. But, uh this morning we're going to look quickly at the adult section down here. And one thing I guess I need to point out is that since this building was not built for a library, several years ago we started seeing real structural damage and the village had to apply for funds to do a renovation, which was fine except that at that time we had some major changes that made living in the building even harder for us. For instance, we used to have a little bitty restroom, and now we have a great big one, but really, chuckles, the capacity has not increased. This restroom is almost as big as our whole technical processing department upstairs but it still has room for only one actual restroom stall. And, uh, in building it they set it in the room in such a way that we have also, you maybe wanta come back in here Irene and shoot, a cul-de-sac and this is where our generality starts. Non-fiction starts back in the corner if you get over here and peer that way you can see some of the pictures from our art lending collection, everything here circulates. And then from this corner the collection continues around the wall and into the second room here. (lots of background talking by various people). This um, give Irene a chance to (unintelligible) (sound of baby fussing) the section in the center here behind the card catalogs is our entire ready reference section that we can keep on the main floor. We have many, many more reference books in boxes upstairs which you'll see in a couple of minutes. And, let's come back into the council room now. When the library moved in here, this was still being used for council meetings and there was a huge table in the center, and we would work around it. We had special cases, bookcases designed with rollers so that when events would take place in here we could push them back against the wall and they could go ahead and have meetings or voting, uh, collected taxes here, done blood pressure checks just basically anything that needed a place to go would come here and we would try to accomodate it by pushing back the, the cases. After the renovation, however, they decided that, um, we couldn't have everything packed into the room so we took out everything except the cases that we absolutely had to have for the adult collection that's in view. Oh, we left out where we keep our westerns. Just keep rolling and we'll go back in here. Now Irene, you will have to step in here and shoot this without me because this is where we keep the westerns, the paperbacks, the paper supply, the staff refrigerator for downstairs, various things we can't fit in anywhere else. Um, and people who want westerns do have to come back in here and kind of crawl around to find them. Okay now, if you come out again, the other thing I forgot to point out was where the booklift used to be. Um, when the village moved us in here, in the 60's I guess, it was when we extended into the second floor, they added a booklift which used to be right in here, and it served alright for many years and only broke and collapsed, oh maybe five,six times. So now you see a table of books that we do hand-carry to the second floor where the pages can put them away, they've got to get them up there. This is one of the really pressing problems that we have with a multi-story building and no book lift. Now go back through the council room and we're going to go into the back stairwell and up the back way to the second floor. On the way I'll point out this is one of the things we feel bad about. These are donated books that are waiting for the flea market and we don't really have any good place to store those at this point so when they come in, we put them wherever we can and try to unload them the next flea market time. This back hallway here is what really I guess the main entrance of the building used to be. But now, for us in this section that used to be the vault for the bank and various things is our custodial area and it looks pretty good right now because it's just been cleaned out so it's not too bad. It is, however, a really, really damp room so anything that you put in there you might as well count on not using if it's paper. We try not to leave anything in here too long. And, uh, actually we have ended up with less space, less usable space than we had before and the other half of this stairwell you see more donated books, this is just a drop in the bucket. They also laminated some of our under stair space that we use to put donated books in and closed that up. And then back in the back is the fuse box and such. Now we're going to go up the steps and on the way up the steps you will see books and various things stacked on the steps which we know is not a good idea, but at this point we have no place else to put the things that we are saving. These are to be added to the collection, they've come in as donations. And up here we have some things that are waiting to go to the third floor. Since everything is hand-carried we take them up as we go. Out here is one of our audio visual cabinets. It has film strips and various things in it. Our record catalog which really we've never used that much so we basically use it like a shelf list. And then down here some of the AV equipment and such. Reserve books for the classes, uh, staff coat area. And now we're going to go in to the second floor. And the stacks are set in keeping with the loading plan that we were given when we came back in after the renovation. We do have load limits on all the floors, and in spite of that we are beginning to notice that the floors are, uh, rolling again. We've got some problems with the underflooring so it could be that we aren't(baby giggle),(adult chuckle) we may not be out of the woods yet on the building. And mainly juvenile, this is juvenile non-fiction, fiction, easy books. Here's our children's librarian Polly Brehm. Polly would you like to say anything about your job, good bad? PB: Nothing right now. But I'm trying to build a sticker for the Summer Reading Program. RC: A, designing a sticker for the Summer Reading Program. Poly works in approximately 30 square feet of space here, this is the entire children's department. This is where it happens. And on the other end over here we must point out where our clerk-treasurer works, again in approximately, actually 30 square feet is more than what she has. But this used to be just a cul-de-sac I guess, a stairwell thing, and we made it into an office because there was no place else to put her. If you want to Irene, why don't you stand up there and get a picture so that we can see how much is really crammed in here. (Background voices and noises) And actually this is an improvement over the situation that used to exist with the clerk-treasurer because it used to be that she worked back in the technical processing area (background voice "Polly, phone", "Thank you") and had absolutely no privacy and no place to put the papers when she was working with. This, and over here is where the books come up, where the book lift used to be, again, this is where it would emerge but now the books are here waiting to be (unintelligible). And we'll come back into the technical processing area, and here's Helga. This is another thing that we have on the second floor is our video...this is it, Helga Helga: That's it RC: You're on camera Helga: Oh boy RC: The covers we keep over there and then come back in here you can see that, give the cover over to Helga and she'll come back and get it on again. It's an unwieldy situation but it's the only place we have to put those things. Now this, as I said, is the entire office area, we call it the technical processing but it's a lot of other things too. This desk where no one is sitting except the black bag, that's the camera bag, and Irene is running the camera so obviously you won't see her right now. Here's Paula. Let's get a picture of Paula, whose area we just showed. PP: Do we have to? (background voice"yes") RC: This is our clerk treasurer Paula Phillips and she's the one who makes it up and down that little set of steps into the 30 square feet. And back in here then, the typewriter with the empty chair over there is where Joyce would normally be and she's downstairs right now, as you just saw. And then back in the corner is the desk where Erin Davis, who's our audio/ visual person and graphics person, and she comes in here around 3 each day or a little after. This entire area is around 200 square feet and in it at any one time anywhere from three to maybe five or six people could be working on a, on a busy day. If someone is sitting at the typewriter typing, and someone's at each desk. And someone's also doing video. And then this is my desk which, uh, doesn't always look this bad, but sometimes does. This is basically the place where I do the administrative work, cataloging and everything else right now. Papers. And all kinds of statistics and everything. So this area right in here is one of the most active areas of the entire library. During the Summer reading program time especially on Thursday afternoons when we have the reading club deal. During the time that that's going on and their parents are here to get video and the kids are here to get to get their books and (unintelligilble) this place is just like a zoo; literally,it's extremely active. OK, let's come over and look at the periodical section that's up here. Hello, ladies. Be sure to get pictures of people actually checking out things (background conversations, "Like a bad penny, we keep turning up.") These boxes of books that you will see sitting around are boxes that have come in from the big book order that we were able to place at the very end of last year because we didn't know whether or not we would have funds to buy books. So we had accumulated our orders and they came in and now we have a work load problem when so many come in at one time. OK, back in here, this is the juvenile card catalog, but then this is again where we keep the video, also it's where we keep the current issues of the periodicals, our pattern collection, which is quite actively used. People... This is the only place in the village of Sunbury and around that you can get patterns. We take the current Simplicity catalog so people can come here and browse. And um the reason that you don't see more magazines is that the back issues from the years before are up on the third floor along with the books that we can't get on to the regular shelves. So let's go up to the third floor now and look at one of our two closed stack areas. We did move our records up here and we have the micro film, one of two that we own. Microfilm/fish reader/printer and then this is the microfilm cabinet. We also have our office, the in-house copier that we use for (unintelligible) in here with the video audio, and periodicals, so when we're trying to produce something to get out right away, it's mayhem with everybody going in different directions. OK now we're going to go up to the third floor, and we're going to see one of the real headaches for this library. Um, since we cannot load the floors heavily enough to put everything out, since there simply is not space to put everything out that we own in the adult collection, several years ago we started taking the slower moving books and putting them into boxes, coding them, so that we could retrieve them but then moving them to a closed stack area where we just basically store them without having to use shelves. And then after the renovation of the library and our load limits on all three floors were reduced so, ah, the door almost stuck, that would have been a good demonstration. After the renovation we had to cut back even more, we had to establish two closed stack areas. This looks absolutely terrible and there's a reason for it. First of all, the books that are on the floor in the boxes are ones that, still are being used but not so actively as to justify space on a shelf. You can tell by the numerous boxes with the open tops, books are being put in and taken out of the boxes. At one point I started putting books back on the regular shelf after they came out and discovered once again, of course, that we were overflowing so we have to now return them to these boxes, once they're checked out. Also around the edge are the hard copy of the magazines that we're taking, and these also are used. This mess that you see right here is a piece of shelving that collapsed recently. We think maybe the earthquake had something to do with it but we're not certain. It's going to have to be re-built and we're working toward that. Our maintenance person has only a certain number of hours per week and right now it's catch as catch can but we're trying to put that back together. Over here against the wall are some of the bound copies that the library had started of National Geographic, hobbies, things that are of particular value to them. And then the office supplies, saw horses that we used for moving. The empty piece of shelving that had to be taken, actually these need to go back up to, the furnace burned out and had to be replaced. Basically this is our catch-all spot and right now it looks bad, mainly because of the collapse of this piece of shelving. But the entire collection of the library numbers around, it's nearing 60,000 volumes and was really pretty thoroughly weeded several years ago. And right now our standard turnover rate is one of the higher in the state. So we don't feel that there's a lot of dead wood here. The original inclination is to walk on the floor and say well why don't you get rid of these things? Well, because they're still being used. And if our turnover rate were lower we might worry about it, but right now we feel very certain that if we throw away some of this stuff we're going to regret it. So we don't want to do that too soon. Now we're going to go down the steps and out and we're going to go across to the other closed stack area, the one that we established at the time that the library was out of the town hall while we had to move out while it was being renovated. And then where we ended up having to leave some of the books in a warehouse area because they couldn't be brought back in because of the reduced load limit. That means that when someone wants to borrow a book and it's not in the collection here in the building, the page has to take the cert card and make the trip that we're about to make across to the ware- house, get it, and then bring it back. So you're ready to hike up... The place that we're headed is straight across the street here down the walk, as I said is the place that the library moved to when it had to move out of the town hall. Um, again we had to decide on which books to leave in the public area because that was very limited on the first floor here which is now an antique mall and then we stored everything else that we could in the basement underneath it. And the leftover, the books that we still had that we had no place for we put in a storage room down the street, that is now the Long Branch Pizza. So in 1983 your Community Library was located in three different spots, all at one time. Now page coming across to retrieve a book, if it's during the hours that the Sunbury Antique Mall is open, that simplifies it a bit because we'll walk in and go down the steps. If it's before or after that, then the page would have to come across and go around this whole set of buildings, down the alley (background conversations and traffic noise.) OK, originally this was a drug store years ago, it's now... there's Phyllis. Hi Phyllis we're making a little, we're making a little film this morning Phyllis: but not.. RC: to show how the library works and we're on our way to our closed stacks so Phyllis: Your closed stacks RC: our closed stacks in the basement. We try not to bring money when we come here because it's too tempting, other... Be careful now (unintelligible comments) think about how tricky this would be Phyllis: Careful you don't trip on those display cases. And if they're in your way let me know. RC: Oh ok. Here's a chair for... Now the light down here may be difficult. Oh, gotta find the key too. We have our own separate entrances and exits each one of us. We tend to use each others 'cause were friends. Ok we're going to go downstairs. Now I don't know Irene this may be too dark. We'll give her a try, you just keep shooting, we'll see later what we get. Irene: hard to see what ... RC: OK because this is shared space and because we can't afford it to begin with, our books are in these boxes and again you see the tops are open, we are getting in and out of them. But then at any one time when we come over here we may discover that the antique people have put some of their extra antiques around for storage which is what Phyllis was referring to. In this corner these particular boxes are not circulating books. These are the ones that we brought over waiting for the next flea market. All these are donated books, and we do have the flea market in town three times a year and the library participates in at least one of those and sometimes all three. Usually they do two of them. At the time that we were in here this whole, this floor was used for closed stacks and then all of our technical processing was done down here the clerk-treasurer was here. Um, just basically all of the clerical things were done in this area. We did have a, a flood one time when the, when it rained so hard that the water came in on the floor above us and ran down the pipes and everything. And since we're located under a dentist's office you can always tell when he's working because you could hear the constant flow of water, so that was something that we put up with for about a year. Ok this is um, this is called the basement closed stacks and that's how the cards are coded for the books that are down here. Where Irene is shooting from is where I used to do my work, in fact my old desk is underneath here. We had no provision for moving out, we were told that we had to be out within a month of the time that... and so we took what we got and this was left by the old NAPA Auto Parts place and I discovered that I could bring my desk chair over and this was an ideal, this was the only room that we had anyway, so I wouldn't have had room for a big desk so I worked in here, our former well, reference person, the one whose place you took, Irene, used to work in that section and she was surrounded by shelves on each side. Joyce did the technical processing right where that one bunch of books is and then the clerk-treasurer did her thing just a bit farther back. And it was really crowded and that was the time we started video so originally we had our video cassettes down here and when someone wanted to check one out, one of us would have to run upstairs with the actual cassette to insert into the case. So I suppose what we have now is an improvement over that. Irene: I'm assuming the light was much better then, when you worked here? RC: Well we turned on these, but the light was never really good, ever. Irene: So it was pretty much like this? RC: Yeah, it was a little bit lighter but not much. It was really, bad working conditions, so that as I say now when we go back into a building that's as clean and pretty as the one we're in, we think, "Oh, gee, it isn't as bad as it used to be" there temporarily for awhile when we were out. But, um, none of these situations are good. What now? Oh, our slide here. We left because this is how we got the boxes in, and since we're not sure whether we will have to move again soon or not, we figured we might as well leave it. Ok, now we'll go back up and we'll take a break until the classes show up. And when the school classes are bussed in, we'll be sure to get a picture of that, and then explain how that whole system works with the schools. On our way out we are going to go up and around through the alley the way a page would do if they couldn't just come through the Sunbury. OK. Now if you'll keep rolling Irene, I don't know how we're going to negotiate this but I'll try. OK, I'll come out first (chuckles). It's really funny because I've lived in Sunbury all of my life and some of the other ladies who work with us have too. But until we moved into this storeroom many of us had never seen this back alley in town before. We didn't know everything that was back here. We got a Chinese restaurant down the way. And, and the time we were out of the building and had our books stored, we had to put a security system in because the room that we were using the kids would climb up the roof of the Chinese restaurant and break in (chuckles). So we didn't want that to happen. There's another antique truck. Sunbury is an antiquer's mecca now. And we will walk down the street. Should we mention that this was the shop that Cliff Barns from Dallas went through? (chuckles) Cliff was all over town. And then as we get to this corner, uh, the viewer will be re-oriented because you'll be able to see the town hall again. In fact, maybe this would be a good place, yeah, I guess we could see it from here. You can get a good perspective. There's where the Town Hall is that we came from. This is the street that we have just come across and circled around. And then if you'll make a complete turn Irene, we'll make a complete history of the library. Over there where those two trucks are parked is where the little white building stood which was the library when I was a little kid in school. We used to walk down from the elementary and up and into that building, but it burned. And it was at that point, well it burned after we had moved out. But when we moved in to the town hall, Polly Brehm, our children's librarian that you just met, was, I'm not sure what grade she was in, but she was young and used her wagon to transport books across the street from that little white building to the town hall. So she's a, really, she has a lot of seniority if it all counted. Ok, now we'll cross the street and, as I said, we'll check out until the classes come. This might be a good place to end this segment. Then we can walk in. Our first, no our second set of classes for the day, we're not sure exactly how many we have coming today because the teachers may have brought more than we had expected on the schedule. But, um, before they start up the walk here I wanted to explain briefly how this started. We are the school district library for the Big Walnut School District, and years back what they used to do was to put together boxes of books and send them to the schools and then the classes in each school, would rotate those boxes and share them and if teachers got the chance to, they would walk their classes down to the library but then the schools that were located too far to walk got kind of cheated out. So when I came back as director, and we looked into various ways that we could improve the programming of the library and, and make the whole operations stronger, we decided at that point to get in touch with the schools and arrange something which has turned out to be a wonderful arra.., uh, plan for the, at least the last ten years. Every class from kindergarten through sixth grade in the Big Walnut Schools comes to this library once a month. Um, in addition we have classes occasionally come from the junior high and the high school, but, but it's certain that we have it scheduled for the classes from kindergarten through sixth. We thinks this helps builds our future constituency. Very often when kids move in to town, they come with their classes and find out where the library is and then they bring back their parents and it becomes a family thing. They become used to coming to a central point, to a real library for their library service, and to using the card catalog which was something else that we couldn't do by going out to the schools. They didn't get the experience of actually searching. So now what we do is, you're about to see one of the classes come up the walk here. They will come in to the library, and they'll be looking for books, we'll be assisting them. In fact you'll notice that some of us are wearing our clickers, we have a, these little tally counters for the market we have converted to reference questions counters, and the gold one is reference, informational questions. The buff colored one is directional questions. We found out this is what we had to do because when the class gets here and we're runnning up and down the aisles answering all the time, you come off the floor and don't know how many questions you answered. So we've never turned in really accurate reference figures before this year. Um. We can kind of hear them coming now. The ones that are in kindergarten don't usually require so much help, but as they get older, and get up in the grades and start doing reports it really does become a hairy time when the classes get here. Once they have arrived on the cor...oh they're coming up this way, Irene. (kids talking) RC: They're carrying in boxes which they had the last time. (unintelligible narration) And Irene's going to just shoot like crazy OK, here come the classes Comments by unknown persons: It's so beautiful something like that Staff Member: thank you thank you Teacher: Now, I have to finish this book, I have three pages to read to them. We're going to review it. I'm reading as fast as I can. (conversations) Did she give you this? Alright Student: Excuse me, but why are you filming us...? RC: We're just showing... RC: Now if we can get down where it's safe, Irene kids chattering Student: Put cookie on book. Put cookie on book. laughter Student: New York Times RC: Let's see what the other class is doing RC: Other component of the library operation, in fact the only building that the library owns, and that is the Hopkins House over on the south corner of the square. That's where we do our programming, it's basically the only place that we have at this point that we can meet any groups. It was given to the library in 1970.... The Hopkins House was given to the library in 1977 I think by the McMillans, Harold... Um, to be used for library purposes. Now, it is also on the National Register of Historic Places. In fact, it and the town hall are the two buildings in town that are on the Register. It cannot be used for a library as you will see when we get over there. It's simply not big enough, it's not suited for that sort of thing. It was originally a stage coach inn and it was the home of one of the two founders of Sunbury. And it would be ideal for a museum some day, but what we are using it for right now is basically as the programming, the teen media center is there. Let's see, um, The Friends have a base of operations there. They're trying to raise money to renovate the building. And if we did not have it at this point we would have to really curtail some of the things that we're able to do with the school groups. Now when the bus pulls up, half the group gets off and goes to the library as you just saw, and the other half goes across and then to the Hopkins House. We always have to stop traffic at this corner. This is also used as headquarters for our international fair in the spring and um, ABE classes, Adult Basic Education Classes. Just basic library programming. Wherever, whatever...this is the place we put it. But again it's certainly not an ideal building. Don't trip Irene. A We're going to go in here and we'll see June Carter and the other class that she's working with. We'll try not to distract them too much. And then we'll go throughout the rest of the building and see what else goes on. Bell ringing Film Strip narration: "That's what your dog is for (beep) after all no one looks at things quite like you except maybe your pet (beep) your pet's someone very special you can share your time with (beep) whether you're alone (beep) or with a whole bunch of people (beep) no one does things quite like you with your dog (beep) sometimes he may be a bit frisky (beep) maybe because he needs exercise regardless of the weather outside (beep) and then, everything is just right (beep) your dog is a good way to make new friends (beep) perhaps a right way for you to start a conversation with someone you just met or someone you want to meet (beep) almost everybody likes dogs (beep) and cats (beep) and everybody likes to touch and feel warm and loved (beep) and that's what pets are for, to make us feel warm and loved (narration continues in the background) RC: We're coming up here to see what else happens in the Hopkins House. June, who you will see in a few minutes down there after this class changes, we'll stick around and see the next class come in, is very active in the Humane Society and so at least once a year during the program classes she gets a chance to do something about animals which she really enjoys doing that. Last year she had a live dog and I had to ... But she'll talk to them then about pets. Upstairs here now, again this is kind of a "dump space" and this area mainly just the library stuff goes into this part so we don't take too many pains with it. But we are going to come in and see the computer room. (narration still in the background) We are making an attempt to automate by degrees our library processes and so we have a magnawriter and printer here. We've been doing payroll on the computer now for practically a whole year and we're trying to get some of our other files on there. We have things in here from last year's float, from the International Fair that we do, the materials for the teen center we keep over here and then take them over when the center's open. We have, oh like, drywall figures that we've made and hate to throw away because they're just so good, and we do re-use them at fairs and such places. Having done this for several years we've learned how to re-use some of our valuable things. This is Miss Piggy, no film of the library would be complete without Miss Piggy. And we did her a couple of years ago when she was part of the logo, I guess, for National Library Week and she's been so popular that we always end up taking her to the fair and various places. And she's almost gotten shot a couple of times by the police when they've come in to see about the security system going off. Back in here is our paper room, where we store the Gestetner which we no longer use that much. But paper, a lot of the materials for children's story hour and the summer reading program. If you do a lot of programming you end up having a lot of things that you use only occasionally, and yet you hate to throw them away because so much effort has gone into them and they can be re-used. So this is a lot of what we use the upstairs here at the Hopkins House for is storing these materials. Let's take a trip into the front room here. Again this room is storage, and I don't know where the light switch is because we never use it. We have a little portable puppet stage here, a dragon's head that we use in the, or should be using in the procession for the International Fair. Twenty-four easels that were made for us. One year we were able to offer an art course through the High School here at the Library, er at the Hopkins House through the library, and a couple of the men in our Friends of The Library group made these easels for the people to use, cheaper than we could buy them anywhere and probably much better. So we've used them a lot since then, uh, even after the art class was over we have used them for displays and different things. We're going to be having an art show here this weekend. And some of these will be put up to put pieces of art around. We're going to come out on the porch just because it's neat to get this view of the town and this has little to do with the Library operations, but what we're looking at is the Walhonding Indian Trail. There goes a good representative school bus. And right along this street, which is the old 3 C's there used to be six different stage coach inns. Here we go, there's the class leaving now and they're going to be going across to the library to get books and class on the other side will come over here to see June. (students chattering, teacher talking). Getting toward the end of the school year they're really pretty calm considering (chuckles). Teacher: Hold it, hold it, hurry girls RC: Alright, maybe we can sneek downstairs now and get a word with June before the other class gets here. I'm not sure she's planning on saying anything but we'll just have her make something up. Yeah we're doing it JC: (June Carter) Hey the screen looks great RC: Yeah JC: The wall looks nice too RC: This is June Carter, you know as we say she's active with the Humane Society. So this is at least the, we have at least one animal program per year. JC: yeah RC: with the kids JC: really because,uh, as I point out to the kids the kindergarten and first graders check out nearly, what, 80-90% animal stories. And when it gets RC: uh hum JC: Oh yeah, and when it gets to about third or fourth there's still half the books are animal stories. RC: I didn't realize that JC: And you know I've just taken an impromptu survey by the time they get to fifth or sixth you still have about 20% of the kids, you know, they have a library book that's an animal book so one program a year is RC: There's scientific reason behind this then JC: Yeah RC: Yeah, alright I didn't realize that was the case. Maybe we can get a better look at the room now that the lights are on, let's go in there real fast before the other class gets over here. Irene, you're doing a great job, you haven't fallen down once yet with this (chuckles) This is the um, one of the older rooms. It's got the fireplace and it had a little portion of the painting that the itinerate painters did over the mantels and everything. This is a picture of the McMillins who gave the house, actually it was Mr. McMillin who gave it in memory of Mabel Bell. They had talked about doing it and then within about a year or so she died so he went ahead and gave this property to the library in her memory. And, uh, this is really a very old room. We are hoping someday that it could be, if not a Williamsburg restoration, then at least some kind of renovation that would make it look decent again like it did. But we simply do not have the money at this point, the Friends, and, let's go ahead and, oh that class isn't here yet. We'll, they're not on their way either. We'll travel back quickly and see what The Friends are doing. The Friends of the Library are very concerned about this building, as well as the library, and this is the room that Adult Basic Education uses. You can see their files and everything in the back there. But The Friends decided that they wanted to try opening a Thrift Shop that would be a long-term, stable way of making money that could be accumulated to renovate the building. And so we're going to come in now to the Thrift Shop. And this is what the back rooms are used for. Now next week when we have the art show, if we have enough art that needs to come into these rooms too, everything that you see in here will be pushed together and shoved back into the back room. So this will all be bare and there will be art hanging here. In fact, everything that comes into this building is supposed to be made portable so that if we have a program that needs the space it can be pushed back and the space can be used for library functions. It is an awful lot of work but we have no choice, we have no place else to go. This back room is where they do the actual selling and they have a little bit of everything. This is always a revelation for people to come in here. Some of us on the library staff have built our whole wardrobes. This, this pair of pants I'm wearing may even be Irene: This very pair, yes RC: from this thrift shop and you really find some wonderful things here, you know, that people give away. But we can walk through here then, and we'll come through the kitchen area, and into the other half which is also thrift shop. The Friends have amassed several thousand dollars, at this point, which is more or less earmarked for the roof. The really bad problem with this building right now, there are two, one is the south sill, and the other is the roof. And that's what's giving all of us concerns so this is the summer that that needs to be done. And this is the other half. The restroom that we have is, sigh, just the bare minimum that one would need I guess. When this building was given to the library, there were four different families renting the place, this was in four different apartments and so we had to ask them to leave of course. And some, some of the things that they had to put up with were really terrible and we aren't doing much better. The only restroom that is really functioning was, was this one we are using now. This back room is what we call our heritage room. And again we do not have the space, and things keep getting pushed in here because we have no place else to put them. To make it look the way it should look, and yet in here is a tremendous wealth of material. About the area itself, local history, um, families, some family trees filed back in here. Polly, our children's librarian is also the one who has the most knowledge at this point of what is in this room. We have a couple of fire-proof files, the old micro-film reader, which we don't have much occasion to use, but we put it over here for the day when this will be open to the public. And that's really the reason this looks the way it does right now. And the public does not come in here because the things that we have, we basically take over to the library and allow them to use them there, when, when it's necessary. Then in this same room is the trap door that goes into the basement. Now I hear the cow bell in front so it sounds like the other class is coming. Background conversations and cow bell ringing Teacher: Well Hi, chuckles RC: just a minute to hear the beginning of June's program (students talking) JC: When you came in you didn't know which way to face, it's this way. I always like to be different. OK, we're going to do two different things today and I wanted to tell you that, that um, I found out that so many children in kindergarten right through the seventh grade check out animal stories that we thought we'd like to do at least one animal story every nine months. And this one Mrs. Green gave to me, it's a new to the library but I'm sure the author's not new to you, Bill Peak. How many of you have read Bill Peak stories? OK. If you look where my finger is you can see the list of the author's books, one of thems right here "Chester the Worldly Pig", how many of you ever read about Chester? chuckles, Ok it's a good one. OK, this one's good too. One of the reasons I like Bill Peak books, he does his own illustrations and they're just great, they're just, even if you don't know the story, you cannot read a word, you can go through and enjoy his illustrations. So this one's called "The Gnats of Knotty Pine", and kids it is about a bull moose but it's also about gnats. Pardon? Student: What are gnats? JC: Gnats, can somebody tell off camera students: Oh yeah, They're like these little tiny bugs JC: Teeny tiny off camera student: and they, little, you know like, dogs and stuff JC: They're teeny tiny insects as I'd used to say when I'd see this word "the guh-nats", right? OK, then when we get through with this we'll turn the other way and watch, watch the slides. The giant bull moose shivered... RC: Reading the story about the gnats. And we're going to walk around here to the side to see where our dream is. When McMillin gave this land, or gave this house to the library, maybe this is the easiest way to go, we also got the side yard here. And Irene is about to walk through wet grass, laughs, in her high heels. Good luck. Um, we, we got this amount of land and then some of it behind. But, um, over a period of then the next couple of years after we had received the property, we had an architect from Columbus come up and do a feasibility study for us and look into what it would take to use the Hopkins House in conjunction with the Town Hall for the library operation, and basically, you know, how it would be best to go about finding a facility that has the amount of space that we need. Right now we, we need a minimum of 800 square ..., I'm sorry, 8,000 square feet in which to operate. Chuckles, We have like 800 -no it feels like 800, we have actually about half that much when you count just the useable space in each of the two buildings for library purposes. It's probably less than half that for actual public area, so we're in real bad straits as you have seen. So we were looking into how we could do it using the building that we lease from the Village along with the Hopkins House that we then owned. And after awhile it became obvious that, because these places are historic landmarks for one thing, there are things that we wouldn't want to do to them. And besides that, you simply can't expand the town hall at this point unless you would excavate under it, or, someone even suggested at one time putting a bubble over the top of it and developing around. We'd looked at all the various ways of doing it and decided that it just wasn't feasible after all. And so about that time, we can start moving back here now, we had some land given to us, and it was one of the few vacant lots left on the square. This was another subject for discussion that we have found that the library, um, is ideally located in the center of town. We looked at different places that we could have moved to but people want it there, and we have found that it's very actively used since it's there. So we wanted to stay as close to the town square as possible, and there just plain isn't too much land around to move into. But this particular lot is one of the vacant ones, and it was given to the library then in, oh dear, 19 maybe 78-79 in there. Half of it by Howard Cring in memory of his wife Florinel and the other half by the Ruthig family and the Williamson family. Mrs. Ruthig had been on our board and knew of our need and thought this would be an appropriate gift in memory of some of the members of her family who had also run businesses on the Sunbury Square. Now, we did some negotiating and got our, traded a little land here and there so that now the lot on which the Hopkins House sits, does have a direct hook-up to this vacant lot that was given to us. And we hope that eventually, if the plumbing company moves, in this brown building that you see, if it should ever move out, we would hope to be able to acquire that land. And we did try to acquire the land that the Lawsons Store now stands on, but we weren't too successful in that. The stones that you see here on the stone fence, I see some of the kids broke pop bottles last night, but the stones here in the stone wall were from the building that had stood there that was demolished in order to build Lawsons. And that had been the Burrer Tavern. It was a beautiful building with walls that were a foot wide and it had been built by the Burrers, who were the stone masons that came from Germany. And in fact, the librarian right before me was Dillie Burrer, married one of the Burrer brothers. And so this meant alot to us, and we kept the stones hoping that if we do get to build the library eventually, we can somehow incorporate them into an entranceway, or into a little patio, or something so that we won't lose entirely the feeling of this end of town. This part of town was supposed to be the historic house district for Sunbury because so many of the houses along here do have real historic background. The Founders had built two houses along here and there was a harness shop and then of course the Burrer tavern. But what we hope now to do, as we move down on to this end, this would be the vacant lot where we would like to build a new library. I don't know how it will show up on the film, but it's almost three building lots. And we have a plan, Schooley Caldwell in Columbus is our architect at this point and they have given us a plan that shows that we could build a building on here that would meet our needs, and it would have a direct link-up then to the Hopkins House, and we could continue to use it for whatever we needed at that point. Since we will probably not be able to build everything that we need to begin with it may be a phased plan, and so we may have to continue to use the Hopkins House for programming, but then eventually it could be used for administrative offices or whatever at that point we needed. But definitely this is the big dream now. If we had a building that was large enough to accomodate our whole collection so that it wouldn't have to be fragmented into boxes and closed stack areas in different places. If we had an area that was all on one floor, you know, it breaks our heart to see kids come in to the library and not be able to get upstairs unless they are carried. The only place that someone in a wheelchair can really get to in that library where we are now is the restroom. They can't really even get between the shelves very easily to get their book. And so there are some really pressing reasons that we, we have needed a new library for at least the last 15 years I can say without question, because when I came to Community Library as director, assistant in '73 and then became director in '75, at that time the Board was really seriously looking into (chuckles) various options for lots and where to build and everything because it was a serious problem and had been by then. So maybe what we could do is, Irene, let's walk out here and, if we come right out here to the center of the lot, this is Evening Street that we're facing. And that green land beyond there is the Miller property, facing 3 C's. Some day when we finally get our library built on this lot we hope it will have a lovely window that looks out through there. And if this were toward evening, there would be a setting sun out there. So since it's a traditional way to end films, let's pretend that this is the setting sun in the west and with that CT: ...at the Community Library. I'm here at the Hopkins House showing the annual arts show that goes on through the library and the Big Walnut High School and the Intermediate School. What it is it's the students in the art classes do their work and we bring it in and we have a two day show and it's also open to the public. Anyone who wants to bring in their paintings are allowed. And they're set up for the two days. And people seem to really enjoy them. And this is one of the many uses of the Hopkins House that we have here. I don't know, would we like to look around at some of the artwork that is done? The kids are really talented in this area. Most of these are from the high school kids in this room. There's a a scary one, chuckles.... we are shooting now are the ones from the seventh and eighth grader, the intermediate students of Big Walnut.
