Thomas Crane Public Library.
To His Honor the Mayor of the City of Quincy :
The Trustees of the Thomas Crane Public Library submit herewith their annual report, it being the thirty-fourth of the whole series since the Library was opened.
The whole number of names now on the Library register is 7,890 of which 1,574 were registered during the past year. The number of books purchased was 547; books loaned from the Bodley Club Library, 328. This library has proved a suc- cess. The only difficulty is the securing of the books. The possible selection is not so large as might be wished, so that the Librarian is not able to fill out her full list. If this could be done the circulation might be very largely increased, as the books are no sooner placed in the revolving bookcase than they are immediately taken. The main difficulty is to get them re- turned in time to send for a new supply. The books are of the average quality of fiction, neither very good nor very bad. The number of books loaned by no means represents their circula- tion which is included in the fiction figures given below. This Bodley Club Library releases money which would otherwise go to the purchase of such books for the buying of more substantial. ones. While the Library has not acquired as many new books as last year, they have been more valuable and permanent.
Books replaced, 216 ; books rebound, 949; gifts, 121 ; pam- phlets, 196. The largest number of books issued in any one day was 609, on March 19, and the smallest number, 83, on. August 19,
276
As heretofore, the bulk of the circulation is fiction and nearly one-third of it is juvenile. The Trustees, even if they desired to do so, see no way of preventing this. The business of a public library is to furnish the books that are called for while these are of a proper character. Occasionally, of course, some unconventional book will slip in, but beyond this no fault can be found with the quality of the books furnished. It is im- possible for the authorities connected with the Library to read all the books placed upon the shelves, and they have to depend upon the reputation of the author and publisher. But in a gen- eral way they intend keeping an oversight and do so as far as possible.
One lack in the Library has been the absence of any facil- ities in the way of reading room, where adult persons could read or consult reference books undisturbed by the noise and pres- ence of the children who flock to the Library in afternoons. This the Trustees have endeavored to remedy so far as lay in their power by fitting up the alcove at the right hand of the en- trance with chairs and tables for their especial use. They feel, however, that it is only a postponement of the much needed reading room whereby the advantages of the Library can be more largely placed at the disposal of the public, especially of students and teachers. As it now is, study and consultation are attended with great inconveniences. The Trustees feel they can do no less than second the Mayor's inaugural address with ref- erence to the branch libraries. It is necessary to say nothing · more as the people understand the necessity.
Since the last report the Library has again been the recip- ient of a most generous gift from Mr. Albert Crane, namely ; the land lying between its former western boundary and the Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance Co. property and Coddington street, which to-day is worth $18,000. These grounds have been graded and put in proper order and incorporated with those of the Library. More recently, a fine bronze tablet in memory of his mother has been placed upon the walls of the Library by Mr. Crane. This memorial tablet is by William Couper, a noted New York sculptor, and bears beneath the por- trait the following inscription :-

This tablet placed A. D. 1904
