Librarian's Report
To the Trustees of the Public Library :
At the beginning of the year Miss Carrie Cutter of West Hatfield and Mrs. Agnes Kacinski of Bradstreet, custodians of book loans, felt unable to take charge of the books and I could find no one to replace them.
So, we opened the library on Tuesdays from 12 to 1 to give the pupils of the outlying districts who attend school in the center an opportunity to borrow books. We feel well repaid for the extra work.
In November, the people of Bradstreet obtained per- mission of the selectmen to open the hall in the school building on Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 for reading pur- poses and circulation of books and magazines. It has proved a very popular place for the young people.
The library continues to supply the best in non-fiction, and books in Polish, Slovak and German, borrowed from the Division of Public Libraries in Boston.
The library contains over 8,000 volumes, 356 of them were purchased during the year. The circulation of non- fiction for 1935 was 1,240-quite an increase over the year preceding. The entire circulation was 14,005.
There were several gifts of books and a framed photo- graph of Clarence Hawkes presented by him for the chil- dren's room.
I wish to express appreciation of the faithful work of my assistant, Miss Margaret Hayes.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET A. MULLANY,
Librarian.
34
The trustees of the library regret to accept the resig- nation of Mrs. Margaret Mullany, who has ably and ef- ficiently served as librarian for the past five years.

Water Commissioners' Report
We were very fortunate this year to obtain enough Federal money to complete the hook-up of our main on the State road, where we had to relay it to make way for the new bridge over Running Gutter Brook, and also to make extensive changes in our reservoir ..
At the reservoir we have made a settling basin above the main pond, to take care of any wash from heavy rains.
The water from this basin now enters the main res- ervoir over two dams, and should come to the consumer much purer than ever before, having been settled and aerated before entering the reservoir.
The main basin has been greatly enlarged and deepened, giving us a larger storage. The banks have been ripraped with stone, and all trees except the ever- greens removed for a distance of about 200 feet on all sides. Removing these trees will give our young pines and spruce a better chance to grow, and will keep out the leaves that have bothered us so much in the past.
With our present set up we have one of the best water systems for a town of its size in the State. Every family in Hatfield is served by the system.
