Many lesser jobs were done without cost by interest- ed citizens and the trustees. Mention should be made of

our librarian, Mrs. Theresa Godin, and her two assistants, Mrs. John Cantwell and Mrs. Arthur Breor. Miss Church of the State Regional Library Center in Greenfield ad- vised and helped in many ways. John Osley, Jr., and George Zgrodnik donated free use of their equipment and time to grade the library grounds and road. Bernard Donnis, Charles Belden. Clifford Belden, Jr., and a group of youngsters helped in the moving of hundreds of books. Special mention should go to Arthur C. Bardwell for his capable and willing assistance given at any time on any task. He raked and seeded down the library grounds in the fall.


The Library Committee, composed of delegates from our various clubs, canvassed the town to raise money for library furniture. From this group came a Library Fur- niture Committee, headed by Mrs. John Osley. Jr., who purchased library furniture in child and adult sizes. This is not only beautiful, but also durable.


The modernization of the North and South rooms, plus the addition of a beautiful new room which is under the supervision of a committee composed of Arthur C. Bardwell, John Mullins and Frank Kempisty, have given the people of Hatfield a library to be proud of.


The trustees feel that there are two outstanding jobs yet to be done to bring the building up to its full use- fulness and beauty. They are the installation of new lights in the North and South rooms and the cleaning and painting of the upper room where antiques and other items of interest might be properly catalogued and dis- played.

Library Report


To the Trustees of the Public Library:


I am pleased to submit my 21st annual report as Librarian of the Hatfield Public Library.


The year 1957 has been one of the most successful in the history of the Library. This year brought the addition of a new reading room which has greatly im- proved the reading and reference facilities for adults and children alike.


It is with a great deal of satisfaction that I note the School Children using the reference books more frequent- ly now that additional room has been allotted them so that they may study free from distraction.


I wish to express my sincere thanks and appre- ciation to Mr. Arthur C. Bardwell, whose generous dona- tion of $1,000 inspired the townspeople to appropriate the additional funds to make possible this improvement to the Library.


My sincere thanks are also extended to the following committees: The Building Committee, comprised of Mr. Bardwell, Mr. John Mullins and Mr. Frank Kempisty; the Committee who solicited for funds to purchase new furniture for the Library, Mrs. John Osley, Mrs. Walter Pickunka, Mrs. Eugene Proulx and Mrs. Edward Breor, Jr .; to the Trustees, Mr. Cory Bardwell, Miss Sarah Kiley and Mr. Edward Kostek, who gave so generously of their time and co-operation in re-arranging the Library; to all, who in any way helped to make our Library one of the finest in this area.


39


The knowledge that you, the people of Hatfield, have given our youth a way to help fulfill their desire for knowledge should indeed be gratifying to each and every- one, who helped make this new room a reality.


The circulation of books and periodicals for the year was:


Juvenile Fiction


7,206


Juvenile Non-Fiction


4,510


Adult Fiction


5,908


Adult Non-Fiction


5,372


22,996


Two hundred and twenty-five (225) new books and forty-three (43) periodicals have been catalogued and put into circulation. Of these two hundred and twenty-five. 90 were for children and 135 for adults. During the year we have borrowed 624 books from the State Regional Library Center in Greenfield, Massachusetts.


During the past year I have attended the following meetings in connection with Library work: 4 Book Re- view Sessions at the Regional Center, Greenfield, Mass .; the Spring Meeting of the Connecticut Valley Library Club at the Northfield Library in Northfield, Mass .; and the Fall Meeting at the Memorial Library in South Deer- field, Mass.


The Library is open Monday and Friday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. and Wednesdays from 11:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. for your convenience.


I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Mrs. Margaret Cantwell and Mrs. Gertrude Breor for their able assistance and kind co-operation during the year.

Report of Tree Warden


To the Citizens of Hatfield:


During the past year trimming was done on Main, North Prospect Streets and Pantry Road.


Brush was cut and burned on the extension of Oak Avenue.


Eighteen elms having Dutch Elm disease were taken down and burned throughout town.


Six shade trees were taken down, unsafe or storm damaged: One poplar, Straits Road; two maples, Pantry Road; one cherry, North Hatfield Road; one maple, King Street; one catalpa, Main Street.


Dutch Elm disease seems to be spreading more and more each year. Our loss of elm trees is going to be ex- tensive in the next few years.


Respectfully submitted,


FRANCIS GODIN
