REPORT OF MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY


Among reference questions inspired by new dimensional ideas were re- quests for material on the "X 15," "space medicine," "electronic living," and "supremacy in space."


"By Rocket to Adventure" For Our Youth


There has been a gain of 7,961 in circulation in the Junior Department and school loans. Often our facilities are taxed to the utmost here and at the Branch.


Irene Olson, Assistant, is a welcome addition to the Junior Department.


The nature of the reading done reflects the transition of schools and col- leges to a new type of teaching and subject matter in line with drastic changes of the new age.


N. Dorothy Shumaker, Junior Department Librarian, finds that boys and girls of all ages are interested in science and in space. In fact at the second grade the availability of books has not caught up with the demand.


The space age was dramatized in the summer reading club BY ROCKET TO ADVENTURE. Children of grades three through six made "rocket" trips from Earth to the other planets by reading a variety of books - each planet representing a different type of literature.


Interest in world languages is growing. The few children's books we have in other languages than English are always in use.


Nine story hours were conducted by Miss Shumaker with the assistance of Miss Locke and Mrs. Fraser.


Classroom book collections were sent to six schools; classes from three schools visited the library as did groups of Cub Scouts, Brownies and the kinder- garten from the Lainy Kay Country Day School.


Camp Fire Girls, Bluebirds, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts helped the library by volunteer work.


Library Service Gains at Norwood Hospital


This year for the first time in several years, there has been a slight gain in circulation in the library's weekly hospital service.


In common with those other public libraries offering this service we have found that shorter hospital stays and more non-reading, elderly patients have reduced the amount of hospital circulation. In our experience its value is still great, and in the hands of Esther C. Pearson, Adult Department Librarian, in charge of Circulation, assisted by Bettina Cottrell, Substitute, books are still good therapy.


Student nurses with their instructor were given a guided tour of the Main Library's Adult Department leading to its effective use both for their studies and their personal reading.

Important - Though Behind the Scenes


Book selection and book inspection are of prime importance. Selection is mainly done by Edna Phillips, Librarian (who makes purchase decisions), and Miss Shumaker, Miss Locke, Miss Eaton, and Mrs. Pearson.


3590 books were cataloged by Miss Eaton, assisted by Mrs. Fraser - a gain of 313. This year Miss Eaton has been cataloging Junior Department books. Further centralization is planned by inclusion as soon as possible of music cata- loging, now done by Miss Locke. Miss Eaton's schedule work has included the popular start of rotating Saturdays off for staff members electing to have them.


Dorothy Hogan, Records Assistant, has been in charge of statistical and secretarial work since July 1st.


Doris Connolly, Substitute, aids in all parts of the library. This year she has completed a sizable project in registration.


Miss Phillips completely revised "Staff Qualifications and Analysis of Posi- tions," first written in 1950. This study gives a definition of every position; a description of its typical tasks; and its professional and personal requirements.


Carl B. Pearson, Senior Building Custodian, aided part-time by Lester B. Schortmann, has superintendency of buildings for the Main Library and South Norwood Branch, and of the grounds. This year it has included important paint- ing, floor refinishing and chair repair in several parts of the library system; and complete refinishing of the pages' washroom. New fluorescent fixtures have been installed in the Intermediate Room. This corrects inadequate lighting.


One World in the Adult Department


Young adults had a part in the increasing circulation of the Adult Depart- ment. (The ratio of non-fiction to fiction was higher than the standard; it was nearly fifty-fifty.) There was also marked improvement in teen-ager's way of using the department. This is not only to the credit of the department heads, Miss Locke and Mrs. Pearson; and Mrs. King, but to the boys and girls them- selves.


All Americans are being urged to add to their knowledge of world lan- guages. Our library not only does its part, in offering books in any language requested, but this year we added our fifth language, Russian, in a language-study recording. Other language records here are Spanish, French, Italian, and German. We own 1,071 recordings and they circulated 5,249 times in 1959.


Africa, China, conservation, recreation, juvenile delinquency, creative think- ing, drama, and parole are among the topics requested for book collection loans. by the Senior High School and the Baptist Church. The League of Women Voters and the Junior and Senior High Schools have had 12 shelf collections prepared for use at the library. Such collections are available on request to any Norwood organization either for circulation from its own building or to be assembled for the use of its members at the library.


A list of Norwood industries prepared by the library in 1956, was re-issued in revised form, with added information. Mrs. Pearson was in charge. In a community having 53 industries - many with Space Age products - a full and.


207


REPORT OF MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY


carefully prepared list of this kind ( questionnaires were sent to every industry ) has been called a valuable civic enterprise.


A framed location chart to help patrons find books is placed on each side of the entrance to the Plimpton Wing, together with stack-end labels, all of lam- inated material.


Iron railings at the steps of both street entrances have been installed; a great help in icy weather.


The Space Age at the South Norwood Branch


A tremendous interest in science and in space is reflected in requests Mrs. Allen received at the Branch. This starts in the second grade and is marked thru high school. It was recognized in the choice of a theme for the Summer Reading Club, in which 89 South Norwood children took part, and which is elsewhere reported.


Eighteen classes from the Balch School, each with a teacher, have come for library instruction and resulting stimulation of interest.


Twenty-seven story hours were held Saturday mornings.


Books, largely borrowed from the Massachusetts Division of Library Ex- tension, were lent in Arabic, Finnish, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian and Swedish.


We Share, We Learn, We Receive


Miss Phillips was asked to speak to the Senior Citizens, by the Norwood Recreation Department, on "Ways a Public Library Can Spark a Fuller Life for the Mature;" by the Norwood Woman's Club on "A Booklover in the Far East." She serves as Chairman, Massachusetts Library Association's Personal Services Committee; Ex-Officio member, Norwood Capital Outlays Committee; a Town Meeting member; and was one of the sponsors for "An Evening With T. S. Eliot" at Boston University. Mrs. Allen served on the Book Selection Committee, Round Table of Young Adult Librarians; Miss Locke on the American Library Association's Membership Committee; Public Relations Committee, League of Women Voters; Miss Shumaker, Nominating Committee, Round Table Childrens' Librarians.


Miss Phillips and Miss Shumaker attended the Washington Conference of the ALA. They and other staff members went to conferences of the New England Library Association, the MLA, and numerous other library meetings.


A Simmons College School of Library Science student chose this library for her survey. Miss Phillips and Miss Shumaker were repeatedly consulted on school library matters, and made several school visits.


Mrs. Otis T. Swain, a former trustee, presented the library with "Lincoln Library of Essential Information;" The Catholic Women's Club with "The Holy Bible," and "The Boy Jesus;" The Woman's Club with a glass bowl; Mrs. Teresa Hurney and numerous other donors with a total of 222 books and a number of periodicals including a strong collection of religious interest from local churches and individuals.

National Library Week


National Library Week has become the leading event of our year. It aims to establish new frontiers for readers. All parts of the library took an energetic part in the week.


Mrs. Richard Boch served as Citizen Chairman, helping plan the cele- bration and presiding at its climax: a Book Review at which the reviewers were Mr. Martin B. Curran, Chairman, Board of Library Trustees; Mrs. Philip A. Gahm, Jr., and The Reverend Edmund A. Miller. Following Coffee Hour, Mrs. Boch presented the idea of a Norwood Friends of the Library which met with an affirmative response from citizens present. In many places a Friends of the Library has helped a fuller use of library resources, and support of its enterprises.


Two other book talks were featured. At the Open House, with Coffee Hour, held at the South Norwood Branch, Miss Phillips spoke on "To Asia, With Books in My Baggage." Mrs. Pearson gave a "Review of Plays" at the Senior High School.


"World Stories" were featured for children in the Junior Department. "World Music" from seven countries was played as background music in the Adult Department; and "World Languages" was the theme of window displays of books in nine languages at the South Norwood Branch.


Window displays in eight stores, of library books related to the sale in- terest of each store, were arranged by the Jaycees.


An Art Exhibit of original work by 17 Norwood artists was held in the Adult Department. Art exhibits illustrated a pupil's favorite book in Elementary, Junior High and Saint Catherines Schools. By the courtesy of publishers a Book Prize was awarded the library of each school.


All local industries were offered a loan collection of books on the subject of the company's product and related topics, for the period of National Library Week.


The Norwood Hospital Women's Aid had library displays in their Hospi- tality Shop window; and posters were displayed on several floors.


Throughout the week, in all parts of the library, floral decorations contri- buted by the Women's Community Committee enhanced the occasion.


Christmas Decorations


The Norwood Christmas Decorations Committee, Mr. George Mahoney, Chairman, and Mrs. John Martin, member, and Library Trustee, aided by Mr. Pearson, prepared outstandingly fine decorations outdoors, including music played thru a loudspeaker from the record-player previously given by the Women's Community Committee. The Norwood Woman's Club Art Committee, Mrs. Lawrence Scott, Chairman, and Mrs. Eugene Nelson, arranged greens and flowers at the Main Library. The Junior Department and the Branch each had a tree and a Christmas theme in book displays and story hours.


Expansion


The Board of Trustees has invited representative citizens to serve on an Organizing Committee for a Friends of the Library. The Board plans an early meeting with this group to proceed with active work.

Leaders in Norwood Celebration of National Library Week


"Tell Us a Story," Miss Shumaker holds the rapt attention of young readers.


"BOOKS ARE FRIENDS. COME, LET US READ."


One of the families using library books in the home is that of Attorney and Mrs. Charles Donahue.

REPORT OF MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY


A Hearing was called by the Projection Sub-Committee of the Capital Out- lays Committee, on the Library's Addition, with bookmobile service, and park- ing space development; for requested action in 1962.


The greatly accelerated use of the library - now a circulation of 8.6 per capita -; its lack of adequate facilities; the adjustments needed to the Space Age, all give added pressure to expansion needs.


The Librarian is grateful for the chance to work with an exceptional group in the Board, the Staff, the Custodian, and the Substitutes.


Respectfully submitted, Edna Phillips, Librarian

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the Citizens of Norwood:


The reports of the Superintendent, Principals, and Supervisors, present vital facts related to Norwood Schools. Items which the School Committee regards reportable and not included in the aforementioned reports are submitted herewith.


School Properties - Extended Use


This year a measurable effort has been made to make available the use of school building and grounds facilities for greater numbers of people and for a greater variety of program. Parent-Teacher groups are engaged in the promotion of social dancing - Saturday morning and holiday use of school facilities has been encouraged in the establishment of athletic activities for children of ele- mentary school age. Sponsors of Boy Scout and Cub programs have been wel- come and have used our buildings more extensively than ever before.


Capital Outlay - Better Planning


For a long time, our Town has met problems of growth in a haphazard sort of way. While most citizens have been conscious of the need for more intelligent long-range planning of public programs to meet the needs of a rapidly growing community, it is heartening to know that a concerted effort is now being made to put order into our plans for the future. The recent establish- ment of a Capital Outlay Committee augurs well for the future of a Town which is aware of the need for some kind of master plan.


216


TOWN OF NORWOOD


New Quarters - West School


During the year, the School Committee decided to move administrative headquarters from the Junior High School Building where it was housed for many years, to the West School. The cost of maintaining this small school build- ing, as an approved school housing facility, was a factor in the decision to re- locate administrative offices.


Salary Schedule for Teachers


The perennial problem of salary scales for teachers is a matter of constant study and action. We want to keep our good teachers and the desirability of attracting potentially competent new teachers is obvious.


We have, therefore, this year voted to increase the salaries of all teachers, at all levels of preparation and experience. However, included in the frame- work of the schedule itself, is provision for recognition of the teacher who presents evidence of continuing professional growth.


Civilian Defense - Hospital Unit


Crowded, though our school buildings are, and extremely limited the space for storage, it seems to us that we must be prepared for possible disaster. When Dr. William F. Lovell, our local chairman of Civilian Defense informed us that a 200 bed emergency hospital could be made available, if we could find ade- quate storage space for it, there was nothing to do but find it. We have there- fore, stored in our Junior High School building, just such a hospital unit. Though we hope that we may never have to use it, we are ready for this emergency.


Senior High School Addition


In the report which we submitted last year, attention was called to the im- mediate need for expansion of our high school housing facilities. The proposed addition which, together with the original building is to be planned for an enrollment of 1500 pupils. We hope, sincerely, that in their plans, the Com- mittee will, if error must be made (here and there), plan for something more, something greater and better than meeting the barest requirements of the situation.


It seems to us that accelerated growth and increasing demands resultant therefrom are factors which should be weighed carefully by those who would plan to meet minimum requirements.


National Education Defense Act - Public Law 874


Passage of the National Education Defense Act provides us an opportunity to receive Federal financial assistance in the promotion of certain programs. To date, we have, as a result of meeting established requirements, received in sup- port of our Guidance and testing program, several hundreds of dollars. During the next year we will qualify not only for further aid in the Guidance Program but also, if the town meeting appropriates enough money in matching funds, for further promotion of our Mathematics, Science and Foreign Language pro- grams.
