DIRECTORS' REPORT
To His Honor the Mayor and City Council :
The directors of the public library are pleased to report that the library has continued during the past year its steady growth in usefulness, and its corresponding growth in public estimation. Many books of serious and lasting value have been added to its shelves; others, of value less in degree and permanence, have also been placed at the disposal of the public that desires them. These have been chiefly works of fiction, for in our city, as in all others, the demand for fiction is eager and exten- sive. But the right proportion between the varied kinds of literature which a varied public requires has been, we hope, justly preserved. That which is best has never been sacrificed to that which is popular.
Nor should it be forgotten that many children are holders of library cards, and that the greater part of juve- nile literature is normally fiction. Stories are, for children and for not a few grown persons, the natural first step in literature.
Action has been taken toward replacing the present in- adequate lighting of the library by an electric system

which will soon be in operation, and which promises to be a great improvement.
A detailed account of the purchase and circulation of books, and the condition of the library will be found in the accompanying report of the Librarian.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Book Committee, Newburyport Public Library:
In this, the 49th annual report of the condition and in- crease of the public library; the 15th by the present libra- rian, I take pleasure in laying before you the following information.
The library year closed November 30, 1903, with a credit of 39,390 volumes in stock. During the past 12 months there have been added 1337 books, 119 were can- celed as worn out and useless, of which 54 were replaced, and 15, all works of fiction, are lost or missing, making the total net stock at present 40,647.
The last report stated that the circularion of books for home use had increased by II per cent during the year. I am able to report a further substantial growth in the number of books withdrawn, the circulation standing 53,457 for the year just closed, as against 48, 168 for 1903, a gain of about 10 per cent. The figures given in my first report were 30,396, a growth during the time alluded to of about 75 per cent.
There are 5479 borrowers' cards in use, an increase from 4,761 last year, of which 4,515 are regular cards, 614
301
302
ANNUAL REPORTS
green cards, (good for any book except fiction) and 350 teachers' cards.
During the year 775 volumes have been sent to the bindery, of which 124 were magazines, forming new books, and 651 were old books rebound.
The library was open for the delivery of books to bor- rowers 307 days, all except Sundays and legal holidays, and the average daily circulation of books has been 174, ranging from 476 the largest, down to 72. There were only eight days during the year when less than 100 books were delivered, all during the summer months.
Received from fines $36 71
Paid P. O. box rent and postage $16 01
77
Freight and express
Miscellaneous supplies 2 10
Balance II 83
$36 71
The library has received no special donation or other note-worthy gifts during the year, but its collection of pic- tures has been added to by a portrait in oil of the late John Porter.
At this time of writing the building is being wired for electric light service, and within the next few weeks it is expected that one great drawback which has interfered with the usefulnesss of the library will be obviated.
During the year $2.246.34 in incomes from trust funds have been available for the purchase of books and other literature. Against this bills to the amount of $1,931.II have been approved, and paid by the treasurer.
In the same time the board has approved bills for the administration of the library to the amount of $3,846.46.
303
PUBLIC LIBRARY
The difference between that sum and and the $4,265.63, charged to library expenditure on the books of the city treasurer, represents charges not under control of the directors, and amounts to considerably more than the over- draft.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN D. PARSONS, Librarian.
