TURNER LIBRARY.
-
To the Selectmen of the Town of Randolph.
GENTLEMEN, - The third article of the By-Laws for the government of the Library provides that the president of the. Trustees shall annually make to the town a report in writing of the condition of the trust, which embraces the building, library, and fund. In accordance with this re- quirement the first annual report is herewith submitted.
First. - The building needs no other notice than that it is in good order, occupied by the tenants heretofore con- templated, and meets the expectations of the friends of the enterprise, and the public generally.
Second. - The Library, from various causes (and its preparation proving more of a labor than had been antici- pated), was not put in operation as early as expected. It is thought, however, that before the Town Reports are distributed, books will be ready for delivery. The main hall has been furnished with cases equal to the wants of some years to come, and suitable furniture ordered or sup- plied for library work. The reading-room will, doubtless, be opened the present month. The professional gentle- men of the library committee (Messrs. Labaree, Foster, O'Brien, and Jewell) have been untiring in their efforts, devoting much time to the work of inauguration, evincing on their part, and that of Mr. Foster, jun., of the Hyde Park Library, an ability in the selection of books which entitles them to the hearty appreciation of their services,
60
which will be awarded by the public deriving advantages from well-chosen volumes. The purpose of the committee has been to establish the character of the library as of merit and solidity, at the same time supplying the shelves liberally with works of fiction which will prove unobjec- tionable. Whatever defects or deficiencies experience may discover can be amended in the future from a regular in- come, and such reasonable appropriations as the town may make. The whole number of volumes at the date of this report is a little more than three thousand, a large pro- portion of liberal cost. In this connection the Trustees desire to communicate to the town the generous donation of about seven hundred valuable volumes by the Randolph Reading-room Association.
Third. - The Fund. After paying for the building and its outfit, ten thousand dollars of the original donation of · fifty thousand dollars remained to be used in prepar- ing library and reading-rooms, purchasing furniture, the supply of books, periodicals, newspapers, &c. Of this sum about one-half will be expended for the purposes named, leaving, it is hoped, intact five thousand dollars, now invested in a note of the town of Randolph to aid in its income future additions. With this receipt, rents, and such town aid as already indicated, the Trustees are confi- dent liberal annual supplies may be made to reading facili- ties. In the next annual report a minute statement of the treasurer's account should be made, the incomplete trans- actions rendering it inexpedient at this time.
As soon as a carefully prepared catalogue can be fur- nished, the Trustees will offer it at cost price, so that every person can at leisure become familiar with the library contents.
In behalf of the Trustees,
SETH TURNER, President.
