Report of Librarian
To the Trustees of the Public Library :
It is satisfactory to note the larger place that the library seems to be making for itself in the community year by year. More books have been taken out by adults than in any previous year. The children's interest has been stimulated by the offer of a state certificate to any child who reads and reports on five books for his grade taken from the lists sent out by the Department of Education.
Many pupils in the Center School are doing this read- ing and so a better class of books than usual is being called for. One of the great needs now is a children's room as the crowded condition on a Tuesday afternoon at about 3.40 demonstrates.
The circulation of books and magaiznes for the year has been 13,188 about equally divided between adults and juven- iles.
124 books have been sent for circulation in Bradstreet, 170 in West Hatfield and 122 in North Hatfield. As usual there has been a loan of 25 Polish books by the Department of Education, Boston.
We have added to the library 451 books, 254 in the adult department and 197 in the juvenile. 6 of these books were gifts.
We appreciate the faithful and efficient service of Miss Margaret Ryan, assistant.
The library is open on Tuesdays from 3 to 5 P. M. and on Saturdays from 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 P. M.

Report of School Committee
Our schools have continued to improve during the past year; and we firmly believe that they were never better or- ganized, or working more smoothly and efficiently than at the present time.
Extensive repairs and improvements have been made this year in the Smith Academy building, by the Trustees, who have also contributed liberally to the support of the school. A fine chemical laboratory has been fitted up and three com- fortable and convenient rooms have been provided for the use of the Agricultural and Household Arts departments. We have now a flourishing State approved Household Arts de- partment in the Academy taking the whole time of one teach- er and one half the time of another. The State will pay one- half of the entire expense of this department, but unfortu- nately the first reimbursement will not be available until 1924.
