PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Honorable Mayor and the 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,
GUY H. WAYNE,
President, Board of Trustees
106
ANNUAL REPORTS
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Board of Trustees:
As I submit my 21st Annual Report, 85 years after the doors of the Somerville Public Library were first opened to the public, I am cognizant that the Library is more of a ba- rometer of the current trend of the thoughts of people than any other institution in our community. Recent years, un- matched in history, have been years of sensational change. They are years of phenomenal growth that has altered the face of our community and our country. Life in the American homes has been revolutionized as well as our means of travel, our recreation and our shopping. Science and industry have ushered in the jet age and started the nuclear age. At the same time production records have been shattered for almost everything Americans use, need or want. Many diseases have been conquered, others brought under control. But now, as evident in the closing days of 1957, after the achievement of accomplishments unmatched in the history of America or any other nation, we find our public are disturbed, irritated and serious - in a changed critical mood - worried about busi- ness and jobs - upset about the nation's school systems - alarmed about our defense in an age of missiles.
These are the facts we contend with each day, which makes our work load heavier. Recreational reading is steadily declining with the public seeking more information about the sciences, seriously reading more and more about the lives of our contemporaries and forebears and looking for spiritual up- lift in religious books.
The trend has also affected our younger generation, the teen-agers and the college student. Today our discipline prob- lems in the library buildings are negligible. No longer do we contend with bubbling youth whose only excuse to come to the library, especially in the evening, was to cast a fleeting glance or pass a casual word with the fairer sex. Education today is serious business. The competition for admission to colleges is so great that even the High School student realizes that he must study more than just the class room exercises and there- fore turns to the Library to further his knowledge. The college student aware of the high mortality rate in the undergraduate classes continually seeks our advice and assistance to maintain his grades. Today we find the Library being accepted, par- ticularly by the younger generations, as the medium of educa- tional survival and not merely as recreational centers.
107
PUBLIC LIBRARY
In the past ten years the demands on our Reference De- partment have more than tripled and the need for qualified assistants is a serious problem. Without attempting to belittle the functions of the various departments in our organization, for no department could perform unless all our work is co- ordinated, we feel the responsibility of the Reference Depart- ment is perhaps the greatest. Whatever praise or criticism we receive generally stems from our Reference assistants whose contact with the public is most intimate, handling people of all educational qualifications from the man on the street to the Doctor of Philosophy. Their knowledge of our collection must be unsurpassed and their ability to find the right answer at the right time is a constant challenge. It is there- fore imperative that the financial reward to encourage quali- fied individuals to this extremely important assignment be commensurate with their responsibility and educational quali- fications.
During the past year we answered 16,247 reference ques- tions, many of which were merely routine questions but the vast majority requiring hours of research.
As proud as I am of our staff, I trust the new salary sched- ule submitted with our budget for 1958 will receive serious consideration. The competition for qualified candidates to our' staff is overwhelming because of the low salary scale and the irregular work schedules which require assignments until 9:00 p.m. on at least two nights of the week. Furthermore, it is regrettable we cannot offer financial increments to those mem- bers of our staff who are continuing their education in the college grades at their own expense and on their own time. At this writing there are ten staff members attempting this arduous task with the only reward, their self-satisfaction of being able to give better service in the Somerville Public Li- brary system.
The Music Department continues to play a very important role in our service to the public. Unfortunately we have been severely handicapped by resignations, for to find the qualified replacements is next to impossible. At present we are operating with a mere skeleton force and are desperate for candidates. In the closing months of the year we obtained a transfer of a surplus in our Personnel Service Account and purchased a new high fidelity system which is the ultimate in musical reproduc- tion, incorporating a manual turntable operated by the assist- ant at the charging desk and heard by the listener through high fidelity earphones. This method will substantially prolong
108
ANNUAL REPORTS
the life of our records and eliminate the misuse of the record player by controlling the speed at which the records should be played.
Again we extend our thanks to Mr. Charles Kelley of the Recreation Commission for his cooperation. The Story Hour conducted by Miss Defeo continues to attract more and more children each week.
As in past years, our School Department supplied books to thirty-two schools. This number included the Vocational High School, three Junior High Schools, twenty-three public grade schools and five parochial schools. In addition to the annual visits of the Junior High School classes, several grammar school classes were brought to the Library by their teachers to become acquainted with our system and the work of the various. departments.
The major project of installing a new lighting system in Wellington Hall has been nearly completed and has proven a source of great satisfaction. We are now faced with a major renovating project of water proofing the front of the Central Building, replastering the front wall and new floor covering. Mayor Donovan and Public Works Commissioner Manning have assured us they will attempt to obtain sufficient monies for this project in the coming year. In connection with this work .we face a serious problem to find adequate facilities to operate. Mr. Manning informs us that it will require approxi- mately three months to complete this work and all books and shelving will have to be removed from Wellington Hall.
A fire in the building housing the Union Square Station forced the closing of this location for two weeks for repairs. Fortunately all damage was confined to the walls, ceiling and basement and did not effect our book collection or catalogue. Though somewhat improved physically this location is still in- adequate and a satisfactory relocation is imperative.
A series of petty burglaries over the summer week-ends at the Central Library was climaxed by the larceny of two brand new typewriters. Fortunately we were able to acquire a surplus in our Personnel Service Account and therefore we were able to transfer funds for replacements.
Because of the large numbers of the borrowers patronizing the Central Library and the limited parking facilities we are faced with a serious problem. A happy solution which we have
109
PUBLIC LIBRARY
recommended to Commissioner Manning would be to hot top the area between the two walks bounded by the Library and the Soldier's Monument.
For the first time we enjoyed an out-door lighting display at the Central Library during the Christmas holidays.
Again we have included in our budget a recommendation of funds for the micro-filming of the Somerville Journal and the Somerville Journal Press. We can not over emphasize the necessity of this project as we have the only complete files of these two important local papers. Historically this is a must. The continual use and the deterioration of age presents a seri- ous problem. Although kept under lock and key, age is taking its toll causing many of the issues to become extremely brittle and therefore can only be handled with the utmost care. It would be an historic tragedy if anything happened to our files which might cause an irreplaceable loss. We honestly feel this is the most important project the city could undertake this year - streets and buildings can be replaced - but the only record of the affairs both public and personal are contained in these files and are available no place else and never will be for the future generations of our community.
The Right Rev. Monsignor Thomas F. Garrity and the Rev. Dr. Guy H. Wayne were reappointed for another three year term as Trustees. Also, Mr. John J. Sheehan was appointed for a three-year term to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna- tion of Mr. William P. Mclaughlin, Jr. who moved from the city.
It was our intention to pay a special tribute to our beloved member of the Board of Trustees, Mr. John J. Griffin who completed twenty-five years of service on the Board this year. Mr. Griffin passed to his eternal reward on January 3, 1958. I know I cannot do justice to the memory of the extraordinary service of John Griffin. An unusual close personal friendship developed between the writer and John over his many years of service and his loss is a severe blow, for his exceptional inter- est in the affairs of the library and his advice and counsel will be sadly missed.
As is so often the case, the behind-the-scene work of our various departments is sadly overlooked. For example the Bindery Department rebound and placed back in circulation 2404 adult books and 2845 juvenile books, a total of 5249 books. In addition considerable time was spent on sewing magazines for circulation purposes, plus the binding of impor- tant records for various departments in City Hall and the
110
ANNUAL REPORTS
School Department. The work performed by this department is a tremendous savings to the city and permits us to recondi- tion books in short order while otherwise they would be taken out of circulation for an indefinite period of time.

Six hundred three names were added to the voting list after the Preliminary Election, making a total of 48,965.
NOMINATING PAPERS
The Board of Election Commissioners received four hun- dred six (406) papers on which twelve thousand, five hundred seventy-one (12,571) names were certified. There were no Initiative or Referendum Petitions received this year.
JURORS
In accordance with Chapter 234 of the General Laws, as amended by Chapter 211 of the Acts of 1924, the Election Commissioners prepared a list of the inhabitants of Somerville, liable to serve as jurors.
The Board had established a system, whereby each person, provisionally selected for jury service, fills out a questionnaire, and appears before the Board at the office and makes oath to the statements contained therein. This gives the Board an op- portunity to meet each individual and note, if any, his physical defects or disability to render the county the service that would be required from him as juror. These personal examinations, also, enable the Board to know the educational qualifications of each prospective juror.
The Jury List for the year 1957, prepared by the Board, contains the names of One Thousand Fifteen (1,015) prospec- tive jurors.
RECOUNTS
After the Election on November 5, 1957 a Recount was held for the office of Ward Three School Committee, Ward Four Alderman.
This Recount was started on Saturday, November 16, at 9:30 A.M. Figures of the Recount are on Pages 47 and 48 in the book, "Records of Elections", in the office of the Election Commissioners.
