REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NEWBURYPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY :
During 1965, the library was open 301 days with 98,085 books circulated for home use. This represents a decrease of 5,000 books circulated as compared to total book circulation in 1964.
Adult non-fiction circulation decreased from 47% to 46% of the total adult circulation, the same percentage as in 1963. Juvenile non-fiction is 22% of the total juvenile circulation.

Circulation figures measure only a portion of the use of the
87
library - namely those books borrowed for home use. In addition there were innumerable books, magazines and pamphlets used in the library as reference material by individual students or whole classes, rang- ing in age from the elementary grades through college.

Circulation of books showed a marked increase in 1963 - an in- crease of 9,721 over the previous year, 1962. Again in 1964 - book circulation increased 6,306 over 1962. In both of those years - local unemployment was very high with the result that there was more free time for reading.
In 1964 we have gained 1, 169 books circulated in comparison with 1962. Service in the armed forces has undoubtedly drawn off a considerable number of young men who would otherwise be using the library. Our several copies of "Practice Tests for the Armed Services" were in constant use during 1965, indicating a trend which might be difficult to prove by statistics.
The number of card-holding people increased from 15,027 at the end of 1964 to 15,198 at the end of 1965 - a net gain of 171 despite the cancellation of 1,833 expired numbers. The number of juvenile card-holders increased by 103 in the past year, while adult card- holders increased by 68 in 1965. Newbury card-holders total 991, at the end of 1965 - an increase of 23 over the previous year. of this number 675 are adult card-holders (an increase of 42 over the previous year ) and 316 are children.
The total book stock of the library increased from 106,569 volumes at the end of 1964 to 102,003 at the end of 1965. Books added in 1965 numbered 1,713 while 278 books were withdrawn during the same period. The net gain to the book stock was 1,435 volumes.
We repeat, once again, that additional book shelving or stack shelving space is of the utmost urgency to alleviate the crowded condition of our book shelves and to function efficiently.
The Children's Room of the Main Library and of the Emma L. Andrews Branch were much used during 1965. Reference work showed a marked increase. Many adult reference works as well as magazines and pamphlets were kept on temporary reference in the Children's Room to furnish information for upper grade school assignments.
88
During 1965 the Vacation Reading Club had as its theme "Indians" and 174 children signed up for it. Each child was given a paper head band with his name, and for each books read and reported on a colorful paper feather was added. Fifty-five children, 15 of them from the Andrews Branch, completed the required reading - eight receiving honorable mention. Children wore their head-bands at the party held in their honor.
Book Week in November was observed with special book displays and story hours; a story time for first graders, a story time (morning and afternoon) for two groups of children from St. Aloysius kindergarten, and a story time for grades two and three.
During National Library Week in April, Mrs. Haley's kindergarten came for a story time; a pre-school story time was held, and a story time for children of grades one and two.
National Library Week was observed with special exhibits of new books, and posters in a number of store windows: Chase 's Confec- tionary Story, Kray's, Pray 's and the Premier Furniture Store.
The Librarian gave a book review at the Newbury Garden Club; Miss Clancy reviewed children's books for the Women of the Moose and was presented with a book for the Children's Room. She was also invited to tell Christmas stories at the Plum Island Mother's Club party featuring Santa's arrival as the main event.
The reference department in 1965 was the scene of great activity and was filled to capacity every afternoon and evening during the school year. Spring and Christmas vacations brought a steady stream of high school and college students in from morning to night. There
was great interest in ECMUNC (East Coast Model United Nations Con- ference ) which was held so successfully at Newburyport High School in the spring. For months ahead, high school students were borrowing and reading books on Ghana and Finland - the countries represented by NHS - as well as many other books on the economics and problems of countries throughout the world. Science and biology - biographies of famous individuals past and present - Newburyport history - genealogy questions - are but a sampling of the variety of subjects on which information was sought.
During 1965 we borrowed on interloan from the Regional Library at the Boston Public Library a total of 144 books, of which 10 were in Russian. The Newburyport Public Library lent 24 books or reels of microfilm to Amesbury Public Library, General Library of the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Illinois Harvard College Library and the San Fernando Valley State College in California.
A valuable chest on chest made by Abner Toppan, part of the furniture of the Director's Room, was loaned for the summer months to the Essex Institute of Salem for an exhibition of the work of Essex County craftsmen. The exhibit was seen by a large mumber of tourists to New England.
There were no major renovations carried on as a part of the long-range improvements to the library in 1965. Crowded book shelves have reached a critical point and we urge that additional shelving be provided in 1966 to alleviate this condition. New front steps (main entrance and children's entrance ) were a major repair at the Emma Andrews Branch Library.
89
A number of memorial books were presented in memory of departed friends: Mr. and Mrs. Philip Carey and the Cahill family presented gardening books in memory of Chester Saunders; The Study Class gave a beautiful book on England in memory of Miss Mary Whitney; and Dr. and Mrs. Horace Marvin (of Denver, Colorado) presented six volumes of "Lloyd's Register" in memory of Miss Eleanor Jones, for many years president of the Bethel Society. To these people and to the many other doners to the library we offer sincere appreciation.
We were sorry to lose the valuable services of Miss Marian G. Todd, who retired October 31, 1965. She had been permitted by the Mayor under Chapter 749, Acts of 1963 to remain for a full year after reaching retirement age.
Two assistants were appointed to the staff in 1965 - Mrs. Rose Williams in February, and Mrs. Eleanor Peabody in November.
The Librarian is most grateful to each Library Director and each member of the Library Staff, to Mr. John Szymura, Library contodian, and to each substitute for the contribution of each individual to our mutual goal of providing good library service for our community.
Respectfully submitted,
Katherine M. Kuechle Librarian
