ANNUAL REPORTS
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN FOR 1933
To the Board of Trustees:
The sixty-first annual report of the Somerville Public Library, being that for the year 1933, is herewith submitted.
In co-operation with efforts for striet economy in muni- cipal expenditures the report will be brief, in spite of a busy and eventful year. Detailed statements of the work of the year, setting forth in statistical form the use and growth of the library, will be found in the appendices.
The total number of recorded home loans is 728,605, a gain of 47,983 over the year 1932. All circulating agencies, ex- cept one, share in the increase. 11,496 borrowers have been registered during the year making our active, two-year term registration 21,935. For purposes of comparison with those libraries employing the three-year term of registration it may be noted that our registration for the last three years is 32- 502. The total number of books added to the library system from all sources is 8,330. The total reduction of book stock from all causes is a little less than 134 per cent. of loans, the true basis of loss liability, or 12,723 volumes. The proportion of reductions is not excessive. If the number seems impressive it will perhaps help us to realize the great volume of work done by the library. To replace this reduction of book stock would have required the expenditure of $18,702. Actually we were able to expend from the city appropriation $7,416.73 sup- plemented by $905.46 from special funds belonging to the li- brary. As a direct consequence of the inadequate book appro- priation of 1933 to supply a growing demand we come to the end of the year with a book stock depleted by 4,393 volumes, but with a borrowers' demand increased by nearly 48,000 actual loans. This is burning the candle at both ends with a vengeance.
Here, as everywhere, the library has been the great refuge and resource of the people in days of depression, but even with economic recovery we face the probability of continued growth. A new policy of vigorous encouragement of library use by pub- lic and parochial school administrations is already showing results. A single item of the new public school program is library registration and actual book use by everyone of the more than 7,400 pupils in the senior and junior high schools,
125
PUBLIC LIBRARY
where special credits are now allowed for library reading. From the school deposits an increase of 24,791 in recorded home loans is significant. We are apparently on the eve of a marked expansion of work with the schools.
For the first time in many years we have now fallen be- hind in the race to keep the library abreast of the growing de- mands for service to our public. Books are the life blood of the library. Like a man losing blood the library can bleed for a short time without fatal results, but the process is weaken- ing, and the loss must be stopped if the vitality of the library as a useful institution in the community is to be maintained. We can not contemplate without grave concern for the future a situation in which demand and wear mount upward and sup- ply declines. Book stock reductions are in direct proportion to use by borrowers consequent upon wear in the library build- ings, in home and school, and in transit,-plus absent-minded and irresponsible borrowing without record or return. The loans of a book are like the years of a man. In this library the life of a book is about 72 loans. Upon the very conserva- tive assumption of no increase in use next year we know that our 1934 book stock reductions will be in excess of 10,000 volumes. We also know that at the present cost of books we must spend approximately $15,000 in 1934 to maintain the li- brary at its present depleted level.
Our original appropriation of $74,180 was later reduced by the amount of $3,000, our contribution toward a general 4 per cent. reduction of the city budget, a condition of securing bank loans in anticipation of taxes. This retrenchment was accomplished by giving up Sunday opening, leaving one vacant position unfilled for the balance of the year, turning back automatic salary increases, omitting extra summer employ- ment, and substituting a mimeographed Bulletin for a printed Bulletin.
Under the existing system of salary contributions for wel- fare purposes our staff contributed in 1933 $7,564.48. On Jan- uary 1, 1933, the automatic salary increases due in 1932 were allowed. The automatic increases due in 1933 have not been allowed. The library staff makes its contributions to general welfare, and accepts its losses of automatic increases, with good grace and cheerful philosophy, and asks only that restor- ations of salary standards be made on a basis of equal con- sideration with other city departments.
In March the Union Square Branch library was moved from the old Prospect school house to apartments in the recent-
126
ANNUAL REPORTS
ly vacated police headquarters at 50 Bow Street. The new location is central to a larger population, and avoids serious traffic hazards to children. On the other hand the branch has to cope with new and troublesome problems of space and dis- cipline. These are mainly due to adjacent surroundings. The corridors are thronged all day with the clients of the various other city departments and agencies housed in the building. There is an unlighted storm vestibule. There are adjoining, unsupervised public toilets. There is a broad open stairway to the second story, the corridors of which are unlighted after office hours.
These conditions invite hoodlumism and abuses. The li- brary employees are not responsible for conditions outside their own apartments. They are not equipped either by author- ity or by physique to cope with them. Proper library work is impossible under such handicaps, and as a natural consequence the use of the library by self-respecting patrons is steadily dwindling. There is just one thing that can be done to alleviate the situation, while we continue to hope for a separate build- ing. The library rooms should be completely separated and shut off from the rest of the building. There should be a sep- arate outside entrance on the front for adults, and another separate outside entrance for children on the side connecting with the foot of the stairway to the Junior Library. Thereby all library traffic would be segregated, adults and children would be separated, and many of the worst handicaps im- mediately and permanently eradicated. This reconstruction would not be a very serious undertaking, and possibly could be accomplished under some of the project plans. It would merit the approval of all orderly-minded citizens.
The accommodations of Winter Hill Station are unsatis- factory. It occupies a single rented room in a private house on Broadway. From its tiny quarters open only 16 hours a week it has turned in a circulation of 33,060, a really remark- able record amply demonstrating its usefulness. Winter Hill has outgrown its space, and it has been necessary to place a considerable proportion of its books in storage at Central. It offers no reading room facilities for which its patrons clamor, and is not properly centralized, being on the city line on the north. Its heating equipment is entirely inadequate. No public library quarters should be in a dwelling house.
As the year closed the Central library became the host of a varying number of from twelve to thirty workers assigned from welfare lists or from the Civil Works Administration. Car- penters and painters are renovating the building and furnish-
127
PUBLIC LIBRARY
ings, and a force of women is reconditioning the catalog, books and pictures. The results of this work now in its beginnings will properly belong to the report for 1934.
Changes in the Library personnel have been unusually few. The staff was depleted by the death of Alice Delaney, First Assistant at Union Square, and the resignations of Mrs. Edythe Durgin of the Catalog Department, and Estelle Jones, School Librarian. Vacancies caused by these losses were filled by the promotions of Mary B. Bartlett to the position of School Librarian, Kathleen O'Brien, First Assistant at Union, Gertrude Reynolds, Children's Librarian at East, and Win- ifred J. Pember, Children's Librarian at Union Square. In December a Training Class was instituted with the following pupils enrolled : Catherine Cotter, Margaret R. Heshion, Em- ma Merlini, and Barbara C. Niles.
The appended tabulations are submitted as a part of this report.
Respectfully submitted, GEO. H. EVANS, Librarian.
