all buildings were painted this year, and although we were not completely satisfied with the job, it has made a tremendous improvement in the ap- pearance of the project. In the coming year we hope to replace all the rear combination doors and about 30 electric ranges providing our financial structure permits.


The Elderly Development 667-1, known as Willow-wood Terrace and located on the corner of Railroad Ave. and Adams Street, has 50 3-room apartments in 6 brick buildings and a Community Building consisting of a recreation hall, laundry, kitchen, and the Authority office. It is 100% occu- pied and there are 146 applications for admittance on file. A person must be 65 years of age or over to apply and must be a resident of Massachusetts for at least 5 years. The average rent is $56.56 per month, which amount includes all utilities.


We have been extremely fortunate in receiving the full cooperation of the Town Officials, departments, and Town Meeting members in this worthy endeavor and at this time we would like to express our sincere appreciation for their invaluable assistance.

ANNUAL REPORT 1963


The Library Building


The building - or lack of it - made most of the library news in 1963. It made a few headlines for the local papers and made more than a few headaches for those who worked in it, used it, or tried to devise ac- ceptable ways of enlarging it.


A year of brain-cudgeling by the Library Addition Building Committee - assisted by the Trustees, Library staff, Finance Commission, a team of consultants, and architect Harry Korslund - resulted in limited but encouraging progress, to wit:


202


TOWN OF NORWOOD


1) The Building Committee has preliminary plans for a story-and-a- half-addition to the front of the Main Library to present to the next Town Meeting. These plans have been approved by all parties involved, though this statement hardly does justice to the argument, research, creative effort, and compromise that won their approval.


2) Realignment of furnishings and operations in the present building to relieve congestion was carried about as far as it could be. The inescap- able facts are that the 66 year old building was intended for the population and needs of the 1890's and is unable to serve those of the 1960's.


3) June 27 Special Town Meeting votes indicated that Town Meeting does want an addition but does not wish to purchase adjacent land to build it on.


Resolution of the issue is expected to take place in 1964 Town Meetings.


Operations


At least forty changes, innovations, refinements, eliminations, and ad- ditions were introduced into the Library's operations. They range from physical alterations like the drop-leaf extension on the charging desk to the purchase of a photocopier that will reproduce book pages to the elim- ination of renewals. All of these steps are designed with one object - to maximize service to the greatest number of people at the lowest cost.


This subject will be covered in more detail in coming years when the full effect of these improvements has been experienced.


Reader's Interest Classification


The biggest single project of 1963 was the uncompleted conversion of the adult and children's fiction to the Reader's Interest Classification. About half of the phonorecords were also reclassified to this system, and this was the only part of the project finished at year's end. The young adult books are the third class of materials to be included in reclassifi- cation.


The Reader's Interest Classification is now twenty-five years old, but Norwood is one of the first communities in Greater Boston to institute it as a permanent classification - not merely a temporary and confusing grouping of books which retain their old classifications.


When finished, this system will make it possible for the casual reader to locate a light romance, a college guide, a science fiction yarn, or a jazz recording without using the catalog or searching through a mass of unwanted materials.


Government Aid to the Library


Congress passed the Library Services and Construction Act. This ex- tends the benefits of federal aid to communities above the former 10,000 population limit. More significant to Norwood, it provides for matching grants for public library construction. If it can get a building plan ac- cepted by Town Meeting. Norwood should be eligible to share in this, program.


203


REPORT OF MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY


After three years of drawing its "state aid" to public libraries from the income tax funds the communities were already receiving, the State revised the law. Norwood will now receive its $6225 in true state aid from the General Fund. This aid is intended to strengthen and equalize library service in the State, but there is as yet no provision in the law requiring that the cities and towns use the money in this way. Now that new money is involved, there seems to be no reason for any community not to comply with the spirit of the act.


Norwood's public library was one of only thirty in the state to plow through all the red tape required for immediate eligibility under the amended Federal Surplus Property law. For the first time, public libraries can acquire surplus government property. A trip to Taunton, $7, and Ben Pearson's skill earned the Library a sturdy and attractive desk that will save buying a new one for $100.


Personnel


Contrary to the impression of some readers of last year's report, the Library had a capable staff at the end of 1962 - and the same respected people are still on the job a year later.


Saying this, however, does not necessarily mean: 1) That the right person is in the right job, 2) That all the skills needed are available 3) That all staff members are equally trained and capable 4) That the jobs offer sufficient satisfactions and appropriate rewards 5) That necessary opera- tions are done in the most effective priority and relationship and that unecessary ones are eliminated, and 6) That first-rate replacements can be attracted to replace those who retire.


These considerations - and many more - are the continuing subject of any sound personnel administration progam, no matter how good the staff.


A long step toward maintaining and improving its personnel program was taken by the Board of Trustees in implementing a revised position classification and job description plan and in voting for a new salary schedule.


These were worked out after consultation with the management con- sultant employed by the Finance Commission to study and revise the entire Town classification system. Although the Library is not part of this system, it has made full use of the consultant's recommendation thus far. Actually, the Library undertook its own reclassification and job revision before the Town even decided to hire a consultant. There proved to be agreement in principle and in practice between the consultant and the Library.


Because of the Town's reclassification study, the Library put its job revision into effect less gradually than had been planned. Every position, every assignment was studied and re-evaluated. The difficult adjustments required of the staff met with open-mindedness and cooperation - though not necessarily with agreement.


204


TOWN OF NORWOOD


This far-reaching step, which is now only in its beginning, is one of the most significant the Library has ever undertaken. To insure the suc- cess of this operation - which is fundamental to the success of Library service to all people of Norwood-it remains now for Town Meeting to approve a salary schedule appropriate to it.


Services and Events 1963


The Library received gifts of books from many individuals. Among the many organizations contributing materials, assistance, and cooperation were: The Friends of the Library, the Norwood Woman's Club, the Nor- wood Cooperative Bank, the Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts, the New England Dairy Council.


The Library gets cooperation from all departments of the Town. Par- ticular thanks go to the new Chief of Police James M. Murphy, for his invaluable assistance in getting books back from long-delinquent bor- rowers.


Miss Shumaker reorganized the Junior Department areas so that all non-fiction is in the main room and fiction in the upper (former "Inter- mediate") room. The doll collection was transferred to Day House and the children's records to the Adult Department.


Storm-and-screen doors and another fluorescent light were installed in the South Norwood Branch.


The Hospital station moved from its ground floor location to spacious and attractive quarters with built-in shelving on the second floor. This move has made it possible for Hospital personnel to take books during the week on a self-service basis.


The summer reading program was suspended and time devoted in- stead to the reclassification project.


Copying work was greatly facilitated by the acquisition of a spirit duplicator and a photocopier. The most important book acquisition was a set of the Annotated Laws of Massachusetts.


The prize for character should go to Senior Assistant Helen Fraser, who found $110 cash in a book, tracked down the careless book lover, and returned what proved to be "all he had" - without thought of a reward.


Circulation Chief Esther Pearson gets the palm for big-improvement- for-little-effort. She devised a drop-leaf extension that made it possible for patrons to open and stack their books on the charging desk. This will effect a real saving in circulation costs.


The Library is again enforcing its no-renewal policy. This policy began, along with the four week loan period, in 1946. It will result in faster turnover of loans and therefore fewer disappointments to borrowers. In conformity with sound business and common sense, lending of library cards is no longer allowed.


In Appreciation


Martin B. Curran resigned from the Board, effective January 19, 1964. Having served since 1951, he was second among the Trustees in point of service. Although he served two years as chairman, he refused to be considered for this position whenever his time was too limited to do full justice to it. It is characteristic of Marty that when the obligations of civic duty, home, and job became more than he could carry on at his own high standards, he chose to step out as Trustee rather than to give the position less of himself than it deserved.


The Board will miss his cool, businesslike, sensible and cheerful approach to Library problems. It is hoped that he will be back.

REPORT OF MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY


A twelfth full-time position was authorized and will be filled January 1, 1964. Substitute Shirely Patterson will become Assistant.


National Library Week was marked by a questionnaire and panel discussion sponsored by the Friends of the Library. The controversy over how and where to build the Library addition was the subject. Five-hun- dred-twelve citizens took the trouble to fill out the questionnaire, which was distributed around town. Since the questionnaire was attacked as biased, its results were not regarded as conclusive. However, nearly all agreed that some sort of new building or addition was necessary.

REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT DEPARTMENT


Mr. Walter A. Blasenak General Manager Norwood, Massachusetts


Dear Sir:


herewith submit my report as Superintendent of the Norwood 1 Municipal Light Department for the year 1963.


The Light Department experienced an extremely busy year in carrying forward our program as set forth at the beginning of the year. Our first all electric apartments were completed and further increase in this type of home is expected. Additional buildings were started at Windsor Gardens beyond the amount contemplated at the beginning of the year and this imposed additional work load on the department.


An increase in kilowatt consumption of 10.4% over 1962 was registered and continued growth in 1964 is expected.


Our electric power cost declined in 1963, due partly to our policy of having the public cooperate in not using Christmas lighting between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. the week prior to Christmas. The cooperation of the public in this policy has not been as successful as in previous years. Our favorable rates can be maintained by continued cooperation by the public.


I offer the following statistical data relative to the operation of the Light Department for the year 1963.
