The year 1926 has been significant in the library ·profes- sion. The American Library Association celebrated at At- lantic City and Philadelphia the semi-centennial of its found- ing. The activities of this national professional organization of librarians has probably contributed more than any other factor to the recognition and progress of the public library as a necessary member of the educational establishment of today. Among the special features of the fiftieth anniversary was the

PUBLIC LIBRARY
publication of a set of professional books, including a new edition of the useful A. L. A. Catalog of ten thousand best books, and the reports of the recent nation-wide survey of public libraries. To finance these publications it was neces- sary to raise a fund of $35,000. This was done by voluntary contributions from individuals and from institutions, aided by subscriptions to the anniversary publications. The total amount contributed by the Somerville library was $59 of which $25 was subscribed for publications and $34 given by staff and Trustees.
We acknowledge with appreciation the prompt response of the Department of Public Buildings to our request for the enclosure of a small section of the stack for the protection of certain classes of books. We venture to press once more the requests made in 1924, 1925, and 1926 for the replacement of chairs worn out by twelve years use at the Central library. The natural processes of wear and tear have reduced our seat- ing capacity from 144 to 90. There are frequent occasions when we are unable to accommodate with chairs the people who want to sit down to read or study.
For ten years we have continuously and unsuccessfully experimented with a system of electrical clocks at the Central library. Much of the time they have not run at all. The rest of the time they have flivvered along with an utter disre- gard for any known system of chronology. They are the chronic subject of heated remarks by the public, and the cause of general inconvenience to the library service. We think it is reasonable to recommend the installation of at least one reliable timepiece in the main hall of the library.
We also need replacement of the desk transmitting and receiving sets of the inside telephone. They are no longer capable of successful repair.
Changes of personnel in the staff during the year have been as follows :
Appointments to the Graded service: Elsie K. Wells, 1st Assistant at Union Square; Mary R. Batchelder and Alice L. Delaney, Senior Assistants; Eleanor T. Binford, Marion H. Hanford, Beatrice M. Kenny, Barbara Klingenhagen, Estelle M. Jones, and Alice J. Underwood, Junior Assistants.
Resignations from the Graded service : Helen W. Farrar, Assistant Cataloger ; Katherine I. Eaton, Children's Librarian at West; Irma P. Traphagen, 1st Assistant at Union Square; Frances Brown, Hilda O. Hosmer, and Ethel B. Lewis, Senior
