Selectmen's Report
To the Citizens of Williamsburg :-
Your Selectmen herewith present their report for the year ending December 31, 1916.
Your Selectmen were unable to carry out the vote of the Town in regard to the Grist Mill Bridge in Williams- burg for which there was an appropriation of $1600- $1100 in 1916 and $500 in 1917-and the sidewalk on Main Street, Haydenville, for which there was an ap- propriation of $1000, owing to the condition of the labor market. We had plans drawn but had no bids to do the work until after the First of October and we considered that was too late for good results. The bridge was re- paired at small expense and it is now safe for travel.

Report of Library Trustees
The Trustees of the Haydenville Public Library beg to make the following report :
The number of patrons and withdrawals of books re- mains about the same as last season. About 150 new books have been added to our library making the present number about 2700.
Every reasonable care has been taken to ensure the purchase of books that are the most desirable and worth while.
We would call attention to the fact that the library building has had a fresh coat of paint this past year. This coming year the rear room in the building will have to be replastered and the entire room repainted at an estimated cost of perhaps $20.00.
It may seem a little strange to the public to learn that one of the greatest troubles in the management of library affairs is in maintaining order among the boys and girls while the library is open for the withdrawal of books. It has been found necessary to have either the Constable or one of the Trustees present.
This obviously should not be so. Parents are earnestly urged to counsel their children on their good behavior while in the library, both to assist the librarians in their work and not to annoy those who are selecting books. The Trustees are now considering plans for the opening of the library three evenings a week, both for the with-
23
drawal of books and the use of the building for a reading room. This will involve a little more overhead charge but no larger appropriation because papers and maga- zines, up to a certain amount, will be bought instead of books.
