Report of Library Trustees
PUBLIC LIBRARY
The report of the librarian, covering the work of the library for the past year is herewith submitted.
MARGARET A. MULLANY, PETER L. BALISE,
Library Trustees.
Report of the Librarian
To the Trustees of the Public Library :
During the year 1920, 373 books have been added to the library, 215 for adults and 158 in the juvenile depart- ment. The circulation of books and magazines during the year has been 5352 in the juvenile department and 4213 in the adult, a total circulation of 9565.
I hope that the community will make more use of the library during the coming year, and that our circulation may be materially increased. Now it averages between three and four books to each inhabitant of the town. In a neigh- boring city the average is ten books.
Books have been circulated in Bradstreet, West Hat- field and North Hatfield as usual, in charge of Mrs. Laura Belden, Miss Carrie Cutter and Mr. G. H. Danforth.
Miss Margaret P. Ryan assists Tuesday afternoons and Saturday evenings.
The library is open on Tuesdays from 3 to 5 P. M. and on Saturdays from 3 to 5 P. M. and 7 to 9 P. M.
