REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Board of Directors of the Newburyport Public Library:
During 1959, the library was open 299 days with a total of 93,174 books circulated for home use and countless reference books consulted within the building. This is an increase of 6,149 over the total book circulation in 1958. The stepped-up educational program has brought many more students - from elementary thru college - to the library in connect- ion with varied assignments. This would account for a large part of the increase. Many people, adult and children, who formerly used the Belle- ville Branch (closed in May 1957) now borrow books from the main library. Then too, many people have become somewhat "fed-up" with TV fare and Quiz show scandals and have gone back to reading and selective viewing. The following table is included for purposes of comparison of the 1958 and 1959 circulation :

Children appreciated their attractive well-lighted room and came to the library in increasing numbers after the move in Feb- ruary from the temporary Children's Room which had been set up in an end of the Reading Room during repairs.
Adult non-fiction circulated in 1959 was 40 per cent of the total adult circulation - up 2 per cent, from the previous year. Juvenile non- fiction circulation rose from 29 to 32 per cent of the total juvenile cir- culation in 1959. These big increases, percentage wise, in the circula- tion of non-fiction books would appear to be due largely to the increased use of the library by students of all ages. In addition, people are in- creasingly interested in reading about the back round of world affairs and in the new developments in science, mathemating, meteorology and edu- cational opportunities. Many books on these and related topics in the news have been in considerable demand during 1959 and account for part of the increase in non-fiction circulation.
Registered cardholders increased from 12, 867 in 1958 to 13, 166 by the end of 1959 - a gain of 299 despite the withdrawal of 1347 expired numbers. The number of adult cardholders increased by 105 in 1959, while the juve- nile gain was 154. Newbury cardholders, of whom 207 are juvenile, number- ed 671 in 1959 as compared to 645 in the previous year.
The total book stock of the library increased from 99,384 volumes at the end of 1958 to 100,525 at the end of 1959. Books added in 1959 num-
95
bered 2, 142; 1001 books were withdrawn during the same period. The gain in the book stock was 1,141 volumes. Of these additions, 1381 were pur- chased from the income of trust funds, 540 were purchased from appropri- ated funds, and the remainder received as gifts. A determined effort has been made to withdraw worn and obsolete titles in an effort to alleviate crowded book shelves. Much more can be done without injury to the cali- ber of the book collection, but "stack storage" for less used but neces- sary titles is an urgent need.
As the figures cited above indicate the Children's Rooms, both at the main library and the Andrews Branch library, have shown a steady in- crease in numbers of books circulated. Both Miss Clancy at the main lib- rary and Mrs. Brennan at the Andrews Branch report much greater use of reference books as a result of expanded school curricula. OnerKelly schooll class for example, has been making an intensive study of all phases of Rus- sia for the past several months. Books and magazines from the adult depart ment have been made available in the Children's Room to supplement the juv- enile book collection. Mrs. Brennan has suggested books for a number of the "Special Class" children at Brown school.
Instruction in the use of the library catalogue and basic reference books was given by Miss Clancy, in the fall, to seven fifth grade classes in the public schools, All classes, with the exception of those at Belle- ville school, came to the library accompanied by their teachers. In the case of the Belleville classes, Miss Clancy went to the school to give the library instruction.
Sixteen school deposits ( collections of thirty or more juvenile books) were lent to teachers in 1959 for use in their classrooms.
The 1959 Summer Reading Club had as its theme "Adventure Land Reading Club" and featured mounted cowboys helping the sheriff capture a stage coach robber. 195 enthusiastic helpers pursued "armed" with their reading of ten books, the various stages leading up to the final "lassoing" of the robber. 77 children completed the requirements, and were awarded Adven- ture Land Reading Certificates. Because of the large number who qualified, two parties instead of one, were held in the Children's Room in September in their honor. Eleven members of the Club were from the Andrews Branch, three were Plum Island summer visitors.
Book Week was observed in the Children's Room with attractive exhi- bits of new books, and three special Story Hours. From February to June, and from October to December weekly story hours were conducted by Miss Clancy at the Main library. In December, Miss Clancy reviewed some of the new children's books for the Women of the Moose and was presented with a book for the Children's Room.
The reference department was the scene of considerable activity in 1959. The school year brought heavy demands for book, magazine, or pamph- let material on a great variety of topics in connection with school assign ments. Scientific subjects - such as space-travel and nuclear physics - and medical topics continued in great demand as choices for term papers. There was a steady demand, surprisingly enough in this space-age, for books on Roman history and life in ancient Rome. As usual, adults pre- sented an interesting variety of requests for material for club papers on such topics as : atomic-powered submarines, use of glass in architecture, archaeology, history of political cartoons, history of advertising, and "wonder drugs". Requests for information on genealogical or historical data came from such far-flung places as New Mexico, California, Canada, Peru and Hawaii. We forwarded considerable data on William Wheelwright to a U.S. official in Lima, Peru. The Hawaiian correspondent, Harold W. Kent, president of a $100,000,000 school corporation in Hawaii, followed up his letters with a visit to the library for further information from the newspaper files. Mr. Kent is engaged in writing the biography of
96
Charles Reed Bishop founder of the school.
We have made frequent use of the facilities of the State Library Ex- tension Division in borrowing books on inter-loan to supplement our own book collection. During 1959 a total of 519 books were borrowed of which 330 were in French, Russian, Armenian, Polish and Greek. The other 189 books were on such specialized subjects as engineering optics, transitor technology, solar energy projects, German war trials, a Dutch dictionary, Chinese paper folding. Six books were sent on interloan from the Newbury- port Library to: Southhold Library, Long Island, N.Y .; Haverhill Public Library; Malden Public Library; Lincoln (Nebraska) Public Library; Ann Arbor (Michigan) Public Library; and the University of Tennessee Library (Knoxville).
Many people presented books to the Library in 1959, as the appended list of donors will testify. We are grateful to all. Expecially note- worthy among the gifts are addtional "Moses Kimball" papers, presented by Mrs. Carroll Ordway and Miss Mildred Goodrich; a copper engraving of the Tracy House (Public Library building) of the period when it was the Sun Hotel. The engraving, now suitably framed and on exhibit in the Director's Room of the Library, was presented by Mrs. Charles Batchelder. A bequest of $500 was left to the library by Miss Nellie Stone, a former Newburyport teacher.
The second National Library Week was observed the week of April 12 with nation-wide publicity focused on public libraries through the media of radio, newspaper, magazines and television. Many local merchants co- operated in allowing us to arrange displays of National Book Week posters and / or books in their store windows. We are indebted to the following merchants for the Library displays which they arranged: Chase Candy Store; Gordart; F. W. PrayCo .; Kray's and Premier Furniture. Posters were promi- nently displayed by Eaton's Drug Store and Liberty Market. Books by New- buryport authors attracted considerable interest when exhibited at the lib rary. During the week two of Mrs. Boyle's kindergarten classes, visited the library for a Story Hour by Miss Clancy. A Brownie group, with their leader Mrs. Matick were given a tour of the library ( including climbing the greatly admired spiral staircase) by the librarian.
January 1959 saw the completion of the installation of the new heat- ing system, started in December 1958. Many adjustment were made before the work was finally completed. Hitherto cold spots are now comfortably warm. The Children's Room repairs, long overdue, were completed by Febru- ary and the room resettled and reopened. The Williamsburg green of the walls, woodwork and bookshelves are an attractive background for the eager youngsters who love their new room. The lighting is excellent and we wish as effective a system could be installed throughout the building which, for the most part, is sadly under-lighted. Work on painting the vesti- bule and hall, begun in April was not completed until midsummer. Here again, pleasing colors and new lights have done much to present an invit- ing appearance. The present Reading Room is in need of paint, and, budget permitting, should receive early attention.
The old wrought iron lamp posts in front of the library building out of commission for many years, were repaired and rewired in time for Yankee Homecoming Week. Many townspeople have expressed happiness in seeing this bit of old Newburyport restored.
The Librarian is most grateful to each member of the Library staff, also Mr. John Szmura, the Library janitor, and to each substitute for the fine spirit of helpfulness and cooperation shown during the busy year past.
We wish to express our warm gratitude to each of the Library Direc- tors for the enthusiasm and wise planning which has made the first of our long-range improvementw a reality.
97
We hope that the new decade as well as the new year, will see new goals achieved and wider use of our library's resources.
Respectfully submitted,
Katherine M. Kuechle Librarian
