The Annual meeting of the Friends of the Library was held the evening of June 15 in the Reading Room of the library. Mr. and Mrs. Donald J. Marion, West Newbury, gave a most interesting illustrated talk on "Life in Land's End - Spain" where they lived for some months in the city of El Serrol.
In March, the librarian spoke to the D.A.R. on library services to the community and reviewed several books. In April, the librarian was present as a member of the Council for the Aged, at a meeting at the High School of the local Golden Age group and spike briefly to the assembled members and guests. She has attended meetings as a member of the Executive Board of the Merrimack Valley Library Associ - ation.
1960 saw the completion of another part of the long-range plans for Library renovation. The painting of the main corridor was completed the woodwork of the main stairway was refinished and part of the stair way walls washed and the two public wash-rooms were painted. The Read- ing Room was painted green, from floor to ceiling and new Venetian blinds installed in place of the old shutters. The "new look" is much appreciated by our library patrons. New florescent fixtures upstairs in the rear balcony alcoves and Reference section, as well as a few in the alcoves at the front of the building are a vast improvement over the former insufficient lighting. We hope that new lights can be in- stalled soon in the remaining alcoves to improve on the existing con- citions.
The Librarian is most grateful to each member of the Library Staff to Mr. John Szymura, Library custodian, and to each substitute for the fine spirit of cooperation shown during the very busy year just passed.

The total book stock of the library increased from 100,525 volumes at the end of 1959 to 101,499 at the end of 1960. Books added in 1960 numbered 1,971; 997 books were withdrawn during the same period. The net gain in book stock was 974 volumes. Of these additions to book stock, 1,325 were purchased from the income of trust funds, 491 were purchased from appropriated funds, and the remainder received as gifts. As in the past several years, a determined effort has been made to withdraw worn out books and obsolete titles in order to help alleviate crowded book shelves. "Stack storage" for less-used but needed titles is of increasing urgency.
The Children's Rooms both at the Main library and at the Andrews Branch library, as indicated by the net gain of 2,646 in juvenil. book circulation in 1960, are humming with activity. Both Miss Clancy at the main children's room and Mrs. Brennan at the Andrews branch report much greater use of reference books and supplementary materials made available from the adult department. All this increased activity very evidently derives from the stepped up school curricula.
In the fall, Miss Clancy gave instruction in the use of basic reference books and the library catalogue to six fifth-grade classes in the public schools. All classes, with the exception of those at the Belleville 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.
Nine school deposits (collections of thirty or more juvenile books) were lent to teachers in 1960 for use in their classrooms. One State Reading Certificate was issued.
Some 207 children signed up for the 1960 Summer Reading Club, planned on the theme of Indians. Eighty-eight children completed the required reading and were intertained in the Children's room in Sep- tember at two Pow-wows at which authentic Indian games were played. Each child who completed the reading decorated a gay Indian headband as part of the club activity and prizes were awarded for the best Indian designes. The designs were judged by Miss Elizabeth DeMarr, art supervisor for the elementary grades; Mrs. Mildred Hartson, Newbury- port Art Association; Mr. William Hill, local artist; Sister Mary Josephine, art supervisor at the Immaculate Conception School; and Mrs. Aida Tedford, local artist and art teacher.
Book Week, November 14 to 19, was observed in the Children's Room by attractive exhibits of new books and three special story hours - all well attended. 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. Regular weekly story hours during the school year were conducted by Miss Clancy on Saturdays throughout the school year.
The reference questions asked by telephone, by letter or in person were numerous and varied in 1960. There were heavy demands for book, magazine and pamphlet material on a great variety of topics. The trend toward scientific and medical subjects as topics for term papers and special reports continued to be strong. Books on Roman history, Ameri- can government and books by and about American writers of this century were called for almost daily during the school year. Adults requested material for club papers on such topics as: famous jewels; solar energy, various islands of the world, and automation.
1960 brought the usual quota of requests for genealogical or his- torical data from such distant places as Texas, California, Canal Zone, Maryland and Florida. We were privileged to furnish some information

Circulation of books from the children's room of the main library totalled 23,443 in 1960 as compared to 20,765 in 1959. This is an in- crease of 2,678. Total adult book circulation was 71,217 in 1960 as compared to 66,621 the previous year - a gain of 4,596. Adult non- fiction circulated in 1960 was 41% of the total adult circulation - up 1% from the previous year. Juvenile non-fiction circulation, which rose from 29 to 32% of the total juvenile circulation in 1959, returned to 30% in 1960. This decrease in percentage of non-fiction circulated to children does not indicate any falling of in reading of non-fiction books (8822 juvenile non-fiction circulated in 1960 as compared to 8,499 in 1959). The explanation lies rather in the greatly increased use of reference material in the children's room of the library and the fre- quent use of adult books, magazines and pamphlets on loan to the child- ren's room, for the duration of special school assignments, such as changing the legal age of voting to eighteen, the driving license age from sixteen to eighteen, and the abolishment of capital punishment as examples of the type of reference assignments which require the use of books from the adult department.
To repeat the point made above, students of all ages are using the library in increasing numbers. Adults were keenly interested in reading books on new developments in science, background of world affairs, edu- cational opportunities and the views of the various political candidates - to mention only a few of the subjects in considerable demand during 1960.
Registered card holders numbered 13,679 at the end of 1960 - a gain of 513 despite the withdrawal of 1,185 expired numbers. The number of adult card-holders increased by 132 in 1960, while the juvenile gain was 381. Newbury card-holders of whom 256 were juvenile, numbered 803 at the close of 1960 as compared to 671 in the previous year.

It would be impossible to close without an expression of warm gratitude to each of the Library Directors for their individual care and wise planning in bringing to reality some of the long-range im- provements to the Library. We must also say a special word of thanks to the Mayor and City Councillors who have appropriated the necessary funds for these needed repairs.
We hope that 1961, with its great challenges, will see even broader opportunities for service to the community.
