TOWN OF NORWOOD
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMISSION
To the Citizens of Norwood:
The Finance Commission was organized for the year 1960 as follows:
George T. Mahoney, Chairman Frederick A. McDonoughi Ambrose J. Kelly
On January 1, 1960 the debt of the Town of Norwood was $3,740,488.00 with maturities in 1960 of $317,488.00. No additional borrowings were made during the year.
In addition to the above, the Town in 1960 made its fourth payment of $95,000.00 to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to be applied against the cost of constructing the water main from the Metropolitan System to the Norwood-Westwood line. The total cost is $950,000.00 with $95,000 being paid off each year.
The Finance Commission examined the request for appropriation sub- mitted by the various departments, met with department heads and com- mittees charged with the disbursement of appropriations, and discussed in detail the basis of such requests.
Upon completion of the work of the Commission, a public hearing was held prior to the Annual Town Meeting.
The sum of $50,000 was appropriated for the Reserve Fund and transfers were made as follows:
Schools Administration Personal Services $2,035.00

TOWN OF NORWOOD
NEW FRONTIERS
Friends of the Library Established
The Organizing Committee, Friends of the Library, Mr. Otis A. Cooper, Chairman, held a meeting on April 7th with talks by representatives of established groups from Medford and Wellesley and Miss Alice M. Cahill representing the Massachusetts Division of Library Extension.
This led to a permanent Friends of the Library for Norwood, with Mr. John J. Flaherty, Jr. as President, and an Executive Board of 17. Their first program was offered on September 29th with an excellent, well- attended meeting on "The Middle East." Mrs. Esther Deeb and Mr. Fred- crick Howard spoke memorably about their part in a local group's trip. Pictures taken and an exhibit of art objects all added. The Friends of the Library will start each public meeting with a book briefly high-lighted; this tinie Edna Phillips, Librarian, spoke about Julian Huxley's "From all Antique Land."
Plans for a Library Addition are Active
At a Town Meeting, June 23rd, the Board of Trustees asked the Town to purchase Congregational Church land adjoining the library for an addi- tion and for parking, as an alternative to a requested rezoning and pur- chase by real estate dealers. Neither request was granted. The Board, in every way, kept alive their continuing interest in acquiring the land. When a group of nine doctors requested the Board of Appeals to grant a variance on the zoning law to permit them to buy the land for a doctor's office build- ing, the Library Board, in turn, expressed their desire to have the Town buy part of the land from the doctors, for library purposes. When this seemed impossible, Mr. Harry J. Korslund offered to buy the land personally and sell to the Town a part of it, for the library. Following this, a re-adjustment of parking arrangements by the doctors brought their consent to sell the Town land for library purposes at no profit to themselves. At the end of 1960, the Board of Appeals has not reached a decision.
Norwood Men and Women Read More
The Adult Department had a circulation increase of 2,414. Other typical gains could be cited :
Nine towns with a radius of seven miles now represented in non- resident patrons. Despite an increase in their service charge to $3.50 an- nually per borrower, 65 persons are registered. In addition to these, many non-residents who work, pay taxes, or study here are also borrowers without charge. Some learned of our library when they were patients at the Nor- wood Hospital.
More business and industrial people use the library. One of them, starting his own business, commented on the realistic help he found in our books. A list, "Norwood Industries," compiled by Esther C. Pearson, Adult Department Librarian, in charge of Circulation, has proved very useful. Another revision is needed which is underway.

REPORT OF MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Dr. Robert W. Davis, first-prize winner at the Boston Camera Club, held an exhibit here of his beautiful photographs. It drew a very appre- ciative audience including some who had never been in the library before.
Film-Lending Service Assured. The library has joined the Massachusetts Public Libraries Film Cooperative. Mary E. Locke, Adult Department Libra- rian, in charge of References, is in charge, and has taken instruction in technicalities. Norwood organizations will soon be able to borrow films.
Increased use of Reference Room facilities by young adults has made it necessary to restrict its evening use to those needing library books, eliminating homework during these hours.
Miss Locke's trip to Europe has been reflected in her sharing of its benefits with library friends: a talk on "Travel Poems" and another on her trip, to Senior Citizens; and talks with colored slides to the young readers. She has taken a course on reading aloud, and on public speaking. Mrs. Pearson's spring vacation at New Orleans and Natchez increased her knowledge of books on that region, and was the occasion for a Staff talk. Helen R. Fraser, Senior Assistant, and the library, benefitted by her joining the Massachusetts Library Association European travel group.
A larger proportion of acutely ill patients at the Norwood Hospital, with a consequently lesser number of those able to read, resulted in a smaller circulation. Despite this Mrs. Pearson, in charge of Hospital Service, and Mrs. Bettina Cottrell, Substitute, had a circulation of 6,858 to patients, doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel.
Ruthı R. King, Senior Assistant, aids the work of the Department in many responsible ways.
In the first seven circulations of James McCay's "The Management of Time," it was kept overdue five times.
Milton-Norwood Two Library Study
A fruitful comparison was made of the work, the set-up and the aims of two town-size libraries suburban to Boston. The head librarians and five leading staff members each spent a day observing, at the library of her opposite number, the way a position like her own was handled. These twelve visits were followed by a joint staff meeting at Norwood, led by the two head librarians; attended by those participating in the study, repre- sentatives from both Boards of Trustees, and any staff members desiring to attend. On this occasion summaries were given of likenesses and dis- similarities of the two libraries; appraisals of strong points in adminis- tration, services, ways of carrying out tasks, principles of book coverage and selection. Constructive criticism was not barred. This project, unique to the best of our knowledge, was invaluable as a self-portrait by two libraries.

TOWN OF NORWOOD
Exceptional Growth of the Junior Department
Circulation soared. There was an increase of 16,703 compared with last year. New registrations averaged more than fifty a month. 111 class- room collections totaling 3,432 books, each professionally selected for worth, interest and grade, were sent to nine schools. We feel this reflects, in part, teachers' emphasis on class assignments requiring library materials and reading counsel. Irene Olson, Assistant, helped in this basic work.
"Calling All Teachers," a statement of library resources and many services available to the schools, and ways the teachers can help make this service fully effective was prepared and issued for the Adult and Junior Departments by N. Dorothy Shumaker, Junior Department Librarian, and Miss Locke and was sent to every teacher.
Fifteen Saturday morning story hours told by Miss Shumaker, Miss Locke and Mrs. Fraser helped interest children in good books. Alas, they can't be held any more under current conditions where crowding allows no space at all for such activities without interfering with circulation and reference services.
Miss Shumaker serves on the Massachusetts Library Association Re- cruiting Committee, led a panel of Childrens' Librarians at the Plymouth meeting of the Old Colony Library Club; is Reading Counselor for the Boy Scouts, spoke at two Parent-Teacher Association meetings and had a Workshop meeting of Childrens' Librarians at Norwood.
27 classes from five elementary schools, a special class from Junior High School, and a kindergarten class from the Lainy Kay Country Day School were brought to the library for instruction in its use-about 800 pupils.
Cataloging and Other Important Services
The need for a well-planned, well-kept up cataloging service is second to no other library operation in making our rapidly growing resources quickly available to patrons. Martha C. Eaton, Assistant Librarian and Cataloger, was responsible for the cataloging of 4,236 books. As last year, the growth of the Junior Department accelerated the number of new children's books to be cataloged. Miss Eaton is assisted by Mrs. Fraser. Miss Locke, in charge of our music collection, catalogs our recordings.
Book selection by the Misses Phillips, Shumaker, Locke; Mesdames Pearson and King; records work by Dorothy Hogan, Records Assistant, schedule-making by Miss Eaton; and maintenance of buildings and grounds, (including Christmas decorations) by Carl B. Pearson, Senior Building Custodian, all are indispensable-as is the training and supervision of many pages by department and branch heads.
Returning a book with a battered corner, a boy explained, "When a book excites me I chew it."

REPORT OF MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY
South Norwood Branch
Adults, teenagers and children borrowed 24,959 books and 777 pictures. The Branch has 1,521 registered borrowers. Doris Allen, Branch Librarian, reports that in spite of a slight decrease in circulation the use of the place for study and serious reading noticeably increased, making it reach capac- ity. Every inch of floor, shelf, and seating space is in use.
Fifteen classes, in groups of 30-35 from the Balch School, visited tlie Branch Library for instruction in its use. This was a tight squeeze in a small room with burgeoning services.
25 Story Hours for the younger children on Saturdays, from October until May, add a personal touch that helps make books vital even to be- ginners. Mrs. Allen completed a 10 week course in Story Telling at the Boston Center for Adult Education.
A little boy asked for a book on how to grow fur. Answering an inquiring look on the Branch Librarian's face, he said, "Then I wouldn't have to get in the tub, nor dress for school."
National Library Week Advances
The Town and all parts of the library took a fuller part in it than ever before. Benefits from it were felt all the year. A few highlights fol- low:
At the South Norwood Branch. Open House with Miss Helen Gale's illustrated talk on Mexico, and refreshments by the COVI Club. Magic show for the children by David Libby.
At the Adult Department and Hospital. Exhibiting of Fine and Applied Arts by adults and young adults, whose work reflects the use of library books. "Books for the Executive," compiled by Miss Locke and sent to 53 industries, and "Cookbooks to Use With Your Purchases From This Food Store" were distributed from local stores.
Posters. pictures and leaflets for distribution carried the message to the Norwood Hospital, with a display of books and objects of art.
At the Junior Department. Exhibit of arts and crafts, made with the help of library books, by boys and girls from public and parochial schools. Preschool age picture book hour offered as the first in a series given by mothers of young children. "Adventures in the West and Hawaii." Colored slides by Miss Locke. "Pantomimes" by Wayne Negrini.
The leading event of the week was the "Friends of the Library" meeting elsewhere reported.
Floral decorations in both departments and at the branch, brought and arranged by Mrs. Andrew Simoni and her committee, beautified the library throughout the week.

TOWN OF NORWOOD
Public Relations, Local and Professional
Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. Allen attended the American and Canadian Library Associations' Montreal Conference, Mary L. Dunn, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Miss Phillips and the Library Staff attended a total of 15 library meetings, state and regional.
In addition to talks already mentioned. Miss Phillips gave a book talk for the Norwood Woman's Club on "Lincoln and the Life of Today;" for the Senior Citizens about a trip to Asia, with related books, and a demon- stration book-travel talk at the Boston Public Library for branch librarians working with adults.
The Old Colony Library Club, with an attendance of over 90, met here June 7th.
Better parking facilities would be the best public relations we could offer. Library patrons constantly speak of the unmet need. Some are obliged to go to the Branch when unable to find a parking place at the Main Library.
State-Aid to Massachusetts Libraries Now Legal. Norwood Could Participate.
In Chapter 760, Acts of 1960, State Aid for free public libraries is provided. Norwood meets the required standards. If its application is granted, it is estimated we would be eligible for a 1961 grant of $6,224.50. This bill is designed to improve library service. Local libraries will retain their full autonomy. The enactment of the bill, due in no small measure to the foresight and unremitting work of the Massachusetts Library Asso- ciation and the Massachusetts Division of Library Extension, has been called the greatest single forward step in library development since the establishment in 1890 of the Massachusetts Library Commission, the first library extension agency in the country.
The Librarian pays tribute to the Board's wisdom, zeal and ability to look ahead in Town service; and recognizes her good fortune in working with such a group as the Staff, the Custodian and the Substitutes.

REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS BUILDING COMMITTEE
The Elementary School Building Committee, appointed by the Mod- erator, following action taken by the Town Meeting on December 5, 1956, presents herewith its third report.
Two years after each of these schools has been occupied, we are in a position to say, that the first estimates of building requirements were not only timely but accurate. Specifications as to size of classrooms in these
222
TOWN OF NORWOOD
buildings were in accordance with the thinking of school officials and were approved by the School Building Assistance Committee.
We are most grateful to the many people of Norwood, voters, and others, who had confidence in our judgment. The buildings are occupied, they are completed and well furnished, the grounds have been planned, laid out, and finished in a satisfactory way. It is our considered opinion that the total school plant, buildings, equipment, and grounds have been planned, procured, and secured, in such manner as to provide the best possible educational facility for the children, for the teachers, and for the neighbor- hoods for which they were provided.
The following is a schedule of costs involved in each of the two schools.

For the record, there is included the following pictorial and printed material which will be permanent records of the activities of our Town in the field of education.
We are deeply grateful to all Town authorities which have been called upon from time to time to assist us in the performance of our duties. At this time, we would like especially to acknowledge the contribution of Mr. Lincoln D. Lynch, Superintendent of Schools; Mr. Umberto V. Napoleone, Principal of the Prescott School; and Miss Elizabeth V. Syver- son, Clerk of our Committee, for assisting us in our planning.
All of us deeply regret the fact that during the period of our planning, we lost the most valuable services through death of one of our conscientious associates, Mr. Walter B. Dolan.
Following four years of planning and action, having met together in Committee meetings since organization, 120 sessions, the Committee is now ready to recommend to the Town Meeting that it accept this, its third report.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING COMM.
DEDICATION Charles J. Prescott School
Korslund, LeNormand & Quann, Inc. - Architects
Leonard Rugo, Inc., Boston, Massachusetts - General Contractor
It is quite fitting that this new school be named in honor of one of Norwood's ablest and most devoted citizens - Charles J. Prescott.
Mr. Prescott, apart from his private record as a business man of considerable stature, and as an able leader and organizer of men, devoted much of his time and energy in the promotion of the interests of a stable and sound community. He was more than a financier and a businessman - he was a humanitarian.
As Chairman of the Finance Commission he was actively engaged in the promotion of studies designed to focus attention upon the needs of our schools. In his quiet and effective way, he encouraged other community leaders with whom he was associated regularly in joint effort to make Norwood a better place in which to live, and for children a better place in which to go to school.
