REPORT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY TRUSTEES.


The number of books purchased during the last twelve months has been smaller than that of some preceding years, although an equal amount has been expended for the purpose. This has been necessary as the Trustees have seen that the Library has been fall- ing behind in its modern books of reference, necessarily expensive books. In this age of rapid advance in all branches of knowledge and attainments, works which were standards twenty years ago are now inadequate or obsolete: To meet this deficiency, among other acquirements, a set of the fine new International Encyclopædia has been placed in the Library, bringing this department fully up to date.


Of course, as in all popular libraries, the persistent and over- whelming demand is for current fiction. Impatience is expressed if all the newly-advertised and discussed novels are not promptly supplied. While this ephemeral literature has its proper place and function, and while the Trustees are not censors of public reading, a limited appropriation for the addition of books to the Library makes it necessary that due proportion be preserved in the character of new acquisitions. Without this discrimination, the usefulness of the Library as an adequate source of both enter- tainment and information could not be maintained.


While, in reply to popular demand, in would be a far simpler task for the Trustees to fill the shelves of the Library with " new " novels, many of which are experimental as to success or value, than to regard the wider requirements of the institution, the duty

of the Trustees is plain, and we do not doubt will be recognized by our citizens.


The Annual Report of the Librarian is submitted herewith.

Owing to his absence abroad, the signature of Mr. Arthur G. Bennett, Chairman of the Board, does not appear.
