REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES.


To the. Honorable, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville :-


Gentlemen,-The annual report of the trustees of the public library is herewith respectfully submitted.


We have appended to and made a part of our report the. full report of the librarian, to which your honorable body is re- ferred for the details of the year's work. It remains for us to emphasize some points in this report, and to consider the neces- sities of the library for the coming year.


The general work of the library has been conducted along the same lines as in recent years, without the inauguration of any new form of activity or the discontinuance of any important feature of the past.


The volume of business, which has been constantly increas- ing, has been considerably greater during the present year. The circulation has increased from 419,539 to 448,224 since our last report, an increase of 6.83 per cent. over the circulation of 1907, in comparison with an increase of 2.16 per cent. of the year 1907 over that of the previous year. In this general increase the cir- culation of fiction has proportionately increased, so that our usual percentage of about 70 per cent. of works of fiction bor- rowed remains unaltered.


While the work of the various agencies has continued with- out marked change as a whole, the circulation of the East Soni- erville agency has considerably increased, and that of the High- land district has fallen behind. These variations are probably due to transient local conditions and have no significance.


The loss of books from the library has been the subject of much solicitude since the inauguration of free access of the pub- lic to the shelves seven years ago, and such data as could be ob- tained showed losses too serious in point of numbers to be lightly passed over; and even the question of withdrawing the privileges of personally examining the books at the shelves has been seriously considered. A thorough inventory taken this- year has, however, been reassuring in its results, and certainly for the present has put out of mind any thought of returning to the old method of closed shelves. This inventory shows that substantially 168 books in the main library, 148 in the children's department, and six in all other departments have been lost in the last two years. This loss, a third of which was in the class of fiction, is not greater than could reasonably be expected, oc- curring, as it has, during a circulation of eight or nine hundred thousand volumes and is trivial from a money point of view.


Whether this not unsatisfactory showing is in consequence of greater vigilance on the part of attendants, closer inspection

at the turnstiles, the use of the perforated stamp on the title page of the books, or the posting of cards of warning about the building, or whether it is due, in a considerable degree, to a more exhaustive inventory cannot be known ; but it is natural to believe that all of these causes have contributed to the result.


We have received during the year a gift of $100 for the chil- aren's department by the will of Miss Frances A. Wilder, of Lancaster, who was for many years a faithful teacher in the pub- lic schools of this city. This is a small gift, to be sure, and to some it may appear unimportant, but it will place one or more good books in the hands of many children of Somerville each year as long as the library shall endure. And we wish to mark our appreciation of such an offering gathered from small sav- ings, and equally, as if it were larger, we honor the public spirit of the giver.
