The Trustees recognize the necessity of making access to the truth easy and rapid for all who seek it. For the overwhelming majority of people in this nation, the quickest and easiest access to the world's best thought is through the public library. Here in Randolph this means through the Turner Library. The Turner Library Staff and Trustees are ready, willing and eager to see that Randolph has a library service that truly meets the needs of its residents. The final answer, however, is in the hands of all of us who pay taxes to the Town; for it is we who directly or in- directly must provide the funds needed to carry on. The Trustees urge that each resident and taxpayer do his and her part to help meet our Library's relatively small financial need.
In closing this report, it always is a pleasure to acknowledge with gratitude the capable and loyal services of all members of the Staff of the Turner Library throughout the year just ended. The Trustees are grateful also for the cooperation, assistance and understanding of the Selectmen ofthe Town and of the Town's De- partment Heads and Committees.
LAURENCE F. SHURTLEFF, President Trustees of the Turner Free Library
To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :
Turner Free Library is a venerable institution, but quite in keeping with the demands of the times it shows a wonderful ca- pacity for growth and for out-and-out change. 1961 has been a GOOD YEAR-one of further growth and development, of some goals reached and of increased rapport with the community.
157
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
The adult public or tax-payers of the town and hence those most interested in being knowledgeable on the subject of returns on those taxes, had specific additional services in 1961. Experi- mentally we initiated a type of first-floor-service. The first floor not being available to us, save for the rather narrow foyer, we were sadly restricted for space; nevertheless, on clement days there was desk service for the issue and return of adult books, such service to be resumed when the weather again permits. Response from our public indicated in no uncertain terms the great convenience they will find regular first-floor-service to be, once space is available.
Recognizing the peculiar transportation problem of a much- spread-out-town, Turner Library installed a large, outdoor chest- with-slot for the return of books when the library was closed. Books were deposited together with the library cards in the chest, and credited thereafter. Unfortunately there are always those whose selfish abuse of property outdoors robs the general public of certain benefits. For this reason this service has had to be discontinued.
Adults were encouraged to join the Great Books Discussion Group, jointly sponsored by Randolph and Holbrook, and held in the Turner Library at 8 : 00 P.M. on alternate Tuesdays. Cheer- fully meeting in the only room available to them -the Children's Room -this lively discussion group has further served to emphasize the need for more adequate space. Our public also saw in 1961 regular service in taking "book reserves" over the tele- phone. Last, but not least, three things came for adult borrowers which will add substantially to their comfort and to their gratifi- cation -i.e., a beautiful and very modern magazine unit, serving for both display and back-issue accomodation, and near at hand two very modern lounge chairs with table. The predominating color from the beautiful window above having been picked up, a harmonious meeting of the old and new was achieved. With a smile we found a definite "behavior pattern" emerging in the puf- fing ascent up the front stairs and a prompt settling down for browsing in the new lounge chairs. What more natural!
Adult registration in 1961 was the highest in three years, comprising 32-1/2% of the total registration of borrowers. Library cards are now being held by 5,279 people. As further service to our adult public, and as part of the observance of National Li- brary Week, we arranged a book talk by Miss Edna G. Peck of

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS
the Boston Public Library. Also, for the first time, Randolph was added to the long list of cities and towns regularly "going all out" in this national and educational activity by having a Citizens' Committee, headed by Mr. Alfred B. Hills.
Still further, in line with adult public relations, was the con- tribution made by Mr. Warren Claff, your fellow trustee. So help- ful was his address as participating panel guest, in the role of man of industry to over a hundred librarians of the Old Colony Library Club-professional club of the Old Colony Area -that it was printed in the October issue of the Bay State Librarian - of- ficial bulletin of the Massachusetts Library Association. Titled" The Library and the Community -a Two-Way Street," its success was such that Mr. Claff was invited to address an institute at Simmons College. A contribution was also made to this panel by George Sullivan, then a library page, who spoke from the college student's viewpoint.
A joint meeting of members of your board and of your li- brarian with the Randolph School Committee was productive of warm and mutual cooperation. Groundwork was laid for regular visits of the high school, junior high and elementary classes to visit their town library for orientation and instruction in the use of books and reference tools.
Although the great need for a first assistant on the Library's staff, was not met during the past year, the fine standard of part- time service is being maintained, though necessarily some of those mentioned a year ago have moved along. We are most fortunate in having the services of Miss Alice Raymond, Mrs. Gertrude Walsh, Mrs. Ruth Puffer, Mrs. Irene Kelley and Mr. Ernest Baker. John Wallace, Kenneth Ekman, Norman Fine and William Lena- han served as library pages, two of whom -to maintain tradition - are on the high school honor roll.
Physically the Library has undergone some changes both on the grounds and within. With gutters patched, adequate under- ground drains installed and the kind and quick attention of the Town in furnishing some loam and a surprise service on the side, a lawn of sorts emerged and a very pretty garden. Within the building, borrowers found the lower hall freshly painted and what we shall call a "high-dado-job" carried up to the second floor of the hall. The custodian and pages carry the honors on this ef- ficent task. Over the entire main adult area new linoleum was laid
159
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
by most cooperative workmen; and the work performed by the entire staff in relocating furniture and moving thousands of books with cheerfulness and efficiency elicits only superlatives like" magni- ficent." For one day only of this herculean job was the library closed - otherwise SERVICE WAS MAINTAINED.
For the second time the Milton Public Library -friend indeed to us in our need -sold us furniture for a token figure, thereby substantially increasing our studying and seating accommoda- tions. Grateful as we were for these assists, the time had come for Turner Library to make its furnishings more commensurate with its growth and with the growth of the town. A large part of the State Grant-in-Aid, forwarded through the sincere desire of the Town Finance Committee to observe the real intent of the law, en- abled us not only to purchase the magazine unit and table and lounge chairs earlier referred to, but a handsome and modern catalogue, suitable, I am sure, for the long tenure which our very old one enjoyed; and a double-faced shelving unit sorely needed for the Young Adult area. These long-awaited and much needed pieces for a nucleus of the equipment which Turner Library should have for efficient and modern functioning, and for the more ade- quate display and housing of its all-important "commodity" - books !
Children's Book Week was celebrated in 1961 with book dis- plays and puzzles designed to test their book knowledge. Inade- quate seating accommodations in the Children's Room were some- what bettered, although new furniture will soon be needed.
Appreciation must never be one-sided. A report to your board and thence to the town would be incomplete without the sincerest appreciative mention of your forward-looking attitude and support during the past year.
With circulation of Adult books and Young Adult books hav- ing increased again appreciably in both fiction and non-fiction fields; with strong additions to the reference and fiction material in Adult, Young Adult and Juvenile Collections; with the green light from your board and the School Committee for a near- crash program of library instruction; and with greatly increased interest of the public in their library, is it any wonder we call 1961 a GOOD YEAR? The lights are still all green !

LUCIA S. FAULKNER, Librarian

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The Randolph School Committee herewith submits its annual report to the citizens of the town.
School Committee meetings are held regularly on the first and third Mondays of every month at 8:00 p.m. at the Office of the Superintendent of Schools and the public has always been cordially invited to attend.
Committee members are elected by the people under the General Laws of the Commonwealth for a period of three years and serve without remuneration. As agents of the Commonwealth, they are required to carry out the conduct of eduction in con- formity with, and as delegated by the State Legislature under the General Laws in the areas of policy, budget matters, faculty and system appointments, textbook and curriculum approvals, evaluation, and planning of the entire educational program.
The past year will truly be recorded by historians as the most progressive by far in the area of education in Randolph's 168 years of existence. Three new school buildings with modern facilities were opened, providing 41 additional classrooms and construction was started on the Reed St. Elementary School which will provide an additional 24 rooms. Nowhere in the history of our town has so much been accomplished in so little time. Truly a tribute to all of the townspeople who made this possible, for without their assistance, keen interest and sincere desire to move forward an educational program second to none, this would not have been possible.
