To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville


Dear Sirs:


The Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Somer- ville Public Library is herewith respectfully submitted and appended thereto, and forming a part of it, the Annual Report of the Librarian, which details the growth and operation of the Library for the past year.


Very respectfully,


JOHN J. GRIFFIN,


President, Board of Trustees

ANNUAL REPORTS REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN


To the Board of Trustees:


Though the writer has never taken too seriously the mere statistics of the number of books circulated to be the criteria of the importance of the library in our community because these figures can easily fluctuate through merely recreational reading such as Westerns, Mysteries, and Light Love stories, we find that this year there is a decided definite trend toward greater use of our services by the public. The circulation of books has increased over last year by 57,599 with an increase of 1,000 registered borrowers. The number of patrons using the library particularly during the evening hours presents a serious problem and taxes our facilities to the limit. Evening after evening we have been so crowded, at the Central Library, that there have been no available tables or chairs, with large crowds circulating around Wellington Hall seeking an oppor- tunity to find space to accommodate them. With this influx of patrons and the resulting confusion of crowded areas we have not suffered any serious disciplinary problems but are faced with a decided increase in the amount of mutilations especially to our Reference books and particularly to our en- cyclopaedias. To meet this challenge we have assigned extra assistants to the Reference Department but because of the demands for their services we have not completely coped with this situation.


The marked change in the reading tastes of our borrowers is of interest. Approximately 43% of our circulation is of books in the non-fiction categories. There are several answers to this trend but the poor quality of fiction published today is certainly a deciding factor while, on the other hand the more timely non-fiction, in better format, plus television, has in- creased reader interest in a greater variety of subjects. Though there is not as yet any adequate measurement of the influence of television it is obviously making a strong social impact. Our experience indicates that it is broadening the audience for subjects such as drama, current affairs, music and dance, especially the ballet. It has definitely stimulated interest in the practical how-to-do-it books. Televised interviews with distinguished contemporary authors and poets such as Carl Sandburg, Robert Frost and Frank Lloyd Wright have inspired many to read or re-read their works. A recent Omnibus pro- gram memorializing the death of the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas immediately created a demand for his works. The


19


PUBLIC LIBRARY


effect upon children is comparable to that of the adults. The children are more interested in factual books rather than fan- tasy, their little minds becoming educated in subjects, through the medium of TV, which were far beyond the comprehension of previous generations.


Apropos to the type and subject matter contained in the current books of fiction the following statement was published in the Ladies' Home Journal in 1890, which still holds true today, "A good book is one in which the bright rather than the dark side of life is shown. One that makes you see how mean are the small vices of life and how despicable are the great sins. One that glorifies virtue in women and honor in men. One in which the good are rewarded and the wicked are made to suffer. One which convinces you that the world is filled with good men and women. One that makes you feel you are meeting real people who elevate your thoughts as you associate with them."


It is interesting in this rapidly changing era, sometimes called the age of uncertainty, with home life so often geared to "outdoor living", with plenty of swimming pools around our houses and no books inside, with so many imbued with the theory of education, by doing, that is learning through a social activity like making fudge, instead of education by thinking and reading. That there are so many people who still look for the finer things in life, as evidenced by the tremendous de- mands on our Music Department. We are now circulating over 1000 records each month as against a 500-600 average monthly circulation last year. It was somewhat to our surprise upon a recent survey of our patronage to discover that approx- imately 75% of our record borrowers are male and 25% female and that about one-half of the female borrowers are accompanied by a male escort who assists with the selection of their records. Our regular patrons out-number the occasional borrower five to one which creates an ideal situation as we are in a position to ascertain their needs, likes and dislikes with a minimum of effort. The printed music collection has been completely re-catalogued and we are now in the process of revising the string music section. The record collection con- sists of 1800 records and with the demands upon this depart- ment we hope to circulate records during the open hours of the Central Library instead of merely in the afternoons and three evenings a week. We however are handicapped by the lack of qualified personnel to handle the increased hours. Miss Marilyn Legere who succeeded Mrs. Mackinnon as Music Li- brarian has met all our expectations as a department head.


The Hospital Department under the supervision of Miss Merlini continues to meet the ever increasing demands created


192


ANNUAL REPORTS


by the publicity of our "Know Your Library" panel of speakers. The effectiveness of this panel is demonstrated by the donation of over 100 books for our hospital collection as well as count- less magazines and cards. Though still handicapped by the lack of transportation facilities over 1800 books have been circulated at the Somerville and Central Hospitals, 282 books at the Home for the Aged, 275 in Rest Homes and 246 to "Shut-Ins". Miss Merlini with the cooperation of our former staff member Mr. George F. Hickey, who is now High School Librarian, has had a group of high school students assisting her at the hospitals, by reading to the youngsters in the Children's Wards and the members of Girl Scout Troop 28 through her efforts adopted the aged women in some of our Rest Homes making their few remaining years happier by sending cards and making short visits to cheer them. I quote from her report, "Our circulation figures cannot possibly measure the good which is done . .. the hope which is restored . .. the fellow- ship which is awakened . . . the surprise of the ill and the aged in finding new joy in reading. It is in banishing loneli- ness and despair and fear that our real worth is measured. I feel that we have not failed, but that there is yet room for improvement . . . and expansion." Another feature of this department which we have not as yet publicized is the gift of a ceiling projector with 93 spools of film, each consisting of an entire book.


We have been fortunate in our Central Junior Library to have been selected by the B. B. Chemical Co. of Cambridge to assist in perfecting a plastic book jacket. Hundreds of our juvenile books have been covered with plastic jackets at no expense to us to test various types of materials. We have been extremely interested in this experiment not only from the standpoint of perfecting a material which definitely acts as a preservative to our books, which is the dream of every Librar- ian, but also from the attractiveness of the books which, in turn, increases their circulation. The Story Hour conducted at the Central Library each Friday through the cooperation of Mr. Charles Kelley, Superintendent of the Recreation Department continues to be most successful. We are fortunate to have such a qualified young lady as Miss Virginia Humber of Mr. Kelley's department assist us in this program.


As is so often the case, our failures stand out prominently, our good deeds accepted, however the members of our Reference Department who have been outstanding in the performance of their duty received the following reward. The Department had been asked the origin of the name "Mystic", a question sounding simple, but one which proved elusive. It


193


PUBLIC LIBRARY


was put on file for future handling. Quite by chance, in using a local history book for a different research matter, the answer was found and dispatched by mail. I quote from a letter of appreciation received, "I shall put it with my English friend's correspondence, so next time I write her I can tell her how smart our City Librarians are - to keep a question in mind a year and then produce an answer. Thanks a lot."


More credit for this commendable piece of work is due when we realize that this was only one of 8000 questions placed before this department this year, in addition to the other duties of making book lists, arranging displays and advising borrowers on all sorts of subjects from encyclopaedias to the naming of babies. In addition to her regular assigned duties Miss Holmes participated on our "Know Your Library" panel taking part in frequent speaking engagements during the Spring and Winter, as well as serving on a panel before a University Extension Class for Somerville School Teachers discussing the subject, "How the Library Serves the Youth of the City."


The Catalog Department reports the current year's work has been the largest since before 1940. 12,564 books have been put through the various processes. 9,443 of these books were new titles and 3,121 either duplicates or replacements. We are in the process of revising the Shelf List Files, the first time to our knowledge that this task has been undertaken in the history of our Library.


The situation at the Union Square Station remains our number one sore spot. We are continually watching for a bet- ter location in this locality but none has been available to date.


Over the years our financial status has not improved to any great extent. Though our budget appropriations have increased we have not gained because of the increased cost of books. For example, our book appropriation in 1941 was $11,000, and in 1954 $18,500. However the average cost of novels in 1941 was $2.58 as against $3.50 in 1954. The average biography cost $3.30 in 1941 and $4.40 in 1954. Histories cost $3.89 in 1941 and $5.56 in 1954.


We are indebted to Mayor Donovan and Public Works Commissioner Walter Manning for their cooperation in re- habilitating our Library. The much sought street light opposite the main entrance has been installed, a new driveway in front of Central, storm windows installed in the Librarian's office, the unsightly lighting standards removed from the front en-


194


ANNUAL REPORTS


trance and last but not least the start of new lighting system for the entire Central Library. We have been assured that during the coming year Wellington Hall will be refurbished and the water seepage on the front walls will be corrected. Two new desks were furnished, one for Mr. Mackey and one for the Music Department. With so much to be done to improve the physical condition of Central we are grateful for the coopera- tion we are receiving.


The following changes were made in the membership of the Board of Trustees. In January Mr. John F. McGann was reappointed for a three year term, Rev. Thomas F. Garrity was appointed for a three year term in place of Rev. Anthony J. Flaherty who resigned because of his recent parish transfer and Rev. Dr. Guy H. Wayne for a three year term in place of Rev. Gordon Kirk whose term of office had expired. The death of Mr. John F. McGann on April 12, 1954 was a shock to the Board. Mr. McGann had served faithfully and conscientiously, with the exception of one three-year term, since 1937. Ap- propriate resolutions were presented to his sons and daughter expressing the sentiment of the Board of Trustees. Mr. William P. Mclaughlin, Jr. was appointed to fill Mr. McGann's un- expired term.


Your Librarian was again honored this year by being re- appointed for a five year term as a member of the Common- wealth of Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners by Governor Christian L. Herter.


We were saddened in October by the sudden death of Mr. John W. Patten, a member of the staff since 1950. Cupid continues to be our number one competitor in holding our staff members. This year our toll was four valuable young ladies namely: Mary J. Lynch, Marion E. Mackinnon, Ethel Mullaney and Beatrice H. O'Hara.

It is a privilege to be associated with a group as loyal as our staff. Unfortunately we are still not in a position to award them increments for study courses but it is a source of satisfaction to realize that so many continue to pursue their studies without any hope of additional financial reward. They are a credit to our institution and to our community.


To the members of the Board of Trustees I am ever grateful for their wise counse !.
