REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY.
In reviewing the administration of the Library for the year past, the Trustees note the appreciation and pride of our citizens in the institution, which have been shown in many ways. This has been manifested not only by use of its privileges, but by generous gifts tending to increase its efficiency and usefulness.
We have received from Mrs. William F. Matchett, whose interest and liberality the Library has before known, a mounted terrestrial globe, which gives our Reading Room a necessary adjunct of a well appointed library, the value of which will be apparent to readers and students.
A memorial to a beloved wife has been made by a citizen in the form of a fund, to bear her name, the income of which is to be used forever for the purchase of books.
A bequest of Mrs. Sarah M. Parsons, a niece of our late honored townswoman, Mrs. Lydia Maria Child, has been received, and has been applied by the Trustees to the purchase of standard works, to replace in some cases editions which, by long usage, have become unfit for circulation.
A gift from the Committee having in charge the Lecture Course last winter, of one-half of the proceeds, enabled us to buy some valuable works of reference.
Some sixty volumes have been presented by citizens, during the year, besides the usual receipts of State and Government reports, and fourteen volumes from the New England Historic Genælogical
38
Society, all excellently chosen and valuable acquisitions. Numer- ous files of current periodicals have also been acknowledged.
The gift of a die for printing the title of the Library on note sheets for use in the Secretary's department, and of two photographs of the Library building for the Massachusetts Library Exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition, are to be noted.
Our collection of minerals has been arranged under glass, classi- fied and labelled.
A mass of pamphets, periodicals and magazines, the accumula- tion of many years, has been sorted and arranged under titles in forty-five (45) files, available for reference, in the basement.
At the annual examination, all books in the Library were accounted for, with the exception of two juvenile books.
The advantages of the use of electric light during the year have been apparent in every way, and a source of apprehension of possible danger and loss removed.
It is not perhaps generally known that books of reference of the Boston Public Library are available to our citizens through our Library. Such books may be obtained by application to our Librarian.
During the coming year an outlay will be necessary for repairs, notably in the basement, where much of the wainscot and other woodwork has been seriously affected by dry rot. Other repairs tending to the perservation of building and grounds are necessary.
In the Library are a number of old books of great interest to the town and to students of Americana, which together with various manuscripts, pamphlets and other documents of historical value, local and otherwise, are not now arranged or displayed to the best advantage. The Trustees have considered the propriety of these being withdrawn from circulation, and gathered in a proper cabinet, labelled as to their history or interest, and displayed under glass.
It is unnecessary to emphasize the value of this institution, in every way, to the Town of Wayland. As now maintained, the First Free Public Library in Massachusetts stands a worthy repre-
39
sentative of the idea of its founders, and as a measure of the value placed by our citizens upon intelligence and knowledge.
The Librarian's Report to the Trustees is herewith submitted.
ARTHUR G. BENNETT, Chairman, A. WAYLAND CUTTING, Secretary, CHESTER B. WILLIAMS, FRANCIS SHAW, LESTER R. GERALD, CHARLES F. RICHARDSON, Trustees.
