PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Citizens of Randolph :
Pursuant to the provisions or Article 3 of the By-laws of The Turner Free Library this, the fifty-first annual report is submitted, showing the condition of the trust, consisting of the building, library and funds, together with the reports of the Librarian and Treasurer and so

NINETY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
much of the reports submitted by the various committees to the Trustees as seems of general interest.
The Library Committee reports that the books, charts and furnishings are in good condition. All books belong- ing to the library were accounted for by the Librarian.
The Building Committee reports that the building is in fair condition except the roof which is badly in need of repairs and an appropriation of $350. is requested.
The Library has reached such proportions that the in- habitants of the Town cannot fail to find something in- structive or interesting if they will but make it a visit. With nearly 30,000 books on its shelves and the leading magazines in the reading room, surely the people are well supplied with what is good to read. The library lost a faithful and efficient librarian in the resignation of Miss Alice M. Belcher who has gone to a larger field of use- fulness, but we were fortunate in having a capable as- sistant in Miss Sarah C. Belcher to take her place and the new assistant Miss Eunice L. Belcher, is proving her ability in this position.
The report of the Librarian showing in detail the do- ings, management and results of the various depart- ments of the Library and the report of the Treasurer showing the investments of the funds and the receipts and expenditures of the library are hereunto subjoined.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library : 1
I have the honor to submit the annual report of the Turner Free Library for the year ending December 31st, 1926.
The library has been opened to the public 303 days; 22,625 books have been borrowed also 395 unbound maga- zines.
313 books have been added to the library during the year, making 29,771 accessioned volumes.
302 books were added by purchase, 6 bound magazines, and 5 received as gifts from various sources.
We are again indebted to Mr. Erskine H. Cox for a year's subscription to the "Nature Magazine."
We have issued 346 borrower's cards during the year. The total number of borrowers on our book at present is 1,972.
The sum of $150.46 has been received for fines and col- lections and has been turned over to the Treasurer.
The reference room is used not only by the pupils of the Randolph schools, but by those of Bridgewater Normal and Boston College High. We plan to add several refer- ence books for their use the coming year.
The reading room is given over to the smaller children during the afternoons when books suitable for them are placed on the tables. We wish more of the older people might use and enjoy it evenings. We have 28 of the lead- ing magazines and two daily papers for their enjoyment and profit.

NINETY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
Miss Alice M. Belcher, who has served as librarian many years, resigned in September to take a more lucra- tive position in the Brockton Public Library. Randolph's loss was certainly Brockton's gain. Miss Eunice L. Bel- cher was appointed assistant librarian and is showing much interest and ability.
The librarian wishes to express her thanks to her as- sistant and to the Trustees for their interest and co-op- eration.
Respectfully submitted,
SARAH C. BELCHER, Librarian.
